until Tokyo Olympics

Jul 19, 2014

Germany won the championship.

The World Cup Brazil has finished.



The final game, Germany vs. Argentina, was a dead heat as well as many other games in this World Cup and went into the extra time. It was 1-0.





The features of the World Cup Brazil were,

- Most of the games were head-to-head and very exciting to watch.

- Goalkeepers played outstandingly,
such as;
Howard (the US), Ochoa (Mexico),  Julio Cesar (Brazil), Navas (Costa Rica), not to mention Neuer (Germany).

- Incredible thing, Brazil lost with the score 1-7, happened.



The Awards

Golden Ball : Lionel Messi (Argentina)

Some say that Messi wasn't deserved, but I realized that he is an extraordinary player. Any other top players are no match for him. It's no wonder Nigeria coach said Messi is from Jupiter. haha.

No smile because just after the final game he lost.


Golden Boot : James Rodriguez (Colombia) --- 6 goals

His number of games were fewer than other strikers because Colombia lost in the quarter final.
In spite of that, he scored most. Great!
He was definitely the player who got attention most in this World Cup.



Golden Glove : Manuel Neuer (Germany)

Although many goalkeepers showed great performance, I think nobody is against his award.



Young Player Award : Paul Pogba (France)

Many young players played very well, such as Rodriguez (Colombia), Naymar (Brazil), Götze (Germany), but they are all 22 years old or above.
There wasn't such a noticeable person among players who are 21 years old or less.
(Precisely, the award winner must have been born on or after 1 January 1993.)

Fair Play Award : Colombia



My most favorite scene

Colombia' dance when they scored a goal!!
