There were a number of upsets in the tournament in the league stage. Best gaming skills were displayed. For the first time goal line review and replay method was used to give decisions, when the umpire is in a doubt. Vanishing cream spray was used for marking a 10 yard line for the defenders to stand, for a free kick by the other side. There were upsets in the successful players too.
Brazil was a disappointment this year. Extravagantly built 12 stadia in Brazil (many of them along the coast) hosted the matches. Cooling breaks after 30 minutes of play were introduced when the temperature was more than 30 deg C.
A biological passport was introduced for the players. James Rodriguez was awarded Gloden boot for the 6 goals (maximum) scored by him. Unfortunately Lionel Messi scored only 4 goals. He also received a prize of golden ball along with others. Christian Ronaldo could not perform well in this cup. The prize money won by Germany was 35 million dollars.
