Brazil 2014 World Cup
In March 2003, FIFA announced that the tournament would be
held in South America for the first time since 1978, in line with
its then-active policy of rotating the right to host the World Cup
among different confederations. With 2010 FIFA World
Cup, hosted in South Africa, it would be the second consecutive
World Cup outside of Europe, which was a first for the
tournament. It was also second in the Southern Hemisphere. Only
Brazil and Colombia formally declared their candidacy but, after
the withdrawal of the latter from the process, Brazil was officially
elected as host nation unopposed on 30 October 2007

Goals corers
The Final goal scorer 113 minutes, was goal number 171 of the World,

they ended up giving the lap of Spain in overtime against Netherlands,
reached 145 goals. In Germany 2006, when Italy became Tetra Champion
through penalty shootout against France, were able to convert 147 goals,
and Japan-Korea 2002 after two goals from Ronaldo to give the victory to
Brazil over Germany was reached the sum of 161 goals.
Quarter-finals
With a 10 victory over France, Germany set a World Cup record
with four consecutive semi-final appearances. Brazil beat
Colombia 21, but Brazil's Neymar was injured and missed the

first time since 1990 after a 10 win over Belgium.
Semi-finals
Germany qualified for the final for the eighth time with a 71
win over Brazil the biggest defeat in Brazilian history since
1920. Miroslav Klose goal in this match was his 16th in all
World Cups, breaking the record he had previously shared
with Ronaldo. Klose set another record by becoming the
first player to appear in four World Cup semi-finals
