    Best performed players
    Goalkeepers
    Magic moments at a World Cup are not limited to spectacular goals. There are also some amazing saves made by goalkeepers. Among the eight matches of the round of 16, five went to extra time and two to penalties. Goalkeepers were also heroes then as they saved spot kicks to keep their team's hopes alive.

    Most dedicated player
    Neymar
    "I kept getting tripped up and kicked to pieces ...," said Neymar, "and the referee did nothing to protect me or my teammates from these rough-house tactics." Neymar, describing how he was battered at this World Cup and is now out after a Colombian opponent fractured his back?

    Most humble hero
    Miroslav Klose
    Miroslav Klose became the World Cup's all-time record scorer with 16 goals - surpassing Brazil great Ronaldo's 15. Klose equaled Ronaldo's tally against Ghana in the group stage and netted his record-breaker in Germany's 7-1 demolition of Brazil.
    Klose: Ronaldo still the best


    Best dark horse
    Costa Rica
    The performance of Costa Rica reminds us of another unfancied team, Greece, who won Euro 2004. Just like the Greeks, Costa Rica arrived in Brazil as one of the dark horses. "Los Ticos" defeated former world champions Uruguay and Italy in the "group of death ", which took them back to the last 16.
    Costa Rica provides example for China


    Most inspirational team
    Team USA
    US President Barack Obama took a break from affairs of state to pop into a White House staff party to watch part of the World Cup soccer match between the US and Belgium in the round of 16. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann praised his team’s fighting spirit in spite of the second straight World Cup round of 16 knock-out.

    Most friendly rivals
    Loew and Klinsmann
    Joachim Loew and Jurgen Klinsmann shook hands, smiled and gave each other a hug, like the two good friends they are. The pair had every reason to be pleased having seen both teams advance to the knockout stage, kicking Portugal and Ghana out of the race.
    Germany vs USA – Made in Germany
     


    Most humiliating team
    Brazil
    Host Brazil's crushing 7-1 defeat to Germany astonished fans around the world. Losing by such a margin was seen as an embarrassment and humiliation for a nation where soccer rules. Then the host failed to make the third place finish and thus missed the last chance to impress home fans.

    Best dental work
    Luis Suarez
    Uruguay's Luis Suarez who sunk his teeth into Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder in their final Group D game. His third biting offence, after incidents in 2010 and 2013, earned a suspension from all football-related activity for 4 months plus a 9 international match ban and a 100,000 Swiss francs fine.

    Most idiotic way to deal with a teammate
    Benoit Assou-Ekotto

    Match fixing fears raised

     

     


    Most needless red card
    Pepe
    Portugal's task to overcome a 0-2 deficit against Germany was made even harder by a needless 37th minute red card for Pepe. The defender, furious at what he felt was "simulation" by Germay's Thomas Mueller following a slight collision between the two, was sent off for pushing his head into the German's face as he sat on the ground.
