Robben, Rodriguez and Cahill: Watch the best goals of World Cup 2014

Robin van Persie and Oscar ensured that the World Cup started with a couple of fine goals, and Mario Goetze brought it to an end with a fantastic strike against Argentina to seal a fourth title for Germany.

World Cup 2014 saw 171 goals, which is a joint-record in the tournament's history along with the 1998 edition held in France. After a helter-skelter start, the knockouts saw closer battles (apart from Germany demolishing Brazil 7-1) but World Cup 2014 will be remembered for being an exceptionally entertaining tournament.
