I already miss the World Cup, I get that way after every big Summer tournament. Spending 3-5 weeks watching big games and events daily becomes very habit forming.. You get into that rhythm.
Revised now that its all over..

(4) Tim Howard's 16 saves game against Belgium
(5) Gotze Final winning goal looking like a dude from a German boy band
(6)Robben kisses Spain good bye
(7) Costa Rica beats Italy (yeah, them beating Greece was bigger but this game was better)
(8) David Luiz and the Brazilians console a crestfallen James
(9) Serge Aurier's cross to win it for Ivory Coast against Japan
(10) Mexico draws with Brazil
Biggest Disappointments!
(1)Chile hitting the cross bar on that goal with seconds left to beat Brazil
(2) Netherlands deciding to more or less park the bus, then lose in a shootout.
(3)Greece's penalty kick against Ivory Coast
(4)Reza's three missed shots on goal in a row against Argentina
(5) Japan's draw with Greece which in hindsight turned out to both eliminate Japan AND Ivory Coast at the same time

Honorable mentions: Messi's goal against Iran; anything James from Colombia did; Von Persie's header looking like Flipper; Brooks' goal against Belgium; Italy win against England a match of art vs discipline
