FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, has heaped praise on a ‘very special World Cup’ and feels that Brazil bettered South Africa four years ago.

Blatter gave the hosts a mark of 9.25 out of 10, just slightly higher to the rounded figure of 9 that he bestowed on the African nation in their first World Cup on the continent.
“We calculated last night and used all the computers. Out of 10 we came to 9.25, nine and a quarter,” he said.
“So Brazil has improved since South Africa. Perfection does not exist. If someone at university got 10 out of 10 they must have some arrangements with the professors.”
Germany ran out champions for the fourth time in their history, when they defeated South Americans Argentina 1-0 in extra-time.
