It has been the tournament when Thomas Müller, Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben have confirmed their reputations, James Rodríguez has fully announced himself on the highest stage and Lionel Messi has set about trying to end the argument once and for all about whether he warrants his place alongside Maradona and Pelé as football’s elite.

Tim Howard: 'Mindblowing' support for U.S.
"The fact that it has really swept the nation is incredible for us as American players to see that," he told CNN.

"The interest has been mind-blowing and we've enjoyed watching every second of YouTube clips and Instagram and Twitter,"

Howard is certainly familiar with Fellaini, Lukuku and Mirallas.
