So which World Cup had the most worthy contenders for the title?

Was it 2014? Colombia, Mexico, Chile and Belgium all looked like dark horses for the title.

What about South Africa 2010, with Uruguay, Ghana and Paraguay surprising many by reaching the last eight. In fact, Uruguay reached the semis.

Maybe it is 2002 Japan-South Korea - at that colourful tournament, Turkey and South Korea reached the last four.

And in 1986, plucky England might have reached the semi-finals if it was not for that pesky Diego Maradona.

Striker Marouane Chamakh signs a new two-year contract at Crystal Palace.

The 30-year-old signed last summer on a 12-month contract and scored five league goals - featuring regularly under Tony Pulis.

No surprise. The results for the most controversial World Cup are in and you have gone for 1986. Some guy called Maradona did something apparently.

1. 1986 - 47.7% 2. 1982 - 19.6% 3. 2014 - 19.5% 4. 1966 - 9.8% 5. 1962 - 3.4%

A still image fails to do justice to the ferocity with which Harald Schumacher's hip smashed into Frenchman Patrick Battiston at the 1982 World Cup.

The Germany goalkeeper was not sent off and saved two penalties in the penalty shootout which followed to send his country into the final.

Battiston was knocked out, lost teeth and ended up in hospital.

You have a few minutes left to vote on the biggest controversy at a World Cup.

"There were a lot of the fears about protests and the conditions of stadiums in Brazil - many of those fears have been allayed. On the field, I think the referees and officials have avoided huge controversies."

Remember, if you need help as to how Brazil 2014 compares to other World Cups, you can read the thoughts of BBC Sport's chief football write Phil McNulty and BBC commentator John Motson on the BBC World Cup page.

Luis Suarez's appeal against his four-month ban from football for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini has been rejected by Fifa.

The Liverpool striker - who is heavily linked with a move to Barcelona - can still take his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Under the terms of the suspension, Suarez cannot train with his club and is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium.

More now on Brazil's poster boy Neymar, who says he was lucky not to be paralysed during their World Cup quarter-final against Colombia.

The 22-year-old was fouled by Juan Zuniga and fractured a vertebra in his spine with the impact: "If it had been another two centimetres I could be in a wheelchair today," a visibly upset Neymar tells a news conference.

"I won't say he came to injure me - I don't what was going on in his head - but everyone who understands football can see that it wasn't a normal challenge."

After all, who can forget Saudi Arabia's Saeed Al-Owairan's incredible solo run and goal against Belgium, and didn't Romania's Gheorghe Hagi score from a million miles out against Colombia?
