Less than two months after the World Cup Final, where Germany defeated Argentina to become official FIFA and unofficial UFWC champions, the two sides come together for a rematch. This friendly, at the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, was arranged back in March, long before the World Cup took place in Brazil. The coincidental rematch gives Argentina the chance to gain some form of revenge.

UFWC Review of the Year 2014

But that undisputed championship didn't last long, as the official and unofficial titles were separated by a resurgent football nation. And there were plenty of other surprises along the way.
