If you were kidnapped by aliens and missed Brazil World Cup 2014, here are top five things you should know about this World Cup so that you aren’t mistaken as an alien yourself. Even if you saw all the World Cup games, this list will serve as a refresher so that you can sound soccer-smart at work and in bars.

Germany Makes History
Germany made history this World Cup by reaching the final for the eighth time, more than any other team has ever done. German Machine is the happiest team in Brazil. And of them, Miroslav Klose is the happiest, who is now the top-scoring player in World Cup history with 16 goals.

Shame on Host Nation
Brazil committed 31 fouls in their quarterfinal game with Colombia. That was the most number of fouls recorded in a single World Cup game. Ever. What happened to the beautiful game that Brazilians boasted? Also, Brazil was defeated by Germany by the biggest margin ever seen in a World Cup semifinal. Oops.

Not Good Year for Europeans
Nope, not a good one for the European powerhouses. England faced elimination from the group stage for the first time since 1958 and measly six European nations made it to the round of 16.

USA Makes a Mark
The Americans were never the ones for soccer. But this year, Tim Howard, the bearded U.S. goalie, made 15 saves during the quarterfinal against Belgium. Just to put that into contect, no goalkeeper has ever made as many saves in a single game.

Youngest and Oldest
Shoutout to the ones that don’t always get the spotlight. The oldest player to play at Brazil World Cup was Colombia’s goalie, Faryd Mondragon (43 years). The youngest was Luke Shaw of England (18 years).

The 2014 World Cup saw the highest number of goals scored with a cumulative 171 goals. That definitely contributed to the lengthy “GOOOOOOOOALL” shouts all over the world.

Now we all go into World Cup withdrawl.
