 * The most penalties
 * The most own goals
 * The oldest player to play a WC game
 * The first German exit in the group stage (the 1938 loss was in a single-elimination format)
 * VAR, obviously
 * 4th subs in extra time for the first time in WC
 * England finally winning a penalty shootout in WC
 * A shock Russia surprisingly in the quarters when no one, not even their home fans, thought they were gonna go through
 * Messi and Ronaldo not meeting each other in the quarters (or even seeing the quarters)
 * A really cool attempt to throw-in that didn't work out unfortunately
 * Lots of memes already, particularly of Neymar and rolling on the ground

Eh let's be honest, having no Rinaldo and Messi makes a lot more fun. Anything can happen this world cup, and that's what excites me, and makes it one of the best world cups in the game.
