The 2014 World Cup was hosted by Gran-Luslandia, a historic region that includes three independent countries: Brasonia, Belgravia and Luslandia.
Unlike another times, in 2014 the choice of head groups was only due to WAFO ranking, and because this, two host countries (Luslandia and Belgravia) were not head groups.
In this current format, in groups stage, the 32 teams are divided in eight groups of four. The two best ones in each group go to the next stage. Here, from round of 16 till the final, each match eliminates the losers. The two losers in semi-finals play a match to decide the 3rd place.
As with the 2010 tournament, each team's squad consisted of 23 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers). Each participating national association had to confirm their final 23-player squad no later than 10 days before the start of the tournament. Teams were permitted to make late replacements in the event of serious injury, at any time up to 24 hours before their first game. During a match, all remaining squad members not named in the starting team were available to be one of the three permitted substitutions (provided the player is not serving a suspension).

Groups Stage
Group A
Despite the fan`s party and playing at home,
Luslandia was the only one of the host countries did not advance to knockout stage in 2014 Gran-Luslandia World Cup.
was a strong group. Here was one of the host countries (
Luslandia) and one of the favorite teams to the Cup (
Karolia). Ironically, the only no-favorite team at the group (
Lallemand ) got advancing to knockout stages, in second place, havent been defeated in any match.
Karolia got the first place.
Luslandia said good-bye early, but it was not a so big problem to the people continue the party during all World Cup.

Group B
Even at night and raining,
Pretany vs.
Ereva 3 had a full ground.
was not a so difficult group to
Latina, one of the favorite teams, but was a interesting group to decide the second place. In the end,
Zylanda, in a very good time, got advancing to knockout stage just one point ahead
Ereva 3 and
Pretany, whose pontuation was exactly the same one. Bad results to
Pretany, that was World champion once, in 1942.

Group C
Group C was a incognite. The head of the group was
Cariocas, a small country in the middle of the ocean settled by old gran-luslandese people. And plays like at home, because of this! In Glória city there is a club playing the brasonian Serie A named "Atlético
Cariocas". Despite its geographic size and curiosities,
Cariocas got very good results in football.
Ataraxia has tradition in football, but was not passing a good time in 2014. Got going to knockout phase with just four points. As imaginated,
Cariocas went to Round of 16 too, but, as a surprise, leading the group with three victories in three matches.

Group D
In Group D, there was no doubt about Darcodia and host country Belgravia as favorites. Maybe Mazan could got better luck, but looks like its good time was in the past. In a not so good time, Ardisphere came to Gran-Lusland to get more experience, and has not a so bad journey, because scored one goal in each match, include facing the big favorites Darcodia and Belgravia and almost won Mazan in last the match.

Group E
Group E was another not so difficult group to bet. Pelanesia 1 and Archanta 6 was the big favorites, and easily reached the Round of 16. With not so much tradition in international competitions, Orinoco and Ereva 2 came only to get more experience. Orinoco won Undecided by 1x0, but Undecided got a 1x1 with the better team from Undecided, a inesperate score.

Group F
Brasonia vs.
Free Spot No.0 in groups stage match in 2014 Gran-Luslandia World Cup.
was another incognite group. The host country Brasonia was the only favorite here, and in fact, easily reaches the knockout stage. But all the emotion was to the second place decision.
Mergany and
Xsegunis finishes the stage group with exaclty the same campaign, including about goals for. But
Xsegunis got two more goals against, and
Mergany follow
Brasonia to round of 16 in 2014.

Group H
In Group H, there are no doubt about Freedemia leading the pack. In fact, with three victories in three matches, they reached knockout stage with no problem. Having a good phase in football, even in local championship than international matches, Ereva 1 was the second force in this group, and did not give any chance to Tárrases bring a surprise to the people here. In last place, Florescenta, with a limited team and without its main players, injured, go back to home with three loses in three matches.

Knockout Stage
Round of 16
Here, half of the national teams was even eliminated, and only a half of these winners will follow ahead. The party continues on the stadiums and streets. Karolia eliminate the good team from Zylanda by 2x0. Belgravia only won Cariocas in penalties. Latina dont give chance to surprise-team from Lallemand , and Darcodia scored in the final minutes to win Ataraxia. Kalm, Brasonia and Pelanesia 1 won, respectively, Undecided, Archanta 6 and Tárrases by 3 goals difference. The minimum score was just in the last match of the stage, when Auronia eliminates a good scratch from Freedemia, after a very intense match.
Quarter-finals
There was so much things to say about this stage. We could say about the dramatic classification of Karolia against one of the host countries Belgravia. We could say about another match of favorites finishing in penalties, when Undecided won the good scratch from Kalm.
We could say about Auronia and a convincent victory against Darcodia. But we can not ignore the bigger shame in all brasonian football history. Latina won by incredible 7x1.
Semi-finals
Latina goes to the ground against
Auronia using its away kit, but with green numbers, in a simpathy act to Brasonian people.
Two distinct matches in the semi-finals. In the first game of this stage,
Karolia needed, again, a dramatic penalties sequence facing the so good team from Undecided to reach a place in the Great Final. But in the other match of the Semi-Finals,
Latina got no problem to score so much goals another time and won the good team from
Auronia by 4x0.
Third place play-off
Auronia shows to the World why is considered one of the best national teams in this time, even after the 4-0 defeat against Latina in the previous round

Final
Latina and
Karolia played the Great Final in a full Estádio Central, finishing the bigger sport event in all Gran Luslandese history.
Latina won by 1x0 and got more one world title to its collection.
And the 2014 World Cup was going to finish. Fans from all parts of the world came to a full Estádio Central and around, to see the great match between
Latina and
Karolia, two of the strongest national teams of all the football history.
Karolia were the favourites to win the game.
Even with the little rivalry because of being Gran Lusland's neighbour, Latina had many fans amongst the locals, due to the good moments on the grounds. On the otherside, Karolia's national team got the bigger part of fans in the Gran Luslandia countries.
At the ground, the match turned out to be a very good one with both sides fielding their top strikers and attacking from the start. Playing a fair-play game, the two best teams of this Cup gave a show to the fans. But this time, Latina did not score so many goals (having had 11 in the 2 last matches), and won by a minimal score.
However, the fans got plenty for their money. Latina had more chances from the game, but were not able to get a goal past the Linna keeper Jaas Balos. At the other end, Karolia responded with dangerous counter-attacks, so that Latinian goalkeeper Aemilio Bianchi also had to risk all to keep the ball out. Attacking midfielder Leosi Saevoo came close two minutes into the second half with a spectacular attempt from nearly forty yards that would have been one of the great goals in World Cup history had it gone in, but Bianchi pulled off an equally incredible dive to get a glove to the ball and save the shot. In the extra time Latinians' trainer Joaquim Leone sent on Mario Idolo, the young talent, to replace the injured Pacello Proximo. Idolo was not succesful at scoring in the games before, but in minute 113 he saw his chance - cool and hardboiled he left his marker and intercepted a cross to set the leather in the goal of Karolia. So Latina gets the fourth star for the tricot of the national team.
