Spectacular goals, improved goalkeeping and calls for more VAR are all features of a record-breaking tournament
A multitude of records have been shattered on and off the field. For the first time Germany were knocked out in the group stage and USA failed to win at least a bronze, losing in the last 16. The overall attendance record of 1,353,506 for Canada 2015 was broken in Australia and New Zealand with the Sweden v USA last 16 match. Ticket sales smashed the initial target. In short: a tournament for the history books.
