The Jmc Retro World Cup USA 2014 was a tournament that took place in the USA on Pro Evolution Soccer 6. The tournament started on May 11th, and concluded on December 21st 2014 over a period of 8 months.
The teams that qualified were the countries that watched JCA1009's channel the most. Argentina, the four time world champions at the jmc World Cup, won the tournament by beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1 in the final. Host nation the USA finished in 3rd place with Algeria finishing 4th place. Current jmc world cup host Serbia and former jmc world cup hosts Japan were both eliminated at the group stage. Japan 2012 winners Italy were eliminated in the quarter final after a penalty shootout with the host nation USA. Japan 2012 runners-up Portugal were eliminated in the round of 16.
