Less than halfway into the game right now and Germany are wrecking Brazil 5-0, three goals within minutes of each other.

Ivysaur July 8th, 2014 12:48 PM

This is right up there with the day Real Madrid lost 4-0 to 2nd division B Alcorcón.

Except Brazil are playing at home.

Judge Mandolore Shepard July 8th, 2014 12:52 PM

Yeah, that was a really exciting first half of the match. Course with Muller's goal, he became the 13th player in history to score at least 10 World Cup goals. As for Klose's goal, he surpassed Ronaldo for most amount of World Cup goals.

Sir Codin July 8th, 2014 12:57 PM

I'm still going to root for them because of my bet, but I just have no clue how Netherlands are going to handle Argentina. I mean, they barely beat Costa Rica.

Argentina barely beat all the teams they have faced so far, including massive rivals such as Iran. So yeah.

0-7. This is now Brazil's worst loss in football history.

The final score was Germany 7 Brazil 1

HaloSonic July 8th, 2014 1:57 PM

That was utter carnage. Brazil hasn't had such an embarassing defeat like this since 1950.

That was a last minute goal, shut up. :(

But jesus what a massacre. Brazil's locker room must be hell right now.

I live in a neighborhood with a large Hispanic populous and 5 minutes ago, the streets were mayhem. Maybe I would live easier if I wasn't Part German or Part Dutch. The day when Mexico lost to Netherlands was also pretty bad. But however, Brazil, you still tried, even without your star player Neymar, so GG.

Sir Codin July 8th, 2014 2:38 PM

Oh, man, get a load of the pictures taken after the match. You can just see the disappointment on every Brasilian's face as clear as day.

OK, this is heartbreaking.

Nathan July 8th, 2014 2:58 PM

Oh well, Brazil's defense and midfield died today. Also congrats to Klose for reaching 16 goals in WC.

Sir Codin July 8th, 2014 3:35 PM

I mean, I expected Germany to beat them at least 2-1, but 7-1? Wow.

donavannj July 8th, 2014 7:21 PM

Hot damn does Germany know how to turn on the afterburners! This is the second mauling they've handed out this tournament. And against both of the Portuguese speaking nations in the tournament, too. Wonder if they were utilizing any trash talk in Portuguese, haha. :P

Pepperton July 8th, 2014 10:04 PM

Glad I wasn't near any Brazilian after the game today. I'll have to be with one for over six hours tomorrow though, and I can imagine the kind of mood he'll be in. With good reason, his country was abysmal today and were humiliated badly on the world stage with everyone watching. Germany showed no mercy. Ugly to watch, especially when they cut to that Brazilian kid bawling in the stands. :/

Oddisee July 9th, 2014 5:06 AM

GG PSG, 50 mil for David Luiz, transfer of the century!

Brazil had it coming really. They've been abysmal this entire tournament, pulling through on the individual class of Neymar and the defensive stability thanks to Silva. I absolutely loved it. 8D

Well, at least we can say that this good sir has a giant heart, broken or not. He bravely accepted defeat and handed over the cup.

Whelp, Netherlands lost and I'm out $1 on a bet. Congrats, Argentina, for breaking my spirit.

donavannj July 9th, 2014 6:51 PM

And on penalties, too. Rough way to miss out on the final.

On the flip side, you could miss out by losing 7-1. =p

Watched it up until extra time, and then I had to go to uni. =( Oh well, watched a replay of the penalties.

I'm truly sorry you had to endure that and you didn't get to watch the only 5 minutes in the entire match worth watching without thinking about suicide.

Eruption July 11th, 2014 11:49 AM

This third place play off seems unnecessary, but I find it odd that Van Gaal came out and complained rather than Scolari. Van Gaal can use it as a good note to go out whereas Scolari will probably be assassinated on the touchline.

Anyway, Boro make a move and it's fairly big. £3M on 'Kike' from Real Murcia. 23 goals in the Adelante last season, could be a good decision. Any knowledge on him Went?

Aeroblast July 11th, 2014 10:58 PM

50 million for David Luiz. Jose Mourinho has pulled a master stroke.

Looking forward to the final, it'll be closer than most people expect despite Germany's 7-1 vs Brazil.

Ivysaur July 12th, 2014 12:31 PM

9 goals conceded in 120 minutes. Marvellous.
