Im honestly not convinced wrexham would be doing this bad against Germany, heads have completely dropped.

It's surprising but not surprising at the same time if you know what I mean

[TheGayTent]

Wonder if many brazilians will leave the ground early

[atomised]

I fancied Germany for the win but this is stunning. They've collapsed

Wow

[Essex_George]

PSG are going to want their money back.

For once shearer is right, for all the shambles of Brazil, Germany have been outstanding. I don't remember seeing a team so clinical. Against most teams Brazil could have got away with it,only 1 or 2 goals behind.

Amazing. I wanted Germany to show that this Brazil team were not worthy of their favourites tag but this is shocking.... I feel very sorry for the fans to have to witness this after the hype journey they have been on. It must be crushing

[pink_triangle]

I feel a bit sorry for Fred being made the scapegoat by the crowd. He has tried his hardest and not been good enough. More talented players have let Brazil down, the main one being their captian getting a pointless suspension.

Fucking hell! 7!! Yikes!

Great strike but....

Poor fuckers still have to play the bullshit 3rd place game. Tonight they died. That game will be the funeral.....poor gits

[pink_triangle]

I think they should get rid of that 3rd place game, have never watched it. Loved that klose video, who says the poacher is dead.

As Vickery and Junhinio suggested, hopefully Brazil will get some benefit from this result. The 94 and 02 winning teams suggested a pragmatic approach was the only way forward. I hope we will see Brazil move back towards their roots. A country with their population and footballing traditions will undoubtedly be back

Absolute master class from Germany, such an efficient and exciting team. I've been backing Argentina all summer, but I can't see anything other than Philippe Lahm holding the trophy aloft on Sunday.

not sure they would have. Brazil's bubble burst when the first goal went in.

The Neymar thing had already knocked the stuffing out of their confidence I'd say. As soon as the first goal went in and so early in the match they knew there wasn't really any coming back.

The goals were great tho - very unselfish play for many of them, where selfish play probably wouldn't have got them those goals.

In thought it was fucking great, much has been said recently about how Brazil simply aren't worthy of their "godlike" statuses any more, they are great footballers for the most part, but they havent played "samba football" for over a decade, they are cheating, diving twats, and reality is crashing in around them.

I would love an all european final.

[mrtourette]

Where is your God now Luiz?

Last night I wanted Germany to score from a Muller corner.

The last time Brazil looked so grim, Terry Gilliam was directing (shamelessly stolen, but amused me)

I have seem lots of team who have had their bubble burst, the opposition doesnt go in for the kill, then something happens that changes the game and they are back in it.

Germany are a mature side, were clinical and took advantage. While the defending was very poor, how many teams have we seen unable to take advantage of poor defending. As you say the unselfish play really stood out, the players had the vision and worked as a complete unit.

I wasn'tt trying to suggest that any team could have taken Brazil apart like that.

A big part of why it happened was because Brazil knew Germany were a strong team - stronger than they were without Neymar.

Despite that, Brazil had hope they still might win at the start. But with a goal going in so early they started to think they were on a hiding to nothing, which made things crumble far faster than they might otherwise have done.
