First topic message reminder :

Maybe Toure just never saw Mexico's game against Cameroon or Bosnia's game against Nigeria?

by Fernando Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:26 pm

It's like being an Arsenal fan for the Brazilians

All falls apart when Thiago Silva is gone.

by Scrumpy Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:27 pm

Where is their backbone!

by Nachos Jones Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:27 pm

Brazilian fans already leaving. That's poor.

by GSC Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:28 pm

Can't support Germany, just can't do it.

by Ent Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:28 pm

Scolari has turned water into wine with this squad - what has happened to Brazils footballers?

by Scrumpy Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:28 pm

Keep praying Brazil

by Fernando Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:29 pm

5-0 - Khedira

by Scrumpy Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:29 pm

by Guest Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:29 pm

brilliant!

by Guest Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:29 pm

We knew this was coming. Brazil papered over the cracks for too long in this tournament. Scolari has stayed loyal to garbage players

Khedira! Yeah, he's rubbish Kingraf!

by The Special Juan Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:29 pm

Hope PSG kept their receipt.

by jbeadlesbigrighthand Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:29 pm

Sami Khedira's not having a bad game, is he?

by Lowlandbrit Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:29 pm

What a historic day: Klose is the record world cup scorer, Brazil are getting thrashed at home, and people all over the world actually want Germany to beat Brazil.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:29 pm

#Khedira

by Nachos Jones Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:29 pm

This is amazing. Brazil have been found out in some style. I never saw this coming...

by **Pal Joey** Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:30 pm

5... I thought that was a replay of the 4th for a moment!

I'm just saying

5-0... now Khedira! Khedira! Khedira!

by Ent Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:30 pm

Offside that one but brazil have absolutely collapsed since the second goal.

Modern football - David luiz is a 50 million pound centre half when I'm a better defender

by GSC Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:30 pm

Everythings gone wrong for Brazil and right for Germany. Leading to a glorious choke in the final.

by westisbest Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:32 pm

WTF is going on Laugh

Was in the car at 1-0.

Got home unpacked the shopping, had a shower.

Just put the tv on 5 fkng 0.

Jesus wept

by **Pal Joey** Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:32 pm

Feel sorry for all the Brazillian people and especially the kids in the favelas.

by Ent Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:32 pm

Get all that in play money on a brazil red card

by Gregers Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:33 pm

What a game so far, superb seeing the Brazilians implode just as we all said they would

This could end up in double figures!

And to cap it all off Klose becomes the highest scorer ever in world cup football with a goal against brazil in brazil!

by Scrumpy Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:33 pm

Why is the Brazilian manager still barking orders?

Get your coat man.

Man, was I so wrong. Good call Kingraf clap

This is glorious, so so glorious

Ah the scenes

That's what happens when you try to buy a World Cup, I guess the ref won't be getting his fifa bonus!

by GSC Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:35 pm

Darkest day in Brazilian football bar none.

The executioner might as well get a ride to Belo now because heads will roll.

by Ent Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:35 pm

Klose just dribbled it past Marcelo - seriously this is an absolute joke from braZil.

They should be embarrassed.

by GSC Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:36 pm

It does surprise me the anti brazil sentiment I must say. Especially against Germany.

Go on enjoy it, just don't mention the war, I did but I think I got away with it.

What a way to get the reality check. Just hope the country doesn't implode as well.

Could well be riots tonight.

Scolari deserves this public humiliation. Terrible manager, shambolic squad selection & embarrassing loyalty to clearly average players like Fred, Hulk & Maicon. Deserve this do the Brazilians.

by Nachos Jones Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:39 pm

I cant help but feel the most important moment in the first half was when the Brazilian went down looking for a penalty after an excellent tackle from Lamm. Had that penalty been awarded then Brazil would not have capitulated like this. Well don't the ref in that regard.

by GSC Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:39 pm

Honestly, I'd rather Argentina for Messi.

by Duty281 Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:39 pm

Cheer up Brazil, England's worse than you!

It was four goals in six minutes apparently!

Am with you GSC. Hopefully Messi will teach them a thing or two in the final although the Germans have no real flaws in their system.

by **Hero** Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:39 pm

Expecting Neuer to go up for corners soon wanting a goal.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:40 pm

I just can't support this Brazilian team, they've turned me into a disbeliever.

I hope Germany score more. WE WANT 9!

Who better do they have?

He's done a good job IMO, and you can't call him a terrible manager for getting to 3 World Cup semi finals (going onto win one).

by kingraf Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:41 pm

Brazil without Thiago Silva is like
Destinys child without Beyonce

If you're going to play the way Brazil have played, you'd better get results. Big Phil's going to need to move to Mongolia after this.

by kingraf Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:42 pm

Germany tika taka doesn't play around

by **Pal Joey** Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:42 pm

Kicking myself. Only tipped Germany to win 2-1. Should have trusted my gut instincts.

by GSC Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:42 pm

Brazilian teams have always been cynical. The players aren't there to play like the teams of old, Neymars the only attacker of any great quality.

Saw someone saying a shambolic squad selection by Scolari, who else is out there?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 08 Jul 2014, 9:43 pm

This is the biggest shock in world football since Nodge 1-7 Colchester

Who will play the Cody McDonald role for Brazil

No one.

He's pulled off a freaking miracle getting here.
