Fifa World Cup 2014 Semi-Finals Brazil vs. Germany

This was probably the poorest game the Brazilian team ever played in World Cup history. Brazil, who was Neymar-dependent, was sad after Neymar had been injured against Colombia in the quarter-finals and, on top of that, the captain Thiago Silva was missing, too. These 90 minutes were the worst the hosts of the world cup themselves were going to experience. Thomas Mueller kicks off the game in minute 11 nailing the ball into the right corner with his knee. In minute 23 Miroslav Klose shoots. Hits off Julio Cesar, comes back to Klose, and Germany leads 2-0. Only 43 seconds later in minute 24, Tony Kroos receives a through ball from midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, extending the lead by another goal. Two goals in two minutes, that's as far as it gets, you would assume, but you would be wrong. Not two minutes later, Miroslav Klose makes a dangerous area pass to Tony Kroos, who makes the lead 4-0. The German side are now laughing their heads off, since a 26 minute 4-0 lead is not something you'd normally expect against Brazil. To make matters worse for Brazil, in minute 29, Sami Khedira receives a one-on-one with the goalie and makes the 5-0 lead. After half-time in minute 69, Chelsea midfielder Andre Schurrle gets an angle shot that hits the cross-bar and then bounces back in, clearly unstoppable for Julio Cesar. Andre Schurrle scores again, 10 minutes later with a cross right to his feet. In minute 90, Brazil midfielder Oscar scores making the lead 7-1, but the Germans didn't care. They were moving on to the finals and had broken a World Cup record. They are playing vs. the winner of Argentina & Holland in the Fifa World Cup Final, in the stadium of Rio De Janeiro. As for the humiliated Brazil; they will be facing the loser of Argentina and Holland in the "loser's final".
