All the karma came together tonight for Brazil. Expected Germany to win, even bet on it, but not like this.

The Hitch said:As I said all along Germany by far best team top to bottom and Brazil a poor squad that got very lucky to make the semis.
The five-time champions' team coach bears the phrase "Brace Yourself - The 6th Is Coming". It did indeed arrive, but only in the back of Julio Cesar's net.
Pricey_sky said:Like I said from the start, Brazil are average at the back. It's taken this harsh lesson for their own fans to realise it.

Wonder if David Luiz is still ahead in FIFA's player of the tournament competition.

cheers! i wondered how it happened and, i guess, that makes sensehappytramp said:Germany started the better and got a goal. It was fairly easy and Brazil didn't put up much of a fight. Then they got a second and shell shocked the Brazilians. What happened next was the shocking thing. They conceded 2 more goals in the next 2mins. 4 goals down and having conceded 3 goals in 3min, they just collapsed.
to be honest, that sounds like something i would have doneThe Hitch said:I actually went for a 15 minute walk from 1 bar to another during the period when Germany scored all their goals, no ****.
We left when Germany had just scored their first. Heard cheers twice on the walk. Looked into a bar and saw 3-0 but we assumed it was us misreading 2-0 cos our eyes were squinting. Heard some more cheers, thought they were cheering the replays.
Then got to the bar as they were showing replays of the 5th goal and nothing happened the rest of the half

l.Harm said:Imo Löw is a very nice person. Also I don't agree with you on him on his tactical decisions. But let not have that discussion right now
l.Harm said:De Jong is playing! Good news. I'm confident we'll win.
