It doesn't much matter what the final score of the game was or the fact that Germany hit Brazil with a blitzkrieg scoring 5 goals in the first 28 minutes, it's the fact that Brazil put on an embarrassing performance today at Belo Horizonte. You can sit in your chair and you can make all the excuses you want and claim that it was because Neymar was out due to the fractured vertebrae and the fact that Thiago Silva was out due to yellow card accumulation. The truth to the problem was that Brazil was not a complete squad because this team wasn't supposed to lose this bad. I had claimed that it was going to be Germany 3 Brazil 2, but after 70 minutes it was 6 to 0 in favor of Germany. Miroslav Klose, André Schürrle (2), Sami Khedira, Toni Kroos (2), and Thomas Müller all had goals to end the game 7 to 1. Oscar had a goal in the 90TH minute to try and save face.
The last time Brazil had lost this bad was to Uruguay in a Copa America game, but to be in a World Cup semifinal and lose this bad is just shameful. Brazil didn't play to the standard that the world expects from this team and to blame it on the loss of two players is the worst excuse possible. Brazil allowed Germany to do whatever the team pleased throughout the whole entire game constantly giving the Germans space with the ball. It was a recipe for disaster for the Brazilian national team and they payed for it dearly. Now saying that the loss of both those players left a giant sized hole in the team is more like it. If you watched this game then you saw the fact that Germany played like a team that was willing to do anything to win and their rewarded with a chance to claim the title for the first time since 1990. If Germany are to win the world cup crown, it will be the first time that they won it as a Unified Germany. No matter what, you can not take anything away from Germany, they earned the win.
