Brasil 2014

Looking at the goals again it’s like watching a training run where the coach has told the defenders to just hang back and let the attackers work on their interplay in the box.

And it was a smart move by Germany to borrow Canterbury’s jerseysfor the match.

Good point, well made:D

My team Reading managed to lose a 4 goal lead to Arsenal in League Cup last year. Couldn’t see Germany doing that though.

And the riots begin in São Paulo.

And there’s 6.

Holy fuck. Six!!

That was pretty embarrassing.

Six of the best!!!

6 nil!

6-0, and Brazil prove their defensive shiteness was no momentary lapse.

That may have been the worst defending I’ve ever seen.

I mean it looked like they just stood there and let them score. It’s the weirdest thing.

I just don’t know what Brazil are thinking! In the league you’ll sometimes see teams collapse because at the end of the day even the most rigourous thrashing can be cancelled by a run of good results, but in the World Cup semi-final!

Good grief, I think I’ve never seen anything like this in my life…

The Brazilian team is going to need police protection after tonight!!!

<conspiracy theory>

Someone put something in Brazil’s water bottles!

</conspiracy theory>

Water instead of cachaça!

I think Löw just hid his face in his hands out of fear the cameras would catch him smiling.

Except Neymar and Thiago… Well, maybe just Neymar.

I know Brazil was suspect, but with this Germany, is there any point in actually having the final?

The Guardian blog has just described it as “death by a thousand side-foots” they aren’t far wrong. Solid, two-touch pass and move has destroyed Brazil here.

Conversation on the German bench - “have you had a world-cup goal yet? - no? - well, have a go then. Substitution!”
