Brazil's World Cup dream didn't just end in the semifinal; it was shattered spectacularly into tiny yellow pieces. A fast and tactical German team shredded Brazil's largely absent defense five times in 18 amazing first-half minutes to walk into the finals.
Brazil's defense was made to look silly by the German side.
Germany booked their place in the World Cup final with a record-breaking 7-1 demolition of tournament hosts Brazil.
Neymar was injured. Thiago Silva got a dumb yellow card. The rest of the Brazil team is getting exposed. The Germans took a 5-0 lead in the first 30 minutes, in Brazil. It's officially beat em down territory. Not the way the hostsÂ
Even though they've won the World Cup five times, Brazil never got over their loss at the Maracana in 1950. Their 7-1 defeat at the hands of Germany was infinitely worse.
