As strange as this sounds I think the Brazilians will grind a result out against Germany tonight.

Up to the first goal Brazil were shading it. Germany were breaking extremely well though.

Germany's first goal was just utterly dreadful marking at a corner and a nice finish. Brazil have been a defensive shambles ever since.

I wanted Brazil to win, but man this collapse is really funny.

Great to watch this humiliation ...a riot a riot, I predict a riot.....
Berlin will be supped dry!

Ohhh, that was beautiful. Best case scenario would be the Dutch to hammer the Argies, and the Dutch to go on and hammer the Germans in the final...

I think the fact that Germany have absolutely demolished Brazil might have put the brakes on any rioting TBH.

I think if this happened early in the tournament then the protests could have ruined the World Cup. But Brazil actually doing so well by actually reaching the semi, and then collapsing so spectacularly could be one of the few things that means the massive riots don't happen.

If they'd gone out in a close game it might have been worse.

I think Brazil might go into mourning rather than rioting mode.

I loved Cesar and Luiz holding a Neymar shirt during the anthem too, that was so Kopite

We all knew this brazil team was a big barrell of camel p*ss. Great to see it exposed so ruthlessly on the biggest stage.
David luiz was made to look like coco the clown. He was as much use to brazils defence as a lump of sh*t.

Germany have been threatening something like this for years. They thrashed argentina and us in the last world cup. They've made the semi's of the last 4 major tournaments. This is their moment, the culmination of that work coming toegther perfectly all at once.

Must admit I thought he must have died between the build up and the anthems.

As Chris Waddle said they would have been the worst team to win a world cup, so its cheering to see them dumped out like that.

Heard the 5 Live game commentary highlights on the way in to work this morning, the summariser saying at 0-4, "if we were giving marks out of 10, Fernandinho would only get 1 for putting his shirt on the right way round" was a real moment
