GERMANY HUMILIATED BRAZIL
- Thread starter rashidckk
- Start date
All those talks about "No Neymar and Silva" are all rubbish.In the league stages they tied with Mexico,barely squeaked by virtue of penalties against Chile. They got outplayed by Colombia but still managed to win. Germany destroyed them.Makes me wonder if they are an over rated team.
I totally agree with bala24. Their most "reliable and worth" excuse to expose for their - no longer - fans would be that they couldn't do anything to slow the pace at which the Germans were playing because Neymar and Silva were absent. Truth be said, they did rely on those two especially, but soccer is not resumed only at one or two players, it's about everyone's contribution to the overall performance of the respective team and potentially to their win. If they had played at least decent and had tried to be a team, I would've perceived the situation from a different angle. Brazil, you've run out of luck! I'm looking forward to the population's further protests. They government really needed a cold-tormenting shower to wake up from their mesmerizing illusion. Colombia, at least, retreated honorably by saying they didn't have the necessary money to build those opulent stadiums, whilst Brazil really had to waste that money on ephemeral stadiums with no further use, and then even brag about how spectacular they were!
Way to go, Brazil! Probably the worst team selection that has ever happened in the history of soccer, ever!

They relied heavily on those two and it cost them a lot this time. They couldn't coordinate within themselves as they have been doing in the previous matches. I second your thoughts on team selection, but yeah it would be unfair to blame scolari this time.

I was watching the game and I could not believe my eyes, before 30 minutes and Brazil was already 5 goals down, 5!!! I think this is one of those things that happens once in a lifetime, the Brazilians just lost their focus, but credit to the Germans, they played a superior game... 
You know what the Germans planned after half time.??.They didn't want to humiliate the oppostion all the more and refrained from playing tricks with the ball and keeping the defense part as priority.Shame that they had to lose it this way.At least Oscar put up something as a consolation,lest it would have been all the more humiliating.I was watching the game and I could not believe my eyes, before 30 minutes and Brazil was already 5 goals down, 5!!!

This match would be remembered for a long time and will go down in history as one of the worst performances.If we ever think of WC 2014,this is what pops out of our mind.

At least the Brazilians have the consolation that Spain was mauled almost as badly as them. Had the ref not have been biased in that first match, I don't think Brazil would have proceeded beyond the group stages. But because they got away with that karma paid them back in full.
Humiliating? Yes it was? Did I like it? Very much. I hate it when underdogs get unfair treatment.

Germany haven't really shown much of a weakness this cup. The way they manhandled Brazil was quite a showing, and although I didn't expect the scoreline, the result itself did not shock me. Brazil are very offensive oriented and lack a solid defense, and even with Neymar they wouldn't have stood a chance.
Germany are looking really good even for Euro 2016 and World Cup 2018. They are a young squad. I think they own Argentina too.

Definitely agree with pascual - Germany have been solid throughout the cup. While I don't think that it would've changed much having Neymar that match, I think Thiago Silva could have made a difference. If it would've been enough is hard to say, probably not considering their show against Mexico some time back. If the opponents have just one part of their play working flawlessly (With Mexico it was Ochoa, with Germany it was .. it all!), they just don't seem to be able to adapt their playstyle.
Their team is young with only 3 players out of their whole World Cup team being 30+!

Brazil seems disoriented and dazed when playing without Silva. Neymar's presence could alter things quite drastically though. He is a constant offensive threat and in order to be defensively solid the opponent must fear your offense. That was clearly not the case in this match. Germany pressed and pressed hard and high. They had almost nothing to be afraid of. Creatively speaking Brazil was below zero point. No imagination, lousy transition game between the center and their offense. Of course their defense is also to blame, after all they took 7 goals in.
Every great team in the history of sports goes through dramatic defeats every now and then. Brazil is a force to be reckoned with, will always be. It's just that they need change, and the need came knocking on their home door. Knocking really, really hard.
