World Cup 2014: As Germany Eats Up Brazil With 7-1.

This was unbelievable, brutal, astonishing, The last team to score five in a semi-final were Brazil in 1958. Germany matched that in half-an-hour. 
Tel: It seemed that Muller, having reached double figures aged only 24, could chase down Klose and Ronaldo, who shared the World Cup record of 15 goals. Klose responded. Brazil were clinically dissected, soon resembling a yellow cadaver. After 23 minutes, Kroos powered through the middle, finding Muller, who flicked the ball in to Klose. Cesar saved the striker’s first shot but Klose ruthlessly despatched the loose ball, giving him the record. For now. Don’t rule out Muller long-term.

Then came that quick-fire Kroos double in the 24th and 25th minutes. Kroos was the catalyst for the first, passing to Osil, who neatly sent Philipp Lahm overlapping down the right. Muller failed to make proper contact and the cross continued to Kroos, who thumped it left-footed past Cesar. Again, brutal. Again, hopeless defending.

Kroos was immense, adding a deserved second within a minute. Fernandinho dawdled in possession, Kroos nipped in, nicking the ball and passing slightly left to Khedira. He returned the ball to Kroos, who again was not picked up by Brazil’s awol defence. Kroos this time applied his right foot to proceedings with the same result. Cesar beaten.

The Germans would not ease up. No mercy. No sympathy for the hosts. They were determined to ruin the party, the guests seizing control. Mats Hummels joined in the fun, driving through from centre-half, passing to Khedira. It was so quick, so precise that even a strong defence would have laboured, let alone a rabble like Brazil’s. Ozil took up the running, passing back neatly to Khedira, who slid in German’s fifth as Dante tried vainfully to stop the raging inferno engulfing Brazil.

The second half found little respite. Fred bore the brunt of the Brazilian fans’ frustration until he was replaced by Willian. Fred was not the only target, president and players alike were castigated.“Dilma **** off; Fred **** off; Oscar **** off”, thousands chanted. After 69 minutes, Germany made it 6-0 when Lahm guided the ball to the substitute Andre Schurrle, who deepened Brazil’s misery.

So much for the joy of sechs. Germans wanted more. Schurrle made it 7-0 from a tight angle and even the Brazilian fans began applauding German brilliance, pausing briefly to acknowledge Oscar’s firm finish.
