What a shame!

As a Brazil fan, you must feel cold and hot at the same time in the face of the shocking result: Anger, bewilderment and bottomless disappointment is the mixture of feelings that bubble inside you: 1:7 Brazil: Germany in the semifinal match of the 2014 World Cup! What a disgrace! What a disgrace! You can lose, but how you lose and by how much is also crucial. There has never been such a devastating result for a Brazilian national football team, at least I can't remember, and we are very unlikely to find something so pathetic in the history books.

0:1 against Brazil and that at home!
Everything actually started quite well. In the first five minutes, Brazil went on the attack, attacked, even if it did not yet lead to results, but they still had time. But no sooner had the first wave of Brazilian attacks dissipated than the Germans, who were known to be determined and well organized in midfield, arrived. And there was already the first shower: the corner for the Germans turned the uncovered Müller into a goal and to the surprise of the Brazilians it was 0:1 against them. That was a shock. With the certainty "we will be world champions" they had started to defeat the Germans and enter the World Cup final and now this. Brazil is a bit out of sorts. Sure, Captain Da Silva was missing in the defense, who usually organizes the defense, but you can't leave such a dangerous goal-scorer like Müller uncovered in the penalty area! Are the Brazilians crazy?

The first shock is not overcome
Now the Brazilians should have reacted, but the mood had obviously changed and the weaknesses of the Brazilian game became obvious: they had relied too much on prodigy Neymar throughout the tournament. He always ruled the attack, but he was now missing due to injury after being massively fouled in the quarterfinal match against Colombia. It was as if the snake's head had been cut off, the Brazilians showed themselves to be completely concept- and headless in attack. As a result, the Germans increasingly gained the upper hand and dominated the midfield. However, the fact that four more goals were scored against Brazil between the 23rd and 29th minutes spoke for a wrong attitude of the players, who probably thought that the victory would go by itself. The Germans showed good combination football, while the Brazilians were completely disorganized at the back and were outplayed like a team playing in a scrimmage. Like headless chickens, they jumped around wildly, each chasing the ball instead of organizing and dividing themselves up. In this way, the Germans were able to outplay them with ease, unworthy of a Brazilian national soccer team. How embarrassing! What a disgrace for a Brazilian national football team! Losing is part of business, but like this?! 0:5 it was at halftime against the Brazilian team and that in their own country, the Germans had a good laugh, what should happen there.

At least a consolation goal
In the second half, the Brazilians played much better, there were determined attacks and the defense was much better organized. But all the attacking is useless if you don't score a goal. The attacking game showed serious deficiencies of the Brazilians: Lack of concept. Running and then wondering what to do up front and improvising a bit can be done maybe at the beach, but not at a World Cup semifinal. Yes, if Neymar doesn't fix it, nobody will. Maybe the Brazilians also lacked a bit of luck, but overall the performance was disappointing. They could have scored 2 or 3 goals after 10 minutes, which would have built up the team psychologically, but when you are alone in front of the goal, you have to put them in, and the Brazilians showed themselves to be incompetent, clumsy, embarrassing, embarrassing! No, now it got worse, the Germans were able to counterattack well due to the attacking play and scored the 0:6 and soon even the devastating 0:7, surely the worst result of a Brazilian national football team ever. What a shame. It was only Oscar who managed to score a consolation goal, although he didn't do himself any favors either, having just missed a great chance to score. So the final score was 1:7 Brazil:Germany. What a shame!

Explanation attempts
Reason for this disgrace: Clear chances carelessly missed, headless and conceptless football play both in attack and in defense, with the attitude "we win anyway, we are at home". I didn't like the team lineup either, a clear miscast like Fred wasn't substituted for a long time, only when the crowd started whistling at him. Scolari watched as four goals fell without reacting, here he should have reacted to bring a movement in the team. From the coach to the goalkeeper, who was not at his best today either, everyone together had completely failed. From this perspective, the result is deserved, it's tough, but maybe it will finally wake them up from their vacation trance.

What the Brazilian national football team showed on the pitch in today's World Cup semifinal against Germany was largely pathetic and a disgrace for the reputation of this great football nation! The result 1:7 Brazil: Germany a real disgrace!
