WORLD CUP: GERMANY humiliate Brazil
were shattered after a humiliating 7-1 defeat
by rampant Germany in the Maracana in Belo
Horizonte.
The hosts had stuttered to the semi-finals and
they were lacking star performer Neymar but
nobody would have expected the nature of
their team's woeful efforts as their defence
was ripped apart in their own back yard,
conceding five goals in 19 first-half minutes.
Miroslav Klose became the World Cup's all-
time leading scorer with his 16th goal
and Andre Schurrle bagged a double to
continue the misery after the break and the
jeers and tears had already begun by the time
Oscar tapped in a late consolation.
Brazil had not lost a competitive match at
home since 1975 and the result eclipsed their
worst-ever defeat, 6-0 to Uruguay in 1920
before the World Cup had even begun.
Germany will now play Argentina or
Netherlands - who go head-to-head on
Wednesday - in Sunday's final.
