Yes, let's all laugh and gloat..but just hope it doesn't get more serious. The Brazilian goalie who was blamed for 1950 WC Final defeat had an awful life after - he described it as a 50 year life sentence, so please let's not be too flippant about what happened tonight. Look up Barbosa and then reflect on what this might mean for Fred, David Luiz, Oscar etc.
I'm quite sad about it all and found little to admire about ruthless Germans.
Completely different, the 1950 players returned to humiliation at home. The 2014 players will return to their European clubs and multi million contracts
Well, yes, except they are all human beings...
What happened to the 1950 Brazilians was nothing compared to what happened to Andres Escobar.
Could we now go back to attacking more worthy things, for example Sepp Blatter for giving the world cup to a country who clearly had higher priorities for spending that sort of money.

Surely, and I can't believe I am half defending Blatter, but the responsibility for this is the Brazillian FA and Government who decided they wanted to hold the WC in Brazil and spend the money where it was not needed.
The thing I admire most about Germany is they all play for the team, not for themselves. Through on goal with a 50/50 chance of scoring, or pass it to a team-mate who has an open goal? This unselfish style of play is what ripped the samba kings apart. Apart from the last goal by André Schürrle, the other 6 was simply down to a great team ethic..............

The spanish were also very similar in their recent dominance.
Loving the opportunity to point and laugh at a team/country thats enjoyed a hell of a lot of good times and will probably comeback a lot stronger. As Charlton fans we laugh at other, more successful teams like Man United or Arsenal when they get spanked, so this is no different.
Plus this Brazilian team are very unlikable and I don't mind the Germans.
I suspect Brazil wish they didn't have to play a 3rd/4th games - another performance like that could lead to the Netherlands or Argentina giving them a hammering.
Germany had it so easy at - they almost walked the ball in the net at times.
Just watched the highlights again, that 4th goal almost seems like bullying with how easily they score, can't believe how bad the defending was without Thiago Silva in the team.

i agree with this although it has also to be said that the other thing to like about the Germans is that apparently none of their most intelligent,sophisticated and key players appear to have any low IQ type tattoos on any part of their bodies .Ozil and Boetang as exceptions do not appear however to be either particularly intelligent or really key and could be replaced .The England team selectors could well do with looking initially at this simple and straightforward issue quite apart from all the other changes that need to be made .

Yep, the disparity in low IQ type tattoos stood out to me as the difference between the two teams yesterday as well. Get on it Hodgson.

and how do you know the whole team's private parts are not emblazoned with tattoos?
