Brazil lost to Germany 1-7 in the semi-finals of the 2014 Fifa World Cup allowing Germany to arguably pull off the most extrodinary World Cup win of all time and move on to the next round of the World Cup. This game took place in July 8, 2014 at the Estudiado Mineirao in Belo Horizonte.
Both teams were expected to play a tough game and both expected to win. Germany was ranked 2nd and Brazil was right behind at 3rd place. Brazil had reached this game undefeated along with Germany who ended up stealing the win quickly. Germany was scoring goals left and right leaving he score at 0-5 with Germany taking the lead at halftime. Leading 0-5 at halftime Germany had scored 4 goals within 6 minutes and scoring through the second half ending with a last minute goal from Brazil ending the game 1-7.
Germany set the record of the largest leading margin in any World Cup semi-final.This game was an incredibly important game to both teams as well as the fans. Germany's players and fans had to be escorted out of the stadium. This was due to the fact that Brazil's fans could potantially harm anyone who supported the opposing team as shown in previous games. This win lead to an even bigger win for Germany in the finals, naming Germany as the first Eurpoean nation to win in South America.
¨we worked a lot and, if any group deserves it, it's this team.¨ said Germany's coach. He strongly believed the Germany had performed the best out of every team that competed in Brazil which clearly showed in the results. The team was said to have worked for this opprotnity for 10 years and the win was well deserved. Brazil is a great team that unfortunatly could not keep up with Germany in this competition.
¨Every player in this team gave everything they had.¨ also said by the Germany coach, He knew how hard his team had worked and had no doubt at all that everyone had given 110% into that game.
Brazil knew they had played a bad game and although they lost, they still gave full respect to Germany. ¨Not even the Germans can tell you how this happened – but it’s because of their skills and you have to respect that. We have to learn to deal with it.¨ said the Brazilian coach. Their coach didn't just teach this team how to win but also how to lose. Brazil knew that they had let their fans down but still gave Germany the respect they deserved. Brazil knew that they played a bad game but continued to try to win the third place match.
Brazil began to fall apart after Germany scored their first goal. The Brazilian coach stated, ¨We got disorganised and panicked after the first goal and then it all went wrong for us.¨ Germany had scored an incredible first goal, causig the Brazilian players to panick. This is not uncommon but id very unfortunate to have happend to Brazil due to the competition. Their passes were being intersepted and the game was seen as to be controlled by Germany. By half-time everyone knew who the voctors would be but Brazil never gave up. Both teams faught for their dreams but there could only be one winner.
