Primarily Brazil was so bad. I read that half of the passes in Brazil's penalty box connected. That's crazy. For at least five goals there was no defense in sight. Germany was frightenly eager though, and you still have to put them in the net.

I know it's a cliché, but they were frighteningly efficient too. According to the stats they didn't have that many opportunities, but they knew what to do with them. 10 shots on goal in total, 7 goals.
Just compare that to Belgium shooting 30 times at the US goal and scoring 2.
 
Robben to get a yellow for diving in the penalty box at minute 21

Robben to get second yellow for violent tackle at minute 41

Van Persie to injure himself in an attempt to knock out Messi, resulting in a trip to the hospital.

With only 9 men, Holland sees 4 goals scored on them in the last 20 minutes.

BELIEVE

'This sad Brazilian fan was shown crying. But no ones published this beautiful picture of him handing the trophy to a German fan. He was quoted as saying "Take it to the final! As you can see, it is not easy, but you deserve it, congratulations" '


Awwwwwwwwwww

I feel sorry for real fans, real supporters. :(
There is a die hard Brazilian supporter who wears yellow and green every day of the year and drives around in a yellow green car.

But I do not feel sorry for bandwaggon supporters though.
So many bandwagonners here from people whose team did not qualify so they bandwaggon onto Brazil like people who wear Yankees caps because its fashionnable.
 
There's a real chance we'll repeat the 1990 WC final, huh?

Dat nostalgia. Mexico '86 was my first WC, but Italia '90 was the first WC I was old enough to love.
 
If that man is at least 60 years old, he's been alive to see Brazil win the world cup 5 times, in 4 different continents. Really no need to feel bad for him.

I don't see what's bad about having compassion. It was a sad night for Brazilian football fans, regardless of past successes.
 
Greece would've totally destroyed Germany, right guys? Right?

Anyway, Germany is pretty much in shock right now. People over here will be so mad if they don't win this WC.


well, they did play in the quarterfinals of Euro 2012
Greece lost 4-2 but surprisingly managed to equalize 1-1 in the second half, before succumbing to 4-1.
at that match Karagounis didnt play due to an unjust yellow card previously against Russia, where he had scored the winner. Had he played, perhaps Greece might have pulled a surprise or at least have lost to overtime, like Turkey did in 2008.

That describes my dad, but he's been on the Brazil bandwagon for like 35 years. Does it still count as bandwagoning?

I sure hope so... I want revenge! also that world cup was the first one I can remember watching. Me being around 6 and seeing my dad so sad was tough :(
 
Rooting for the Dutch team. I'm looking forward to see them advancing into the final and teach the Germans a lesson of their lives.
