The best way of summing up Brazil's performance is that they were about as much good tonight as the England cricket team were during last winter's Ashes series.

No, they were worse than that.


It was an utterly shameful performance by an ordinary Brazil team (without their two best players) against a very good (but not great) Germany team.


'Big' Phil will presumably now throw himself under the proverbial bus. And he should do because of his blind loyalty to crap players such as Fred.


I said before the match that Scolari would adopt a 'false nine' approach because he was left with no recognised striker. How right I was.


I am still amazed how Lucas (the PSG one, not the Dippers one) couldn't get into this team.

Go on the Daily Phail website and look at the Fred heat map. It's utter genius.

Apart from anything it's good to see Brazil getting hammered if only because they have stupid names. Does anyone know where this tradition comes from? For example, 'Fred' is called Frederico Chaves Guedes, so why not have Guedes on the team sheet?

Do you know what the best bit is? Seeing the dejected faces of the fawning pundits who actually seem to genuinely believe their own bullsh*t over Brazil. There's only ever been one truly great Brazilian side and that was back in 1970. The constant bigging them up has always baffled me. This has been coming and I am absolutely LOVING the fallout.

Hopefully the vile Argies suffer a similar fate tonight.

Seeing them get hammered would be too much to hope for. But I always live in hope.

I don't know Matty - might only be one great side in there but I'd settle for having won the world cup 5 times rather than once (with a dodgy goal and another that would never stand now - pitch invader and the goal stands!)


This Brazil team has not been great, and having lost their talisman turned into a shambles last night.


Wouldn't be suprised to see Germany NOT WIN the final.

They cant blame the absence of Neymar (who is overrated anyway), but perhaps the suspension of Silva in defence was significant.


Fair play to the Brazil fans for not rioting or setting fire to the stadium. I was half expecting something like that but I think deep down, even they realised this team was shite and were lucky to make it to the semis

A Germany v Argentina final !  I would want them both to **** each other over.  And what a shite final that was in 1990.


This German [censored]fest I am reading on the t'interweb these days is worrying me, come on we don't want zee Germans to win, watching the Germans win is like watching someone punch a kitten in the face. 


I could never support Germany or Scotland at international level and Argentina are very borderline also.


I want the Dutch to finally get over the line at the 4th attempt and it would be fitting to do that against zee Germans who beat them in the final in 74.

Indeed, I would love to see the Argies get smashed 


 


The 1982 Brazil side wasn't a bad one by the way, one of the best sides not to win the world cup. Socrates, Zico, Falcao...... I agree that the 1970 side was the only great one and the greatest in history. If the Dutch had won the WC in 1974 they could have come close to the Brazil 1970 side for greatness, but they **** it up as usual
