This world cup has been so full of surprises, but nobody could have seen this one coming.  Although Brazil have been poor by their high standards and they have been awful in defence in this tournament, they were doing what champions elect tend to do, they were winning games but not playing well.  I had a feeling the German's were going to win last night but nowhere near as comfortably as they did.  As poor as the Brazilian were, the German's were at their most efficient and clinical best, they just didn't take any prisoners.   I have never witnessed Brazil being so outclassed by another team in all the years I have been watching world cup football.  The closest I have seen to an embarrassing defeat  involving a Brazil team was when the great Brazilian side of 1982 went 1-0 down to tiny Scotland in a first round group game.  I remember Dundee United player David Narey scoring the opening goal and the Scots going absolutely ballistic, I also remember the headlines of the paper the next day stating that "Narey Rocks Brazil", well he may of rocked them but within minutes the class showed and the Samba boys turned the game on its head and romped home as 4-1 winners, I remember Zico scored an overhead kick in that game.  

Last nights result though was completely and utterly embarrassing,  to be beaten in your own country for the first time in 62 games is bad enough but to have that record ended by such a humiliating scoreline must have been cringe-worthy for the loyal Brazilian fans.  It's a defeat that I think will be so hard to take for some of these Brazilian players and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the under-performing flops of this campaign never put on the famous yellow shirt ever again.  The likes of Fred who was booed off the pitch in the second half must be expecting the worst as other than the one goal he scored he has contributed absolutely nothing.

As for Germany my girlfriend has got them in the sweep-stake. at work so she is guaranteed £30, £50 if the win.  Never thought I would be rooting for the German's but after last night's performance there is only one winner in my eyes.

Here is a little montage of events from last night.
