OT - World Cup Semifinal #1 GER v. BRA, ESPN, 3:00pm CDT
Germany, now you're just being mean.
Germany was listening to us
Seven to Zero
terrible for Brazil now. Their whole national identity is tied to soccer.
They won't forget this forever.
And the extra point is good.
I was going to say any football game, but then the answer is "every Superbowl ever except two or three", but what about college football blowouts? Involving Michigan?
34-8 over PSU in '97? I wasn't that shocked... PSU was badly overrated.
Oregon blows us out 39-7in Big House in '07 a week after The Horror? Maybe.
Non-Michigan: I thought USC's 55-19 blowout of OU in the Orange Bowl/Natty Championship was pretty shocking at the time.
Others?
This would be like the '05 USC dynasty losing 70-0 at home. 7-0 isn't just losing, it's a historic beatdown
'97 PSU is a good one. I thought we were better than them, but not that much better. Likewise, I thought Germany would win today, but certainly not like this.
Never mind. You said college, not all football. I have nothing.
I cannot believe this is happening.
How often do soccer games end with a team winning by 7? Much less Brazil at home in a world cup semi. Nearly unbelievable
Brazil is now -1 in goal difference (10 scored, 11 given up) for this World Cup thanks to this game. Unreal.
they don't need to give the Germans more time to score
Germany should take a knee next.
that the graphic on the screen has to scroll down to show them all
The magic Magyars featured Puscas.
Poor Neymar's got to feel horrible watching this.
True enough, but Silva probably feels worse - especially because his yellow against Colombia was due to an unsporting move that did nothing to help Brazil. Neymar didn't really do anything to feel guilty about.
Not that he'd feel guilty - it's just got to suck to watch your team completely fold without you.
think about how valuable that makes you look. Wonder if he brings this up next time his pro contract is up for renegotiation...
And easy to say after seeing the game but Silva's absence hurt much more.
Goal!!! whooooo!!!... guys!, guys!??
good for Brazil
OSCARRRR WOOOO!!!! DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK BITCHES. THEY WAS HERE DA WHOLE TIME
Oscar at least saves the home team the humiliation of a clean sheet. (Not that they'll run out of humiliation anytime soon.)
Well that was enjoyable.
Could not watch, but had a friend in Germany sending me e-mails periodically.
How did the crowd react to Oscar's late goal? True appreciation? Derision? Something else?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Loud (Bronx?) cheer for about two seconds, then silence. The crowd did chant "Bra-sil!" a few moments later.
I bet they were wasted by then.
Brazilian fans actually applauded the Germans 7th goal due to quality.
Wow. This game...
How are they (per the PA announcement) going to "escort" 10,000 German fans out of there?
10,000 German fans AND the Brazilian team/coaches etc.

the 2nd half too, 2-1
NOW it's like Michigan's 34-8 '97 win over PSU on "Judgment Day." We were up 34-0 and I remember how pissed I was that PSU got on the board at the very end to screw up the masterpiece. Anyway, that final score probably doesn't scale to 7-1. Maybe if we'd won 70-8.
The bizarre thing about this to me is that I always thought you could just go down to any street corner in Brazil, pick out the first 11 Brazillians you see, put jerseys on them and you'll have a team that can compete. Kinda like I thought you could just put Michigan uniforms on 5 300-lb. dudes and have them block for positive rushing yards. I learned otherwise recently.
Germany the Alabama of Soccer. I hate them, but much respect!
Germany totally oversigns, right?
Brazil got SEC'd.
Well you will never see that again. Home team, considered top 5 team in the world, absolutely decimated. Shows you how much emotion plays in the game even at this level - the Brazilians mentally gave up after the 2nd goal it seemed.
