    Great stuff, lucky they didn't have that team in a challenging group or they'd have been home before the 2nd Round!

    Gut gemacht Deutschland!

    :rotfl::rotfl:yes!! SIDESHOW BOB!! (always wondered who he reminded me of)
    I was gobsmacked at the end i didnt move or take my eyes of the tv, it was weird?
    But after all it was the biggest defeat ever in a semi final, and brazils first defeat in 62 on home soil, and im sure many more other records, like kloos? 16 world cup goals, taking brazils 'ronaldo' record (oh what a bad bad day at the office for brazil)
    Even England werent that bad FOR ONCE!!!
    Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:

    Slightly stunned by this result. But, to be fair, Brazil have had it coming because they are crap. Take Neymar, Silva and officials protecting them to the point the rest of the world now challenged them over this out of the equation and they are without doubt THE worst Brazilian team in their history. They fouled and cheated their way this far with the odd glimse of talent from Neymar and one wonder strike from Luiz (who has to be the world worst 'expensive' defender). Nonetheless, 7-1 is stunning and if Germany had decided to step it up a gear (as they looked like they didn't get out of 2nd gear) then realistically 7-1 flattered Brazil as it could easily have been double figures.

    No-one saw this one coming!

    Loved watching this game - Brazil been mediocre throughout the tournament - got their just rewards tonight. Germany tactically brilliant and a decent ref to boot.

    Same again tomorrow - come on Holland!

    Wow - that was indeed a great game last night! Just catching up on everyone's comments on Germany and Brazil :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Have been on hol in Cornwall for past week and not back til Sunday, but thankfully can get intermittent connection via yoghurt pot, wind blowing the right way, a wing and a prayer!

    Can't wait for tonight's game either - come on Holland!! :D It won't stand up against the German goal fest/ Brazil drubbing last night, but hoping for some skillful football and not too much dramatic diving to gain an unfair advantage (I''m sure we all know who I mean!!)

    If it is a Germany-Holland final it is going to be a bloodbath, both hate each other so much that both will be out to humiliate the other.

    You're right about the wind blowing in the right direction. We often go to the Lakes and it seriously depends on which way the wind blows as to whether I can get an internet connection. I haven't tried the yoghurt pot though, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a whirl.
    ....... not too much dramatic diving to gain an unfair advantage (I''m sure we all know who I mean!!)
    More to the point...the ref needs to yellow and then red card him. His diving has been ridiculous and I am staggered he's got away with it all tournament. He's the reason I don't like Holland. I can turn a blind eye to the odd dive but when it's half a dozen or so dives each game...
