@Abs Babs Probably because they already showed the world they have the power to win a World Cup and they don't have to prove otherwise. Pretty sure that's also why 4 of the 5 most recent winners have all been knocked out in the group stages apart from France.
Not only did Germany humiliate Brazil in their own home turf in a world cup but miroslav klose broke Brazil Ronaldos goal record, that's just kicking a dead horse
And blocked Brazil from playing at their traditional home for the entirety of the tournament. While Brasilia is the capital of Brazil, the national team has always called the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro their spiritual home (they played in Brasilia twice, Belo Horizonte twice (this is one of them), Fortaleza twice, and once in São Paulo).
@Alanood Alhameli they were on some flu and yeah but they played Hella well beast mode, in finals they conked off otherwise they had clear chances of winning, could beat brail
3:51 I remember when they showed this grandfather, I almost cried. He was holding that trophy so tightly that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. He certainly wasn't prepared for such a failure.
@Altervation Welp, even if it wasn't Brazil who did it, i hope that guy's happy that at least, their neighbors and rivals since birth can hold it up...
@Mr Samehhe isn’t a random man, he is a famous fan that would always hold a replica of the World Cup throphy, he did this since somewhere in the 1990s I think, and he did actually die from cancer, and his sons did go to Qatar and bring the trophy to honor him
This was edited into this replay, as the shot of the older gentleman clutching his replica World Cup trophy was definitely not shown on the original/live World Cup broadcast after the second goal. Helm said "tears from Brazilian supporters already" after the shot of that woman's face immediately before 3:51. Same with the third goal - 3:58 to about 5:00 was exactly what was shown on the live broadcast, along with John Helm's commentary. The shot of Thiago Silva watching on at 5:04 was not shown in the original live broadcast after the third goal, and like 3:51, looks to be a transitional edit made by FIFA for the purposes of this match recap.
this was the team that could beat anyone. It has grown smarter and more mature over the years. The best team germany has ever had. I will never forget that
@Patricio Flores Difilipo calm down. Germans say you deserved 2022 WC. But 2014 is ours. All happened is happened. We don't say in 2022 has too many wrong penalties
I’ve never seen such amazing futbol, the team dynamic, unselfishness, and lack of egos is profound. It felt like no one cared who scored the goal, they just made all the right passes, absolutely breathtaking. You see players today trying to go 1 on 1, taking difficult shots, caring more for individual accolades than team success. This Germany team was legendary and for them to do this in a quarter finals match is the cherry on top.
What a match this was. I remember going to the kitchen to get myself a drink, coming back and Germany being two goals up. Insane. Edit to elaborate - I missed the Klose and the first Kroos goal.
I felt so sorry for Brazil that time - they got absolutely smashed by Germany - Got smashed at their own World Cup - Klose broke Ronaldos record - Germany broke Brazils all time World Cup goal record in 26 minutes 😂
@Miya Lee Tbh 2018 Belgium was a great squad with Hazard, De bruyne , Lukaku and courtois in their best possible form. Unlucky that they met the better French squad else they deserved to win that world cup. The loss against Croatia was the worse one.
Absoletely. I think everytime Brazil lose, their players must be watching this game again aswell so they could console themselves (at least we didnt lose this bad) .
I remember watching this live, and being completely astonished with what I was seeing. Germany just blew them away. Neuer was immense in that WC. He was unbeatable at times. You saw that in this match. In the 2nd half, I felt that Germany took their foot off of the gas. Even then there were chances for Germany. Had they pushed the ball as they did in the first half, they could've doubled their first half goals.
One of those "you remember where you were" moments. My friend who knows soccer told me Germany had the edge....his face watching, something I'll never forget
@Excalibur Sword it doesn't matter. everyone knows what it means. if you say football for soccer in america it just sounds like you're forcing it. people can say what they want to
The Germans during their prime years. The passing back and forth. They would take their time to score a goal The majority of the time. Speed and skill is what made them so dangerous in that world cup.
In my humble opinion, the 2022 World Cup Final is the only world cup match in the same league as this. These two games are different levels of quality altogether
I’m Australian and I remember watching this game early in the morning. My father was getting ready for work and I remember yelling at him that Germany had scored their 4th goal and he came running as he was being ready for work. He’d only left the room for 2 minutes
I remember sitting in my basement at age 9 watching this game live. Absolutely blew my mind, it is what got me into soccer. Still remember it 8 years later.
@Jeet the Brits called it soccer first, it's an abbreviation of association football that we Americans adopted to refer to the exact same sport, because it just so happens we enjoy a different code of football that is more popular here. Idk why it's a big deal
@Malte. I agree hahahah. Still, the Khedira Goal made me laugh only for that Slide Kick. That was phenomenal in terms of tactics and risk taking. The First Goal I thought was just a No Chance scenario. Brazil literally left Muller open for a free goal. Where was the Defense?
The first one was funny too because it was the easiest goal to score from a corner I’ve ever seen. Even Muller was probably like "How did this happen?"
I remember this game so much. I was dating a Brazilian girl, after this game she cried so much that was the time I realised, it’s more than just football for Brazil.
tbh I'd be annoyed to see a team play this badly in a demi final of a world cup too, it's not just about winning I want to see struggles and challenges, here there's just nothing... the difference in skill level is nuts, germany wiped the floor with them
@Nature Lover loosing to asian team is not a big deal. Loosing 7-1 in semi finals at home is the worst. After WC people remember champions and the teams which loose in big margin like 7-1
@Milo Kat German team is at an all time low losing to Asian teams like SK and Japan. Not even able to qualify from the group stages.Meanwhile German football fans are still stuck in 2014.
@Nature Lover reaching quarters won't get any trophy. Winning trophy matters. Germany won in 2014 and Brazil still getting knocked out against Europeans in knockouts from 2006.
At around 6:40 I wonder what Scolari was actually saying. At that point the team had completely crumbled and conceded four in ten minutes only a quarter of the way through, I just can’t imagine what he would have to say.
Futbal bude vždy týmová hra. Neviem čo sa tu stalo, ale je zrejmé, že niekde to nefungovalo. Je mi ľúto Brazílie, takáto potupa a doma sa bude ťahať storočie. Strašne by som chcel vedieť čo sa stalo? Nemci mali dobrý tím, ale aj Brazília. Jednoducho neviem prečo sa toto stalo.
Fun fact : at half-time the Germany manager told them to slow down at the second half but a hurdle was at the toilet so that’s how he scored the two goals
@BCC0495 Yes, there was no reason for them not to go complete 100% as they'll be fatigued in the final. Although in the 2nd half, if it wasn't for Neuer, Germany could've easily conceded maybe 3 or 4 as well as it happened against Sweden.
Watch your mouth....wishing others evil will come back to haunt you. Karma baby!! Nothing to play with!! May the law of karma take care of you and your evilness.
Ich frage mich ob die Jungs oder einer der Jungs sich dieses Spiel mal wieder anschauen als Inspiration, taktisch nochmal genau so zu spielen, wie damals… das war einfach über krass.
How things have changed. Germany now out in 2 World Cups in the group stage… in a row. It’s still nuts looking back on this, definitely my most vivid memory of football.
@Joao Rodrigues Brazil was under HUGE pressure. They were even receiving threats to win or get their "butts kicked". And the Germans knew that and kept scoring one goal after the other while watching little innocent children cry in the stadium. This is disrespectfull!! Not celebrating goals like the Brazilians did in the game they played with South Korea. I would say the Brazilians were more respectful with South Koreans. If Brazil wanted to they could have scored 10 goals in the game! Notice how they slowed down in the second half?? They did it out of respect!
Notice how selfless the germans play. Team above everyone. They don't have any ego maniacs trying to take all the glory. This was one of the best teams ever to play tournament football.
@RyanStecken very likely. 7-1 is far from 1-0. Look at how France 2006 relied on Zidane, the 1 player, and too many ppl have commented that France's far advance in 2006 was thanks to him.
Captaincy was the biggest problem in 2018 and 2022 I think....after 2014 nuer was out of the team for most of the 4 years for injuries when the team was doing great without him and with a newer captain and then he shows up and got selected as captain for just being a senior player with no concept to lead a team or to perform in a world tournament....he got older the replacement goalkeeper is way better than him but again he is the captain..whole blame goes to the german soccer management team
I refuse to believe that the Germans couldn't score more than 7, I think that they went easy on Brazil, and that Neuer deliberately let Oscar score. Also, at 12:25, Özil deliberately let go... he is not someone to miss an empty goalpost from the penalty box.
Yes! Actually, Löw gathered the Germans for a small meeting in the dressing room during halftime, he told them if they had kept scoring, it'd be a total humiliation for the Brazilians, and so he told them to go easy on Brazil. Schurrle, which, was using the bathroom during the meeting, had no clue about it, hence, he was the only German to score in the second half.
@kurukshetra war Just watch the 2010 match Germany vs Argentina you'll see why Germany was expected to win and deserved it most!!! Spoiler Germany won 4-0 even though the great Messi played the whole match and did nothing! not even scored a goal to save his team from such humilliating loss. Since then Messi was nicknamed Pecho Frío Messi, Fressi "cold Chest Messi" but was forgiven after winning the world cup last year.
@kurukshetra war Argentina was so not the most deserving! It's the champions of that world cup Germany! Germany defeated all the most difficult teams! France, Brazil, Argentina, Argelia, Portugal and only one draw against Hungary a very difucult team to defeat. Argentina defeated Netherlands with much difficulty by penalties the only way Argentina can beat Netherlands same happened in 2022. Besides Germany always beats Argentina since 1990 It's not a surprise Germany won!!! Most people expected Germany to win that final.
@Fabian Huber la final q los argentinos realmente sufrimos pero que pudimos sanar con la copa del mundo 2022 ⭐⭐⭐ De todas formas Alemania fue un gran equipo en 2014, nosé q les paso en 2018 y 2022 para terminar de tal manera. Una pena q un rival tan histórico haya quedado en el camino. Por otro lado, acá en Argentina también es uno de los partidos más famosos de los últimos años. Aunque nunca me pondría a discutir con nuestros hermanos brasileños, en mí humilde opinión siguen siendo los reyes del fútbol a lo largo de la historia, y nosotros tenemos un fanatismo de proporciones gigantescas. Ambos países tenemos leyendas en la historia del fútbol, Sudamérica es la cuna de muchos héroes en la historia del fútbol, aunque si admito q Alemania siempre ha sido un dolor de cabeza para los países americanos
@Krishna Widardjo Lots of people left early. I was watching the game in a bar across my home and even there people were just up and leaving, lol. Had never seen something like this in my life.
Brazil lost in midfield. Germany midfield: Ozil, Sweinstiger, Sami Khedira and Tony Kroos Brazil Midfield: Oscar. Plus Neuer, Lam, Boatsng, & Hummels at defending and Closa and muller at striking
