Wow! Wow! Wow! Where do I start?
This has been an unbelievable World Cup on so many levels – but this was an extraordinary match the likes of which we have never seen before.
In the yellow corner, without their injured hero Neymar and suspended skipper Thiago Silva, this was the worst Brazilian team we have seen in the history of this proud nation.
But take nothing away from the Germans because they were awesome. Ruthless in their demolition of opponents who collapsed in embarrassment. Take nothing away from Joachim Loew’s side who in one six minute spell smashed home four glorious goals.
This was the biggest humiliation Brazil have ever experienced. Even more humbling than the the shame of the “Maracanasa” when they were beaten in the final by South American rivals Uruguay when they last hosted the world cup 54 years ago.
But how good is this German team? Only after Sunday’s final against Holland or Argentina will we truly be able to judge this team. Meantime this was the day a Brazilian dream was exposed as pure fantasy by the most spectacular win in German history.
