The 2014 World Cup produced a semi-final that nobody will ever forget. “The night Germany removed the crown from football royalty”, The Athletic’s Daniel Taylor wrote in his match report describing the way Germany scored 7 goals past Brazil.
It was the game that reduced an entire country to tears, as described by Seb Stafford-Bloor, illustrated by Marco Bevilacqua.

Fun fact: The Brazil-Argentina rivalry is so intense that despite this humiliation at their hands, Brazilian fans still went to cheer for Germany in the final
and how they were rewarded!
Nah it was more to do with how the Germans conducted themselves during and after the match. The German players didn’t celebrate excessively and the Brazilian fans appreciated that, so they started cheering for them as well. They also said in the press conference afterwards that they didn’t want to humiliate Brazil, gaining further support from Brazilians
@@AndorranStairway Funny how the Brazilians always celebrate ecstatically even after winning 1-0
@@Bakedomlette6482 uh. Don’t all teams do that?
@@AndorranStairway No. Not like the South Americans. Europeans except England are way more respectful towards their opponents.
As a Brazilian, the day after 7-1 was one of the weirdest days. People were still in disbelief of what had happened. It felt like everyone had lost a loved one the day before, I can’t remember a single smile on the street. People underestimate the national disaster it was. We will never forget this day
lol get rekt
I imagine this must have been how people alive back then felt about the Maracanaço. It's crazy to think that losing a final at home as heavy favorites would end up as our second most embarrassing moment in World Cups.
I was telling my pops “imagine how it must have felt in Brazil”. I know how important football is to you guys. I have a feeling this is going to be your guys’ year

I'm brazilian and confirm that
When the German Coach talked to his team at the locker room during half time, was the most humiliating part. Because he knew they could easily go on until 12-0 😂
Should’ve tbh. As a neutral
It would’ve been amazing lol
I think they could've, but they chose to save their energy for the final
The coach asked them to save energy for the final and also to not be too flairy
I honestly think if it didn’t take place in Brazil, they would’ve done it
They should have gone for it, Brazilians still brag about their dinosaur years world cups, literally nobody cares if you won WC in the 60s bro stop trying to brag about it only makes you look pathetic trying to hold on to old glory 💀💀
It really was one of the most brutal if not the most brutal things I’ve ever witnessed in sports
It was unbelievable
Spain has more GD vs Costa Rica. But this match is arguably more brutal knowing they are the host.
@@arahaitham123 dude Costa Rica has maybe qualified for 5 WCs. Brazil have won 5 World Cups. Don’t even begin to compare the two lmao
@@arahaitham123 this is the worst and most ignorant comparison of all time, lmaooo
@@arahaitham123 can’t compare the two. Brazil, a legendary footballing nation humbled in their own backyard by a team that (on paper) they were capable of going toe to toe with. It was the most humiliating moment in World Cup history and probably football history 🥲
Who remember the old man clutching the cup absolutely devastated? Still brings tears to my eyes.
well im from eastern europe and i cheered for germany, so no tears from me, at around 0-4 0 -5 i laughed, at around 0-6 0-7 i though this is some kind of diferent reality :D but then i saw who is in defence dante + luiz and everything made sense. but i agree that old man with fifa cup was sad to watch, his reaction really was true, other crying or in disbelief, that guy was devastated
he died btw. Just to twist the knife
I remember him, also that kid that cried into his coca-cola
Gaúcho da Copa is how he was knew. His sons are at Qatar
There was a picture of him after the match where he gives the trophy to a German fan and is smiling so he wasn't too distraught. Also he probably watched Brazil win like 3 world cups in his life.
I have been told by a Brazillian friend that this day was so dark in Brazillian history that "it another 7-1 day" has become a phrase used by Brazilians if they're having a bad day...
Yup! It's used until today and probably will be for at least a decade
@@leogama3422 not for a decade. For entire history.
Still not match to 2020
Brazilian here, and this is a lie! You do not have a Brazilian friend! Ayrton Senna Death was the darkest day of Brazilian Contemporary History, millions of time ahead of this!
That's correct, sir. Your friend is not lying. I'd just add that not only in this context that this expression is used; it also used when we want to criticize the country for being outperformed by other countries in other areas much more important than footbal.
Its a German tradition to watch at least the highlights from time to time again when you’re sad or need something to smile and laugh
istg that is soooo true
That's sooooo truuuuuuue
I watch it at least 2 times every month, respect to Brazil though its not about you it just we're happy about the performance and love to remember that godly generation
Heute ist einer dieser Tage 🤗
I remember watching klose making the second goal walking into the other room where the game was also playing and watching the third goal thinking it was a replay.
I was at work and when that goal came I ran to tell a friend and when we came back to see the score was up by one more.
We called another friend and when we turned to look the Germans had scored another goal. It was incredible
I thought Kroos's 2nd goal was a replay. He was celebrating while the commentators were still talking about the 3rd goal and then he started running for the 4th while the cameras were still on him. It was surreal!! I was seeing what was happening but my brain couldn't process it.
@@2693742yep the transmition almost lost that goal. It was surreal.
Similar thing happened to m, when I was watching the game with my family, I took a quick bathroom break after the second goal; when I came back down, the score was up by two more, I thought I had gone senile
Your house is very big because 2nd and 3rd goal aren't THAT close to each other, 3rd and 4th goal tho
That Semi-Final was a bucket of *COLD WATER* for the entire Brazilian nation. They somehow created an aura of must-win and never lose at home soil and got punished for that. It makes the 1950 Uruguay loss (which prior to the 7-1 was considered a disaster) now a distant memory and the 2014 disaster will be haunting Brazil for decades to come. Hopefully that will make Brazil an even more competitive footballing nation.
Uh I think the the 1950 Uruguay game is a distant memory with or without the brazil 7-1 humiliation
I've seen Brazilians claim that 1950 is worse than 7-1 . There were reports of a kid crying in a corner in the stadium days after the loss in 1950
People killed themselves after the loss to Uruguay in 1950
@@patrickdavies9790 it's insane how people were willing to end their lives because their country lost the final on home soil.
@@fishyfish6510 The thing is that that is more of a reflection of how fanatical brazilians were back then when it comes to football.
Also, the 7-1 being such a ridiculous and bizarrely high number makes it seem almost “comical”, like it makes you think we never had any chance whatsoever to begin with. The Uruguay 2-1 in a way is more frustrating because you lost by such a small margin, kinda like when you fail a test just by one point. At this point, I think it has been stablished that Brazil is a much better away team than local; the two times we’ve hosted the WC we’ve had our two biggest upsets by far, and at a south american level both Argentina and Uruguay have more trophies.
I remember waking up for this game very early morning and watching in a hostel bar in Australia with a bunch of other equally groggy travellers; the tiredness only made the experience more surreal. That first half was the most disorienting 45 minutes of football I’ve seen. I didn’t feel any excitement or joy you normally feel with these crazy scorelines, this game felt different. An utterly cold, austere, and unforgiving display of football from the Germans. This game will never be forgotten.
The Germans should've sat back after scoring 3 goals... instead, they mercilessly scored 4 more goals.
@@nightprowler6336 You don't "sit back" in a semi-final game of the world cup. There have been games where a team lead 3:0, then still lost 3:4. Why would you blame the Germans for the utter incompetence of the Brazilian Team? It was compassionate enough for Jogi Löw to tell the team to slow down, after the first half.
They should have danced for each goal. I guess they too focused on scoring .
The team had an emotional collapse after 2x0 and didn't recover. They couldn't hold the pressure of playing without Neymar and losing at home. Poor kids
@@nightprowler6336 That would be the normal reaction from a team respecting their opponents, but maybe they sensed the weakness there... Maybe this is why the coach was talking to them to hold on a little, like they were showing no mercy... German people can be cruel, I suppose, cold, in a crude way. And maybe him talking was more being afraid of the reaction of the Brazilian people more than anything, specially on the stadium, rather than just "showing respect", maybe he was fearing for their lives lmao. It's no news here for people to trash stadiums because of bad loses, it's kinda sad and barbaric, but people are this passionate about football here, or at least were, before the 7x1. It truly changed a lot for a lot of people in Brazil
I'll never forget at 4-0, the TV announcer yelling "THIS IS TURNING INTO AN ABSOLUTE ROUTE" 🤣🤣
The announcer in Australia declared after the 5th goal (I think it was) that "if this were a boxing match the referee would stop the fight as Brazil are unable to defend themselves."
I remember an english commentator saying at the last goal: "Oscar scored the most pointless goal in World Cup history".
and after the Khedira goal it was just a Karnivale of win for global football, the only true loss of the tournament was that James Rodriguez was not in the finals because of a cheapskate brasil team that got EXACTLY what it deserved, when liars and cheats are allows to pass through to then have to face an unwavering true team they get schooled. Brasil will never again win a world cup, keep the clowns in your favelas.
Probably the most famous scoreline in sports history.
Next to 8 - 2 Bayern vs Barcelona
Infamous^
@@sachiosulaiman8700 There are lots of thrashings in UCL 7-0, 8-0 aren't that rare.
But to lose 7-1 in your own backyard is a whole different ball game.
@@sachiosulaiman8700 Who cares
@@engineer_yulan good point tho
this game fascinates me as an American. The 2014 World Cup is the first one I fully remember, and this seemed so shocking at the time that the game didn't even make sense. This has always been my lasting memory of this World Cup, even with a final that was as good as it was.
It was at a time when the top teams realized that instead of going slow after 1-0, you could just repeat what you were doing and exploit the same gaps, if the other team is not changing what they were doing wrong. A couple of Premier League and Champions League games went 0-3 with repeating identical attacks in half an hour as well.
@@eljanrimsa5843 exactly find a who and keep exploiting it. Iran did it against Wales a long ball down the right was cutting them to shreds.
Im not brazillian but was a massive brazil supporter back in 2014 cheering for then from home. I remember the midnight when i had fallen asleep, my dad waked me up to show the scoreboard at 85 mins.
0 - 7
I was shattered and filled with complete disbelief as I just saw the weary Brazil team dragging themselves on the field lifelessly. An absolute shock that left me not cheering or rooting for any team for the rest of the world cups.
@@eljanrimsa5843yeah and the usa just gave up 3 goals to this strategy. damn…
@@eljanrimsa5843 this is what the USA has to learn today. We sat back after scoring against Wales and it cost us, and it nearly cost us against Iran.
The German team that destroyed Brazil and kept Messi from getting a World Cup 💯
They really built on what they achieved in 2010
Coming from a Bazilian, we'll always be grateful for the second one XD
And got grouped twice 😭😭
German Golden Generation 👌👌
@@Grandsuno warra "we crossed group stage" trophy for Brazil
1:23 "Enter the Germans" sent shivers down my spine
As a German myself, most of the time that sentence is said in context of history or politics it is the moment when things start to get interesting
As a german it seems almost ironical to then go out in 2 consecutive group stages after that WC in 2014. It's almost like we're paying double the price for humiliating the gods on their holy ground. Looking back it's actually the 2nd to last game we really we're as good as expected. And that was 8 years ago
Germany back in that era were scary, almost like machines. These days they are worryingly close to falling out of the top tier of international teams, a bit like Belgium
You done your job now you can rest for a while 😉
@@allcoolmrdon Italy won in 2006 and haven't been great since, though they did win the Euros so they are on their way back.
germany actually deserved that 2014 wc
they were runner ups in 2002 wc, 3rd place in 2006 wc, runner ups at 2008 euros, 3rd place in 2010 wc and semi finalists in 2012 euros they had a talented squad but missing that one damn trophy
but yeah it's really ironical because germans were beasts even after that 2014 wc win they were semi finalists in 2016 euros and champions of 2017 confederations cup but finished last in their group in 2018
This aged like milk
As a brazilian, this game still hits home.
I was 14 and couldn't even fully comprenhend the impact this game would have. We were in the middle of a political conflict, people were going into the streets asking for the WC not to happen due to the huge money that was spent on football stadiums that are not being used today. Ronaldo fenomeno said "The WC is not made with hospitals". It was a mess, and ended up in the impeachment of our president 2 years later. Even though it all, people were confident in winning the WC, we weren't amazing, but were getting through. Then Neymar got hurt in a unecessarily strong tackle. (There was already a rivalry with Colombia, it got worse).
Without Neymar and Thiago Silva our chances weren't great, but to concede 7 goals at home, in front of all the brazilian people was not ever thought of.
Then, the 7x1 came. Before this, the Maracanazo was our worst moment in international football. But losing on penalties against Uruguay at home was not comparable to this.
To top it all up, Argentina got to the finals, and if they had won it, the humiliation would be even bigger. It was huge already with the goals, but then Klose broke Ronaldo's record and Argentina got to the finals, and it could have been worse still. It's a disaster.
As Tite said, the 7x1 is still looming on the back of our minds.
We are creative people, and to deal with this, people starting making memes with the phrase "everyday there's a different 7x1" (todo dia um 7x1 diferente), showing situations where it was not good, but then it got worse.
As a collective, we began to laugh of it as a way to deal with it.
Thanks for this perspective! Muito interessante!
O Brasil não perdeu nos penaltis contra o Uruguai em 1950 como disseste no teu comentário.
O jogo terminou empatado, um resultado que chegava ao Uruguai para ser campeão, uma vez que o torneio se decidiu num grupo com 4 equipas ao invés de uma final.
@@fagnercadete9189ya, erro meu.
Sabia que não tinha sido penalties, mas pensava que tinha sido empate, e que o empate chegava ao Uruguai.
German here: This was the most unbelievable game I ever watched.
We on that couch thaught at least at two goals we were watching a replay.
I remember leaving the room after Klose's goal to receive a phone call and coming back to find Germany 4 goals a head after only 5 minutes later.
No matter what country you were watching from (USA here), this was a jaw-dropping match that left you wondering how Scolari (an experienced coach) could allow his squad to be repeatedly hit by Germany's counterattacks. Argentina's tactics were surely informed by this stunning result; they played more conservatively and kept it scoreless until Goetze's terrific winner.
Brazilian here. I remember that I was very confident about that game and I was hoping that Brazil would win without Klose scoring another goal (so that he didn't break Ronaldo's record). And just a few minutes into the game I told my family "I don't think we are winning this" and went to the bathroom. The moment I stepped out, I can still remember, 3-0 and everyone in disbelief lol Honestly, I have always been very critical of the national team past 2010 and always thought we needed a "reality check", as in, "the world is catching up to us, you can't win with just talent anymore", but never once in my life I thought we would lose 7-1, at home, and with Klose smashing Ronaldo's record. The funniest part was, I was rooting for Germany in the finals since Argentina winning here would be even more humiliating, Uruguay was enough lol
As a Chelsea fan at the Time I remember thinking the you guys were doomed with just David Luiz in Defense He became disciplined after 2015 before that he always used to gamble and break formation to wildly run out of defense.
That first half will forever be the most unbelievable 45 minutes I ever see in football. It's not mere peak German domination, it's not just destroying Brazil, it's battering them IN Brazil at an actual World Cup semi-final. I felt the home nation would struggle without Neymar, but the actual gulf was beyond staggering.
I was watching with friends in berlin - obviously rooting for germany, hoping for a win. but after 3:0, when more and more goals came we weren't really able to to celebrate anymore it was too much! i also felt pity for the brazilians, they were from child's days always my favourite other nation, having brought so many legends onto the world stage.
"This match became a funeral" 😭😂
i'd never feel bad for battering teams like Brazil who are always favorites, I feel more sympathy when teams like Costa Rica, Malta or South Korea get battered
The main reason Brazil lost so badly was because they held a funeral for Neymar before the game.
It was psychological suicide and they had already lost the game by then.
Very, very true. Germany was WAY better ? Yes. But that was "uncalled for". Brazil got psychologically affected by Neymar's injure.
Exactly!!
Their captain Thiago Silva was suspended as well and they looked absolutely dreadful in defense against the high pressing wide game of the German team.
@@SuperCacazinho as a German fan I agree with neymar and Silva we still would have won but it would have been much worse like 4-3 or 2-1 ,but it's still no excuse look at Portugal for example in the 2016 euro final , without there star and captain cr7 they still went on to win the world cup against a very hungry french side
Now..Germany is reduced from their prime to mediocre ever since they lost to Japan during the round 16 of Qatar 2022. It’s almost as if it’s revenge for Brazil and every national team who played them.
I show the first 4 goals to my (German) youth team sometimes. They are a masterclass of selflessness and cooperation.
I’m sometimes annoyed by the focus on individual players that is so common these days, football is and always will be a team sport.
One fan said what everyone didn't want to hear: "The problem was how the teams focused on the game. Brazil felt it was best to depend on Neymar, who couldn't even play! The Germans felt teamwork was the best strategy." Well, no wonder the score was so outrageously lopsided...
Looking back at that German team it is much more obvious what kind of players we were missing this year. Oddly enough as a German I do root for Brazil to take it home this year!
Number 1 : a goalscoring striker like Klose.
@@yao052 number 2: leaders like Lahm and Basti.
I wouldn't say Germany did much wrong this World Cup. In the last one, they weren't great. 2022 however, it's down to bad luck than anything else. Nobody expects Japan to beat both Germany and Spain. They didn't lose to Spain, and defeated Costa Rica as expected. The Germans being eliminated was disappointing for them, but by the last match, it wasn't within their control, they have done what's expected of them.
@@lc9245 Absolutely true. Being a german fan, it's definitely sad to be grouped but there's a lot of optimism for Euro 2024.
Spain, one of the better team in this WC, defeated costa rica , lost to japan and drew with germany.
Germany, got grouped, defeated costa rica, lost to japan and drew spain.
Spain 7-0 costa rica is the reason germany were grouped, alongside losing to japan.
Before Germany had Men. Now they play with kids.
The most unbelievable score line I have witnessed in my entire life.
I was 13 years old and living in India. The match was happening around 2 AM in my time and I had school next day, so obviously my parents didn't allow me to watch the game. The next morning , I heard people talking about the result and I absolutely refused to accept the result, the score line was simply unreal.
I agree as an Argentine fan 💀🤝
Same bruh. I was 12.
Feel sad for David Luiz. His career really went down after that one game.
it was a traumatic experience that broke him unfortunately
He was defensively suspect before this moment.
He did win 16/17 EPL with Chelsea as a regular starter
He was never that good
David Luiz tendency to abandon his defensive assignment for attacking opportunity was infamous before the World Cup. His value and drawback were very obvious before the defeat. It was never going to change his career trajectory anyway.
This is one of those games where everyone knows where they were when it happened
As a German who was in the Stadium back then this was glorious. The atmosphere after the first few goals for the whole game was breathtaking. I've never heard such a quite Stadium full of people. Me and my friends knew that we should be happy, and we were, but we almost felt more pity for the Brazilians.
I remember this game far too well. I was in Spain with my mother on holiday eating pasta, when Germany scored 1-0. During that tournament I rooted for Germany (I'm Finnish), so to say the least, I was content. After we finished our meals, we paid and left. As we were walking, I noticed the game going in a local seafood joint. It looked like 3-0, but I was quite sure that i saw it wrong, because the dirty, thick glass blurred the TV so much.
Nearby was a merry-go-around and I remember being in shock, when the carousel guy started cheering and yelling "4-0, 4-0" as loud as he could when Germany was scoring constantly. We were literally wondering what was going on. It was all really flabbergasting.
Eventually we went to a local British karaoke pub called "the Cavern" (in which we were regulars), and the owner and his girlfriend were really silent, only commenting on football. So were the customers. We all were confused on what was happening. Typically, that place was packed and a lot of people screaming, drinking and having fun, but that day, all were silent. It was like someone had been murdered or something. Eventually after a couple of songs (one of them I remember being Sweet Caroline) Steve (the owner) took the mic and said along the lines of:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I request for a minute of your silence, please? I would like to inform that today Germany has made history. They have beaten Brazil 7-1. A slaughter of our time. Thank you."
I remember that many people, us included gasped in shock. Even I, although I was content about the victory. To say the least, that was one of the oddest evenings I've ever witnessed. I still can remember everyone speaking about it in social media, news outlets and later in town. It was all so tough to comprehend that the world seemed to stop. I still get shivers thinking about that.
I’d say that game was the catalyst for the end of a few players careers. Julio Caesar was old, but he was a pretty legendary goalkeeper before that match, however I remember him slowly fading away after a year or two. Oscar, was a player reaching his prime in the World Cup, he was Brazil’s wonder kid after Neymar. But he went to China and stopped doing anything, I’m pretty sure he never got another cap for Brazil afterwards, hulk was a decent player but he also faded away I think.
The only players that didn’t really fall off were players at really big clubs or weren’t playing at the time.
The only player that closed their career as a result of that game was Fred, as well as manager, Scolari.
Oscar still won the prem with Chelsea the following season
Thiago Silva won the champions league with Chelsea as well 😄
hulk still did pretty great at zenit a while later though yeah he did fade into obscurity just not because of this game.
@@No-mn9do Big up zenit
The worst thing is, Brazil can beat Germany, but they'd never be able to get revenge for that humiliation, like they'd never be able to score 7 goals against them.
On top of that Germany did that to Brazil at their own World Cup. 😵
I don't think the word "humiliation" covers it.
Tell em 😂
As a german i treasure this memory. Summer of 2014 is still so vivid in my head. The overwhelming feeling of joy I experienced while watching and jumping up and down because I couldn’t handle it is as clear as ever.
Probably the best world cup for Germany.
How are you enjoying not been able to get to the round of 16 for two world cups in a row?
It's really good to remember this good moment of the German team, because that Germany of 2014 no longer exists.
@@thiagoraphael4762 Best to do now is prepare for the Euro in 2024 and get a good team and coach together for 2026.
@@matias20081 oh we dont enjoy it that much mate but we cabt chabge anythin about it. 2018 was much more devastating than this time and we are truly excited for the next tournaments as we have a lot of young and exciting players that could be some of the best in the world by then (in particullary musiala and wirtz)
I was living in Paris at the time, taking a French as a second language class on the weekends with a bunch of expats including about 7 Brazilians. They.. did not show up to class the next day. None of them.
Its funny how David Luiz is often portrayed as the poster child of this humiliation of Brazil when Fernandinho was equally culpable and perhaps even more rotten. Rewatch all the goals & try to spot him.
I happen to agree with you. Marcelo was absolutely awful too. I know they're attacking players, but Fred and Hulk were nowhere near good enough either.
Fernandinho and Luiz Gustavo were completely lost too. David was one part of it. Fernandinho wasn't satisfied and did it again 4 years latter.
This game was so cataclysmic to Brazil that to this day we still refer to it when we want to complain about normal, everyday problems.
Dentist bill is too high? -> "Just your everyday 7 x 1"
Groceries are more expensive? -> "Everyday another 7x1"
Government refuses to do their job and help with infrastructure in your city? -> "There goes another 7x1""
I could go on, but this list would be unending.
Wow, a football score has become synonymous with anything going wrong.
It stunned the world and traumatised the host nation.
Really? I'm German, and German articles sometimes state this. I always wondered if this is true, or if Brazilians maybe just did this the first couple of weeks after the match and it's just a hoax nowadays.
@@NonSurvivorOne can attest it is not a hoax 👍🏽
@@NonSurvivorOne Yes we did that for a while, but nowadays this is hardly used anymore. Brazilians who say yes are the Brazilians who don't know how to overcome this event, most have moved on and are looking to the next generation.
@@NonSurvivorOne It's all true but it fell in disuse before 2018.
I was feeling sleepy when the match started, by the 30th minute, my mum and I were in the living room sitting in disbelief at what we were watching. What a match
I am Brazilian and live in Germany. During the WC EVERYBODY in my classroom, who liked football couldn’t stop talking about this game. I have the feeling that this loss will be haunting Brazilians forever
I watched this match with my German housemate and my Brazilian partner. She went to cry in the bathroom at 3-0 down, only return to it being 5-0. This Semi loss and the 1950 Uruguay loss seem to be the two memories that sting the most for Brazilians.
I think was the best World Cup ever in terms of games, parties and hospitality. Literally every restaurant and bars in every city had tables inside and outside with a giant TV playing every game and was always full. Was a celebration of different nationalities and football. One common thing among every national team and WC fans attending was: how nice the hotels and staff was, how beautiful the cities were and how the atmosphere was magical. It seem like an undeserved punishment, sure we’ll all like to win against the best and the best it’s Germany and Brazil, but that game was not fair to Brazil, Brazilians and felt like to much for a country and people that provided amazing moments to everyone there to see or work at the WC.
It was not. Each game of Argentina was dull
This is one of those games, where even people who have 0 interest in football, are likely to recall what they did on that day or where they were during the game. And people who are interested in football will be able to tell you exactly what they did, who they were with and where they were. One of the few historic incidents of the last two decades that does not fill me with despair.
Klose got his revenge from 2002. Kross masterclass and khedira was good too.
What made it even worse is that Brazilians then had to turn around and cheer for Germany in the final against Argentina. That rubbed salt in the wound.
Why brazil and Argentina don't like each other.
@@o.i.c.uvanish9169 they are sworn enemies when it comes to football
I personally did not see that much hostility towards Germany during or after the 7 x 1 match. We colectivelly understood the fault was ours, not theirs. The self-deprecating memeing got insane.
Going into the game, there was a hunch that Brazil would be 'found out', as they scraped through many games and without Neymar and Thiago Silver they were even weaker.
Germany were first real test of their credentials, and they duly were dispatched showing their weaknesses in humiliating fashion. Just didn't expect the seven goals!
This was an awesome "I was there to See it"-Moment for me, I can vividly remember the day and the people I watched it with because it was so crazy
I was there. I witnessed it.
I told one of my friends Germany was gonna win, I just didn't expect it to be by that much
I didn't expect Brazil to win that game, but the scoreline to me is due to the pressure. Let alone Neymar's injury, since day one it was clear that playing at home was getting into their heads.
IIRC Jonathan Pierce was on the microphone for this one on the BBC coverage. His commentary got more breathless, more incredulous with every German goal, culminating in his voice cracking up in disbelief as he whispered "they've scored four goals in six minutes!"
He has long been an underrated servant to British football watchers - never showy, but always that familiar comforting voice. Commentators live for days like that and boy did he deliver.
The humiliation was complete.
When Klose scored the 2:0 he became the alltime topscorer at worldcups. Dethroning Ronaldo, a brazilian icon...
I remember this day vividly, i was sitting in my moms bedroom with my parsnts. We had just came back from my grandma's with ultimarely nothing to really watch on TV.
My dad suggested we'd watch the game as it was going to be a good match up, and so we did. As we watched, we didn't really pay much attention to the TV as my parents were on the phone, then suddenly- the goals started flooding in, quickly at that.
We watched in pure disbelief, yet we all remained silent. In my mind- it was like watching a person get tossed around incapable of doing anything to stop it.
What a day.
I remember watching this when i was 13 with my dad, we couldn't believe it, history happening right before our eyes
As a germany supporter, still remember that day , me (only germany supporter that time and place) and my friends (5 of them support brazil proudly wear the brazil jersey keep telling we gonna trash u guys) , after third goal my excitement change to nightmares even though i supported germany. Watch my friends cry literally cry so hard
Crazy that this was the last good German world Cup game as well. The final was fought hard but quite sloppy at times.
And only went dowmhill for the Germans (and Gotze) ever since
@@richhornie7000 götze has had a resurgence lately but otherwise you arent wrong
@@galador8089 certainly not German Messi level. Now even his greatest achievement pales in comparison to actual Messi who scores 2 in the final.
@@richhornie7000 well yeah, but götze had a lot of injury issues. and then again he was probably never gonna be as good as messi
Well i guess they achieved everything they wanted to. No real driving force any more.
many people forgot, it's not 7-1 it's 1-7, huge different, 1-7 means you get destroyed at home, it's the biggest humiliation in history of the world cup, luckily Tite bring hope to Brazilian football, bring back the joga bonito.
Thiago Silva missing that game was huge…but David Luiz & Marcelo were at fault for most of the goals.
Exactly. Marcelo seems to get way less stick than David Luiz for this game. Didn't have all the world class defenders of Madrid to bail him out here.
@@efancording6363 as a Madridista who LOVES Marcelo, yeah don’t count on him for defending 😂
He’ll make you pay at the other end tho hahah
Marcelo is the best attacking left-back in football history, defensively though… not so much.
@@efancording6363 honestly though, the real blame should be directed towards Scolari for putting them in such a poor position.
David Luiz should never start unless he plays in a three man defensive line.
Scolari started (past his prime) Maicon over Dani Alves.
Scolari also inexplicably left out Lucas Leiva & Coutinho from the Brazil squad and I feel they both could have contributed.
@@btb3614 Lucas Leiva definitely needed to be in the squad.
I still feel emotionally drawn to it even though I'm not a Brazilian.
Before the match they had a whole ceremony where they carried Neymar's jersey around the pitch as if he was dead. I remember thinking it was so ridiculous and overdramatic I hoped they would lose, and boy did the Germans deliver
The one that got me was this was only the third time in World Cup history a country was losing 5-0 at half time. Brazil joining Zaire and Haiti on that list
The most iconic match of the 2010s
I watched this in high school with my Brazilian friend, he still wanted Germany to beat Argentina & it was the most confusing twist of emotions
One of the first games I actually remember watching. I remember watching it before school and it was mental, my dad went to the bathroom and the Germans scored twice in that time. Unreal memories as a kid
I watched this with a bunch of German friends in a pub. There was such a bizarre sense of disbelief about what was happening they were almost as confused as they were happy.
inject the tears of david luiz right into my blood stream
This isn't "a" world cup humilation, this is "THE" world cup humiliation.
You can see the ideas of Low‘s after the game. The Germans didn’t celebrate in the beginning. At first they hugged and put the arms around the Brazilians.
Fun fact: whenever some of us Brazilians see something wrong with our football (or other non-related stuff, e.g. corruption schemes, firing a manager too early etc), we joke “7 a 1 foi pouco”, which means “7 vs 1 was not enough, it should've been even worse”
Looking back at Brazil’s squad I find it crazy that I once believed that team. That squad was very weak, and even more so without Neymar and Thiago Silva. It took a great amount of luck to get through Chile and Colombia, Chile even hit the post in extra time. With that said, I think the insane score line was more related to the emotional side of the game than a tactical/technical problem, even if there were plenty of them.
Aquele time era Neymar e mais 10, fico embasbacado que na época eu achava um timaço. Aquela copa das confederações de 2013 me enganou direitinho.
Between 2010-2014 German teams both international and club level were racking up huge scorelines. The 7-1 in 2014 was the culmination of that trend.
Tbf, as a brazilian, it feels like we still havent seen the end of that match. It was a earth shattering event to our football, a sort of wake up call to the harsh reality that we were lagging behind at a national level (not only at club level). Only the near future will tell if we have learned something from that day. Dunno, we might even win this WC.
i will never forget that day. we werent watching the game but my dad had the online ticker open and was in disbelief at how fast the goals were coming in and so we scrambled to turn on the tv and watch the rest of the game
I think the Germans read the situation and understood there was gonna be a riot on the stadium if they continued that's why they slowed down in the second half. Too bad though it would be interesting to see them score more.
That day Germany would’ve scored 12+ goals but their Coach Löw told ‘em to slow down in the second half because it would be a complete humiliation
The day the Brazilian legacy died .....thanks germany for shutting these self righteous fans up and tarnishing a nation's identity for eternity
For me by far the most unbelievable football match I have seen - before or since.
I do believe that if you put both of those teams playing again and again, that result wouldn't be achieved again. It was something truly unimaginable. As a Brazilian, I must say that for me, it was too surreal, too unbelievable, I started to laugh and just enjoyed history in the making before my eyes.
Me too! I started laughing bc I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It felt like a PES game when you score 0-8 on the first half. I remember people screaming in the streets at each goal, a different kind of scream, the one that chill your soul and is followed by a haunting silence. Football just hits different down here.
As a German fan, this video was desperately needed. Thank you so much🥺
It’s funny. I’ve been watching many sports for many years now, and it’s a medium that is inherently built to surprise us-I see things that shock me every week. But there’s a few games, a few moments in sports that’ve truly shook me to my core. This match was one of them. Those 20 minutes left me speechless.
I remember watching this game.
I asked the group "Where's Brazil's defense right now?"
A friend responded, "Probably in another stadium."
I would've cried had I not thought that joke was so funny, but I was still pretty devastated.
Most iconic football match of all time honestly
my heart still hurts for Brasil. such pain to lose in a devastating manner at your home tournament. I don't wish that on anyone.
im german and i was 11 when this match was on and it was like at 10:30 pm our time so lowkey had to beg my mom to let me stay up. watching it i wasn’t even celebrating i was jus sitting there in disbelief thinking that it was a dream
One of the most consequential football match of all time, more memorable than the final of the same tournament
Remember myself and my younger brother were at the time very confused why people expected a brazil win when neymar and Thiago silva were both out. We expected a 3-0 or something along them lines. We couldn’t believe that it was going to be far far worse for the Brazilians
This game was truly one of the most jaw dropping “you had to be there in the moment” moments in sporting history, every minute that passed was truly a dagger to the heart of every Brazilian fan/player/team and pure shock around the world.
To me one of the most memorable moments from this game was when Klose scored to become the highest scorer in WC history, and the camera panned to R9 (who held the record up to that point) in the stands and he was in complete disbelief. The Germans truly destroyed Brazil that night in every way imaginable.
I watched the game live. I'll never forget it.
this was one of the greatest and best games of football i have ever watched. it was crazy, nobody knew what just happened and then, another goal. Just a fantastic time.
Having watched both teams up until that point, there was no way Brazil was getting past Germany, even at full strength. They looked flat against Chile. Fred and Hulk were nowhere near top international level. I think it would’ve been more like a 4-1 game with Thiago Silva and Neymar
The was surreal match to watch on TV. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
See that game is almost weirdly nostalgic it was insane seeing Brazil of all teams give up and just let Germany keep scoring but I don't feel bad for them first of all they're Brazil they've won 5 world cups and also cause they showed no heart no fight no willingness to do anything to help themselves also Germany they were just too good
Will never forget this day, I thought I was in a simulation. Unbelievable game.
I remember turning on the TV at the end of 1st half, seeing 5:0 and thinking it must be a technical glitch. It was so unbelievable.
My wife is Brazilian but not a football fan. We'd been in Brazil that February and she'd started to get a bit involved in the excitement as they were building up to the tournament.
Back home and during the summer, her cousins were visiting us, and I convinced her to get excited also buying her a shirt just before this semi-final. Yeaaahhh, that was the end of that.
video graphics and sound work is great ...nice video work...
watched this game at a bar while eating wings… (one guy with us was rooting for germany) but most of the bar was with brazil. I still remember everyone giving him the side eye everytime germany scored 😂 it was painful but atleast i remember the wings being good
It felt like losing a family member. I'm not joking, that was the sentiment.
1:32 "nobody could have foreseen what followed."
except for the random german guy in front of a Rewe predicting a "knackiges 7:1"
I watched this game with my girlfriend in Australia, first thing in the morning and couldn't believe what I was seeing
