Semi-final description

Germany
Brazil

This game was Impossible, Embarrassing, Astonishing, Crushing, unheard of, Not real, Fake, Weird , Amazing, Will be long know in history, Hacked, Brazil's Worst defeat ever and crazy. Germany played amazing today but it was not just that Germany played good ,Brazil played Terrible. I Predicted this game to be close close. I also predicted Brazil too win. But I was wrong wrong. This is like Germany vs Indonesia.  Many Records were made in this Game. Here is how it happened. Thomas Muller scored at the 11' and is right behind James Rodriguez for the golden boot. Then Germany scored 4 goals in 6 minutes ! First with Klose then with Kroos twice ending with a goal by Sami Khediria. Brazil was Bewildered. Germany leading 5-0 at Half time. The Germans not only wanted to score over and over again , they were determined the Brazilians did not score. At half time the Brazilian Coach ( Scolari  )must have given his beat up team a great pep talk. Because at the start of the second half the Brazilians played harder. But then they kind of gave in again. With substitute Schurrel scoring 2 goals with 10 minutes between them ( 69' 79' ). Right at that moment Brazil was down worse than their worse defeat ( 6-0 vs Uruguay  ). So Oscar went on a Breakaway and Scored ( at the 90' ) to tie the worst defeat. The Game ended 7-1. It should have been 8-1 , Ozil had a extremely close shot but it missed. More than half the crowd cried. But the few German fans cheered and enjoyed themselves. Here are some quotes I liked from the commentators: " probably the most astonishing game "  " If this were boxing the Referee would stop it to save Brazil from more Punishment ". This Thrashing, Destruction and Humiliation might be because Brazil did not have 2 of their top stars. Neymar and Thiago Silva. This definitely helped the Germans win, but they probably still would have won (if by not as much) even with Thiago Silva and Neymar. There was no Organization in the Brazilian Defense. Thiago Silva is a very good defender and organizer. Without organization the defense could not stop the excellently skilled passers and shooters that the Germans are. The Brazilians could not score many goals either vs Neuer and the strong German defense. With Neymar and Thiago Silva it would have been a closer game but still with the Germans winning. Here are some records the Game broke and tied:

Brazil's worst defeat ever
Largest Semi-Final Goal difference
Klose became the person to score the most goals in the world cup with 16 goals through all 4 world cups he has and is playing in including this one.
Fastest 4 goals in world cup history
Germany is now has the highest all time goals in world cup history
Broke Brazil's home game wins streak since 1975
The First goal made Germany have 2000 goals

Here are some thing people said about the game

 Toni Kroos said his team was not playing their best " worst defeat ever  " Brazilian coach Scolari.

The Brazilians walked away Humiliated and  Embarrassed beyond belief. The Brazilian police ( who I bet did not like the game either ) had to escort the Germany fans to their homes and hotels.

This Game is crazy to think about. A home Semi-Final for Brazil ( Considered the best team of all time ) was lost 7-1. I am calling this the Miracle of Belo Horizonte ( that's the city they played in ) or the Scandal of Belo Horizonte ( if it is a scandal ) It may be. The Referee's were not bribed and it seems so unlikely that the players would be bribed though. It might be a scandal because of the score , Say if a person said I bet that Germany will win 7-1. He would have to pay little if it did not happen because of the chance such a thing would happen and he would get a lot if it did happen, Again because of the chance. Well I will be telling my great grand kids what happened at the Miracle/Scandal of Belo Horizonte.

Netherlands
Argentina

This match was boring, Close and terrible ( at least for me ). Argentina has not reached it this far since 1990. Netherlands made it to the Semi-finals last world cup. Netherlands had more than half of the possession. But Argentina had more shots. Jasper Cillesin played amazing in net not letting one in. The Netherlands could not score a goal though. Right before the whistle signaled penalties there was a foul that should have been a penalty for Netherlands. Anyway it went into a Penalty shoot out. The Netherlands did not use their last sub for Krul again ( which I think they should have done. ). so here is how the Penalty shoot out went:

Netherlands: X Vlarr 0-0  Argentina: V Messi 1-0  Netherlands: V Robben 1-1  Argentina: V Garay 2-1   Netherlands: X Snedijer 2-1  Argentina: V Aguero 3-1   Netherlands: V Kuyt 3-2   Argentina: V Rodriguez 4-2

and sadly Netherlands lost

Final and 3rd place match

Germany
Argentina

Germany won an impressive Semi-final vs Brazil to get to this Final and Argentina narrowly won a not so impressive semi final to get here. Argentina won again with equal or less than 2 goals. They have 7 goals in 6 matches not counting penalty shootout goals. While Germany has scored 17 goals in 6 matches. Germany is looking the better team. But Argentina is not to bad. Germany will probably win this world cup tying Italy for second place in all time world cup wins. Messi is a great player and this is his last chance to win a world cup ( which he will not do )

Netherlands
Brazil

This game will probably be close if Brazil wakes up determined to be 3rd. If Brazil does not wake up then Netherlands will probably be 3rd.
