I'm not as happy as I could be because 7-0 would have been so much better.

Apparently it really annoys the German team, too.
Germany vs:
English speaking teams: 1w, 1d, 3 goals for, 2 against
French speaking teams (in regulation): 1w, 1d, 1 goal for, 0 against
Portuguese speaking teams: 2 w, 11 goals for, 1 against.

What a great game, Germany just loving destroyed an entire nation on a pitch and it was so clear cut. I really wish I was back in Berlin for the final.

This is beautiful. I love how they still have the energy to cheer the second half goals almost as much as the first half ones.

The online odds were always listed dramatically in Brazil's favor using data apparently compiled by people who didn't actually watch them play any matches over the past 3 weeks. Even this morning, without Silva or Neymar, they were favored heavily. I don't think anyone expected THIS result, but it was annoying to see IMO unfounded confidence in Brazil taking it all.

Brazil didn't play that well during the World Cup and kept getting gifts from refs in their favor, got lucky with other teams' disposition, they're also the organizers, favorites, they had overwhelming crowd support etc. This match finally brought the veil of bullshit down uncovering a crying child in an oversized yellow-green outfit.

i think so. my guess? they (were, at least) both the presumed champions while also being really overhyped. and they have a reputation for thuggish, brutal play that intimidates their opponents into submission.

which partly explains why they imploded so catastrophically. the brutal play resulted in neymar getting kicked in the back and silva getting benched. so all they had left were beefed-up enforcers. eventually they were going to run into an opponent that would not be intimidated and would show no mercy. and when brazil did, they were without two of their key players.

so it's tragic but it's like a pleasurable greek tragedy where brazil totally deserves what they got.

Also everyone always talks about THE SAMBA FOOTBALL even though that poo poo basically died about 20 years ago when they won the World Cup by winning every knockout-round match 1-0 and then the final on penalties after a 0-0 draw. And now Brazil's basically just a football colony of Europe anyway. They didn't even have a token dude from a domestic club team in the squad.

it's like watching the classroom bully get the mother of all beatdowns:

quote:

Scolari’s art has always been so obvious that when, prior to the ’02 World Cup, it was coined “bullyball,” what else could you do but nod your head in agreement? Bullyball. Such a simple, proud, and ridiculous idea. Close spaces. Intimidate. Kick. In Japan and South Korea, Scolari only played with three recognized defenders. But he also had Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, and Cafú on that team. You need to have the capacity to intimidate with the ball. Brazil, with Neymar out was always going to prove incapable of that. So Scolari opted to go all in on intimating without the ball. Enter Dante for Thiago Silva and re-enter Luiz Gustavo after his suspension. And just like that, any mental edge Brazil hoped to have in a game against Germany was gone.

A simple enough decision, Brazil's inclusion of Dante and Luiz Gustavo. Safe. Some would say sensible. But these are two players who, no surprise, rely entirely on physicality. And they weren't going to concern the German players in the slightest. Dante is the weak link in the Bayern defense and for his part Gustavo was cut loose from Bayern prior to last season. Never underestimate how much your plans go to mash when you rely on intimidation and the opposition doesn't give the slightest drat. It’s the smallest things in a defensive player that can cause an opposing player to pause, be it that their uncertainty of the defender's speed, reaction time, or inclination to challenge violently. Conversely, the greatest aid to player is comfort. In short, the two players added to Brazil’s lineup with the mission of discomforting the Germans were two players with whom the Germans were resoundingly familiar. And the German midfield certainly played like it.

The funny thing about teams designed to live by the result is that in their compact, course minimalism—in which the idea of conceding two goals is an unthinkable nightmare—seduces them into the false security of believing that only one type of result exists: the low score. If you decide that football is about the results, that’s fine, but then you have to be prepared to live with 1-7. That, after all, is also a result.
