World Cup 2014 Brazil

I'm betting on Germany too. Brazil lost Neymar (who scored 40% of they World Cup goals thus far) and Thiago Silva. Those are more difficult to replace than Schweinsteiger for Germary.
Even if Brazil did have all of their players, I think Germany is the stronger team this year.
But we'll see what happens

Ah, I forgot about Silva being out for this match as well. The deck is stacked against Brazil for this match. I'd be very surprised to see Brazil win today.
don't underestimate the home-crowd factor. especially in brazil.
neymar was the star, but the subs, although not as good in absolute, are still pretty good.
plus i have a feeling that the ref might be helpful to their cause (i was surprised -or maybe not- that they picked one of the few that was quite bad so far)
Everybody deserves a second chance! Even a ref.
I like Willian, surprised that he played very little, and a couple of their mids. Dante can be considered a decent substitute for Thiago Silva - considering everything is possible within one game and Brazil will see this under such circumstances as a now or never kind of game I believe chances are more or less 50/50. Not sure Germany profits from being considered favorite either. Bummer!

I love that the Brazilians wore Neymar maskts in the "We Are All Neymar" campaign.
No. you're not. You're all bad. So is your team without Neymar.

apparently, they didn't mind
I am soo glad i am not brazilian right now.
i would be suicidal
really shocking stuff

it seems highly unlikely
but if they do, it would not only be historic (this game already is), but it would be without doubt the most epic game of all times.
meanwhile is brazil doing all they can NOT to put in into the net.
Wow. I'm in shock. Have to feel sorry for Brazil, but they were nothing without Silva and Neymar - I'd wager even England could've beaten them tonight!
After Germany scored 3-0, I went upstairs to tell my dad how Brazil was getting crushed and in the time it took me to walk upstairs it was 4-0. Wow.
typo
I disagree. Brazil wasn't that good of a team without Silva and Neymar. I wouldn't be so quick to crown Germany.

1) Do you think that Silva and Neymar made the difference between a 7:1 loss, and a Brazilian win ? If yes, you completely overestimate the two.
2) Brazil playing in their home country has had to be the toughest opponent in this Worldcup.
They have been undefeated 65 games at home.
Germany absolutely can win the Worldcup after this performance.
WILL they do it ? Who knows.
