Soccer / Football 2012-2013 Always With The GERMANS!

[Tyrath]

ftfy

Yes. Enormous amounts of them. Even at the WC.

[Plow]

Just got home. And it's 0-5 and not even 40 minutes in? Uhhhhhhhhhhhh

it was 5-0 25 minutes in lol


and they said a bit ago the worst in elimination rounds of world cup was 10-1

[Mayareira]

Has any team ever lost the semi finals with a 5 goal difference?

Nope. Such domination has been seen only in qualifications/early rounds, with extremely strong teams vs. extremely weak ones (Hungary vs. Faroe, Yugoslavia vs. Zaire, etc.)

The biggest final win was 5-2, Brazil vs. Sweden.

[Plow]

no business even talking about the 2002 team in the same conversation as this one, that team was godlike

they're mixing up their finals, the 5-2 is actual final game, where technically everything after group stage is the "world cup finals," and there have been way worse

[Plow]

can't tell if these 20 goals in the last 30 seconds are a commercial or germany highlights

What makes this one so special is that it is a giant vs. giant, sure Hungary/Germany/England at their peak was dominating the scene but Germany against Brazil...5-0, don't recall such a domination in my lifetime.

[Judai]

losing 1-0 to these guys is looking pretty good atm.

yeah netherlands spain and germany portugal are the biggest I can think of with really big teams on both sides til this

[Enedin]

Yeah this is quite surreal, 4 goals in 6 minutes vs the host in the semi-finals of a World Cup.

I put my money on Germany before the match because I figured they had a much better organisation, but this match is really exaggerating that feature.

Edit: what I really liked about most of those goals is that they stay calm and still play the ball towards a team mate instead of shooting when they had the chance. It's like the game has become a game to them now.

[Not Kuno]

knock knock who’s there??

not brazil’s defense

[Petitssk]

People are going crazy over here, though I hope the German team won't get overconfident in the second half.

Or the midfield. From the beginning of the game, their midfield has been way too static which led to their defenders having no-one to give the ball to.

Good German pressure on the midfield does that though.

More worried about them being overconfident in the final.

[Meph]

quoting a friend; "this is what happens when the fifa judges wins games for the host country. they shouldn't have gotten past round-of-16"

Also forward and not only limited to this game.

Fred...Jo...and Hulk I suppose. literally non-existent players. Ronaldinho would do a better job even just with the experience. Brazil forward was extremely reliant on Neymar Jr.

[Jefe]

The Brazilians are too busy diving instead of attempting to score legit

[Mayareira]

Brazil are playing much better this half though, probably with the relief of the fact that they've got nothing to lose.

If they can score 2 or heck, 3 that'd be enough for a saving grace.

[Tyrath]

Neuer is a beast.

[Vaspinne]

Germany goalie is a brick wall
