We all knew this brazil team was a big barrell of camel p*ss. Great to see it exposed so ruthlessly on the biggest stage.
David luiz was made to look like coco the clown. He was as much use to brazils defence as a lump of sh*t.

Germany have been threatening something like this for years. They thrashed argentina and us in the last world cup. They've made the semi's of the last 4 major tournaments. This is their moment, the culmination of that work coming toegther perfectly all at once.

I loved Cesar and Luiz holding a Neymar shirt during the anthem too, that was so Kopite

Must admit I thought he must have died between the build up and the anthems.

As Chris Waddle said they would have been the worst team to win a world cup, so its cheering to see them dumped out like that.

Heard the 5 Live game commentary highlights on the way in to work this morning, the summariser saying at 0-4, "if we were giving marks out of 10, Fernandinho would only get 1 for putting his shirt on the right way round" was a real moment

Brazil finally shown up for the team they are not!!

A lot of hatred for a team that at least reached the semi finals from a country that didn't even manage to win a game.

We might be crap but I don't get this supporting Brazil business anyway.

I'm getting enjoyment from seeing the team that "neutrals" wanted to win having their backsides handed to them on a silver salver on a velvet cushion in their own back yard.

"I want them to win because its Brazil and, well, Pele, Ronaldo, samba, Copacabana, beautiful football, just give them the trophy blah blah blah". People have this rose-tinted view of Brazil based on the 1970 team, the 1982 team (even thought they didn't win) and a number of outstanding, legendary players, but the current team is absolute garbage and taking two players out showed exactly that they've been lucky this tournament, up to last night

Pretty much this. Kind of like after 2009 everybody suddenly were Barcelona fans

Its been terrible World Cup for most of City's players. Either not making the squad, in the squad but not picked, injured, out of form, missing crucial chances, making crucial mistakes or playing in crap teams.

I feel a treble at the very least should be on for next season.

Well it was on last season but you soiled the bed against Wigan.

I'd prefer all the CFC players to save all their medals for us anyway. It's alright having players come back with World Cup winners medals, but ultimately who cares what they win with their national teams? Torres won a World Cup and European Championship but he's still been worthless to us.

Just don't want Holland winning it. The press are already on their knees to him because of his genius in beating Costa Rica on pens. God knows what they're going to be like if he wins the World Cup.

Even funnier about this Brazil humiliation is that it has totally exposed Scolari has the hopeless coach he really is.

His man-management skills have been awful, and even more so, his handling of the inevitable pressure to win on his side, which has been terrible.

It was obvious that being the host nation, great things would be expected of the Brazil side from the Brazillian public, winning the trophy was demanded. From the first game however, it was obvious to most observers that this Brazil side was average, very average.

Scolari, who had been vocal in his own expectation of the side, should surely have seen the warning signs and actually begun to downplay Brazil's chances. Instead, he did the opposite, despite the remaining group games being similarly uninspiring.

By the time of the knockout games Brazil were a ticking timebomb. Their emotions were all over the place, just witness the laughably OTT national anthems before all their matches, and again, despite being awful against both Chile and Colombia, Scolari just continued to build the pressure on his team up.

Last night was almost inevitable - Yes, maybe the scoreline was a tad bizarre, but the manner in which they collapsed was something which was always on the cards, simply because the Brazillian public, aided by Scolari's inability to keep things calm, were almost brainwashed into believing they were going to win, and their expectation transferred to the players, who simply couldn't cope.

David Luiz put in perhaps the worst performance i have ever seen from a professional in any field in the history of time on earth.

This defeat will leave an imprint on brazils psyche as a football nation so devastating they'll not win another world cup in our lifetimes.

Germany have exterminated them.
