So could someone explain just why Brazil have fallen apart quite so badly...
They've been playing poorly all tournament, only scraping through due to favourable decisions from referees or moments of brilliance from their two good players (Thiago Silva & Neymar) who are both missing tonight.

Because up until this point they've rode their luck, with the occasional sparks obviously from the likes of Neymar, the home support and dodgy refereeing.
Soon as they came up against a decent team, they're shown to be just how ordinary they are.
I think it's a mixture of poor play from Brazil and good play from Germany.
So many gaps in brazils defence and Marcelo is having a mare. He picked a terrible team and should have gone defensive from the start. If you have a **** attack and a dodgy defence, it's best to prioritise the defence in a competition game vs a stronger team.
I don't even think it's Germany being a well oiled machine... It's Brazil being so unorganised it's unbelievable.
Oh no way this is all Germany brilliance. More like 95% brazil arsenal crumbling. They're so open. I can't wait for half time analysis. Hansen to go HAM. It'll be interesting to see where Luiz and ferna were for their goals. No reply cos the goals were so near each other.
Why he went attacking when his only attacking player is out is baffling.
Anecdotally, my sister is a teacher in Germany and likes her Turkish-descent pupils but has had a few problems with some Eastern European ones and their parents... (very small sample size). My niece, however, has displayed some mildly islamophobic tendencies (she's called out on it and I think she'll grow out of it - she's probably just a bit bitchy atm) - I blame her Christian grandmother tbh.
