Germany Slams Brazil in Semi Finals, 7-1

History in Belo Horizonte

World Cup history was made in Belo Horizonte, when Germany beat Brazil 7-1 in a semi-final match for the coveted World Cup.   Such high scoring semi final matches are rare and seen once in a generation.

Despite a huge home team advantage, the Brazilians were simply outplayed and out maneuvered by the German squad who scored 5 goals in the first 29 minutes.

Though Brazil tried to make a valiant comeback in the second half and scored a goal, the tide was with Germany.  Legendary German player Miroslav Klose made history on the pitch by scoring and making it a world record 16 goals in World Cup play.

Despite home advantage, this was not the classic Brazilian football game but a sad parody of play.

Again special kudos go to the German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer; amazing defense.
