The sound on this one sucks. There, I said it.

For germans that game is a happy core memory to return to, when we are sad.

I think anybody that has an interest in football remembers this game. As a third party I started to feel bad. Its the football equivalent of the "stop he's already dead" meme😂

For me as a german it was one of my best days of my life and my Childhood. I still can remember what me and my friends did that day, where we watched and how much we celebrated. Core memory of my childhood

I am german and I remeber I was in a student bar to watch the game. They had a policy of handing out a free drink for every german goal during WC and euro cup games. At this day they just gave up and handed out bottles to refill by ourself.

Man…it was traumatic. I’m not even Brazilian but i felt that. People were crying. Everybody was holding their head…what an awful experience😂 .

important context: Brazil hosted their first world cup in 1950 and since they hadn't won a world cup yet the hype was huge, after they lost in the final against heavy underdogs Uruguay (that was the game with the highest attendance in football history at ~200'000) many Brazilians dubbed that game as the worst tragedy in Brazilian sports history, as they didn't know if they'd witness another world cup in Brazil during their lifetimes. It took 64 years before Brazil could host another world cup in 2014 and it was viewed as a chance to rectify the tragedy of 1950 and a chance to finally be able to win a world cup on home turf but the exact opposite happened, another tragedy at a home world cup and who knows how long it'll be before the world cup returns to Brazil. I remember watching this game and I felt so bad for them when the cameras panned to the fans and everyone was crying

And to this day. Whenever someone loses 7-1, we still shout “BRAZIL!”. Brazil’s legacy has been forever altered

I remember this game, I knew Germany was going to win after I saw the national anthems (Neymar and Thiago Silva were out, yet David Luiz was holding up a Neymar shirt as if he died or something, moment Germany got the 2nd, Brazil just quit, I thought Germany would win but I didn't expect to see them crush Brazil, the difference in mindset was illustrated in the last minute, Brazil score their consolation goal in the last minute and the German defence and Manuel Neuer just looked pissed off that they didn't keep a clean sheet

As a German, I was happy until 4:0. From that point onwards, I felt more sorry for the horrified and crying spectators, who were shown again and again.

Imagine Germany had the Bayern goal hymn during this match 💀💀

I watched that semifinal on television during the 2014 World Cup, and Brazilians thought the Universe was ending. I could feel their anguish, humiliation and hurt from all the way in Texas.

Good start hahahaha I was thinking "wtf you want to know more of us and thats where you start??" but thinking back this is a good choise so now we can only go up hahahahaha really want to see how you will enjoy our way of playing the game.

You can also find the original recording of the entire game or the highlights on KZfaq. We were all shocked when the score was 5:0 in favour of Germany in the first half. In the end, some Brazilians even cheered on the Germans because they played good combined football. But it was also merciless. I think it's the highest semi-final result so far.

Their ego throughout this WC because it was in their home country is what set them to lose badly against Germany. I remember watching this match and couldn't have been more satisfied to see their ego crushed.

Speaking as a German I can truly say that we felt bad for Brazil. Germany has always looked up to them. Btw. the 2 goals that Toni Kroos scored weren't 2 minutes apart, they were 69 seconds apart.

We watched the game with friends. I'll never forget that game.

You should react to derby days boca juniors vs river plate video, its about the biggest rivalry in football and those 2 teams meeting in the libertadores final (basically the champions league final of south america.)

...for me as a German watching that game was fantastic, as I of course wanted my team to get to the final... until the 2:0 - then it became spooky... I didn't enjoy or applaud the goals following, and I think many German fans felt the same... it was about winning, yes, but not about humiliating the opponent, especially the admired and loved Brasil team in its own country... when the camera showed Brasilian fans in tears I felt for them... I didn't want the game to go like that... Thiago Silva was severely missed in the defense, and Neymar was also not there... after a fierce start, hoping for a quick score, to then defend it, the tide turned against them... the German offensive players teared the wobbly Brasilian defense apart... sad to watch, even as a German fan...

The primary areas of failure in the match: 1. Underestimating the peril posed by the opponent and overestimating one's own capabilities. 2. Insufficient preparation and strategic foresight. 3. General defensive confusion. 4. Inadequate territorial control and positioning on the pitch. 5. Deficiency in leadership and effective communication for team reorganization. 6. Tactical indiscipline among certain players... 7. Also, inefficiency in defensive and offensive transitions, leading to vulnerability post-possession loss. Regarding the scoreline, it's worth noting it was even more disheartening. For those who may not recall, the Netherlands secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Brazil in the third-place playoff. Additionally, one might argue the Germans displayed a hint of mercy.

This was my favourite game ever. My team put on an absolute master class on how to play as a team.

“How do you deal with a 5-0 deficit?” I can not tell you. I have watched countless games over the last 40 years and have never seen a professional team come back from a 5-0 deficit.

I'm from Germany. Until today i've watched this game maybe 4 times a year. Just last week.....

As a German Schalke fan, this game is on par with the 4:4 after 0:4 in our derby against Lüdenscheid.

Hi Corey, I´ve seen you over at Luke´s channel. I hadn´t subbed because until now your content was fairly similar, going into tactics and whatnot. But this highlight into international teams is quite fresh and I´m definitely up for what comes next, you earned a sub! Brazil is definitely a great choice for starters, after you´re done with Brazil I´d pick Germany (so you see the 7-1 wasn´t THAT surprising), Uruguay, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. Not only because of these teams´achievements, but of their very distinctive and unique approach to football, called Gegenpressing, Garra Charrúa, Catenaccio, Tiki-Taka and Total Football respectively, while the Brazilian School is called Jogo Bonito

if you are interested in learning more about brazilian football, you should know about Rogerio Ceni (the goalkeeper who has scored the most goals and saved the most penalties in history) and his team, São Paulo FC. I think you'll appreciate it!

As a German I watch it from time to time..just to remember me that this day was real. In 2014 I was standing in front of my TV screen in total disbelief..there is a infamous clip of a guy coming out of a Supermarket asked how the game will end and he replied 7:1. everyone including the Brazilian fan is laughing..two hours later nobody laughed

For those keen to delve into the history of football, there's a splendid documentary titled "History of Football: The Beautiful Game." Moreover, on the Classic Football KZfaq channel, you'll find two playlists: one showcasing the Football's Greatest Teams and another spotlighting the Football's Greatest International Teams. The chronicles of some of football's most illustrious squads are presented in an instructive manner, including the Pelé Era in Brazil (1958-1970), the Cruyff Era in the Netherlands (1974), and the Beckenbauer Era in Germany (1972-1974).

Still one of the most shocking events in football for me. Everyone was expecting a hotly contested game with Brazil coming out on top.

I've been watching the sport since I was around 9 or 10, my first world cup was 1982 in Spain, the 78' one I didn't care that much to watch. The one I did sit down and watch from beginning to end and followed the results closely was Mexico 86' when the great Diego lifted the trophy. By then I was a really avid football fanatic, following both Club and International games, my club team being River Plate of Argentina. When you've watched this sport for a good amount of years, you'll start noticing patterns. What goes around, comes around. Many moments of "divine justice" or Karma are constantly being dished out. Teams that win with help by the refs or mistakes, end up paying the price. Teams that humiliate others, end up getting humiliated in return, and so on. This was just another one of those moments. We don't know if it's a revenge for what happened in the 2002 final or if it's just the beginning of another moment where in the future Brazil will trash Germany in a similar fashion.. but keep your eyes peeled. That's what makes this sport so great!

I remember watching this and even i felt sad for them

I remember watching this game with my parents and my mom who knows absolutely nothing about football yelled out "what the fuck are they doing!?" referring to the Brazilian players when she saw the fans crying and some of the players holding their heads. Her reaction was hilarious to me. I'm not Brazilian or German, I was just expecting to watch a good match.

The problem was that they where not prepared to process the 0:1. This game was so loaded with how important it is to win, that they where mentally blocked after the first goal and they where beaten after the second. The Germans stayed on full power because such a game can turn around. Sweden turned a 4:0 into a 4:4 during the qualification tournament a year earlier, so the Germans stayed very concentrated almost up to the end.

Watch the highlights next. Like a quick addendum

One of my favourite Brazil memories is Josimar playing for them at right back in the 1986 world cup.

I support Germany, but I found myself on a Megabus from Glasgow to Manchester for that match, constantly checking my phone for updates, so jealous I couldn't watch the game.

In the second half, the brazilians people were cheering, each time the germams passed the ball without a brzilian player touching it. Sometimes, that would take minutes. The result of the game meant that Germany played the brazilian arch-rival, Argentinia, in the finals. They cheered for germany and showed that they are a good, sportive loser.

7:48 "I don't even know what I would do as a fan in that moment." Well, I got drunk. Best wishes from Germany.

as a german i can say, that was a nice match.

Yes, you need to watch the game!

I remember watching this live with my dad and it was absolutely crazy, arguably the most iconic game in world cup history. If you are interested in some other games to react to: Man City vs QPR 2011/12 - Probably the most iconic game in prem history Barcelona vs PSG 2017/18 - The greatest comeback in UCL history Man City vs Liverpool 2018/19 - Tactical Battle Just a few off the top of my head

As a Colombian this match made me so happy, because 4 days before the Brasil-Colombia was controversial for its bad refereeing and the phtsical it was (Brasil team beating the shit of James Rodriguez and Cuadrado and Colombia beating the shit of Neymar), Brasil lost 2 starting players Neymar (broken vertebra) and Tiago Silva the captain (Yellow card acumulation) which if it didn't happen, it could've change the history of the match against Germany.

There was a Thunderstorm in northern Germany, when the game happened, and fearful me turned off the tv for a moment. I noticed my phone vibrating like wild, and thought "Oh...maybe a goal was scored..." Finally I found the courage to turn back on, and...5-0. Wow

The Epitome of German Soccer skills

Sup Corey!, as a brazilian, this was the most painfull day of my life. We could not process what was going on... in front of our home crowd... I actually prefere not to remember this, cuz is too much of everything. When WC starts, ppl expect for us to win it all. We are always the favorites. Football for us the same as Basquetball for americans, cuz u can have great players and nations, but u know that USA is the chosen one. In this case, is football for us!. Ppl always have Brazil like a "second nation to cheer for", our playstyle and the way we live the sport is unique and who falls in love for this sport, always feel that about us. Im really happy that u are going to digg this, we have so manny things and u have so much to learn about Brazil, that, if u want a help, i can send u some necessary videos for u to see (or react). Our league is probably the hardest in the world, with 12 big clubs... if u think about it, Premier League have only 6... (and the money). I think our league is the best in term of competitivness, but is unfortunate that our talents are sold out for leagues that can pay.. like PL, Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga and etc... Sorry for the text, but i feel like a had to do this... cheers!

A bit of context, I remember after that game there were several reports of people rioting in the streets in anger because of that loss. You gotta understand, hosting a world cup demands a huge investment from the goverment and Brazil wasn't really that great at that time economically, so many people complained about the lack of investment in other areas that should've been priorities. But Brazil's path in the tournament was slowly winning the people and squashing down the criticism, it seemed like everybody was on the same boat right until that game against Germany. Losing like that was devastating for sure.

This was the last time that Germans were truly happy. Since then our National teams performance has been poor until the new Team came that will play in this years European Championship.

Sometimes sport is cruel because the wrong team wins. Not that unusual, in fact it's part of the charm. Then once in a blue moon sport is cruel because someone (or in this case a team) is forced to see through to the end what amounts to the worst thing that ever happened to them. The longest game ever. I'm not from Brazil, but that was a brutal watch. People were crying in the stands, not a resigned still kind of crying - no, they cried from a state of shock, horror and excruciating pain. You know, the way you cry if the bomb dropped in your neighbourhood and the bodies of loved ones were strewn around you. And as soon as the final whistle blew, the Brazilian players fell to ground crying too, having kept a brave face for an hour plus. The world felt Brazil that day. It's just one of those freak things that almost never happens. Almost. Germany did go on to win the whole thing though.

Yes for those “big countries” (big as in they can get in WC) this is the worst thing ever. For Slovakia even if we lose a friendly by like 2 goals, we are still hyped lmao😂.

Well the good thing is u can go and watch that whole game on KZfaq if u truly want to witness the match, I was a teen watching that game not even a Brazilian supporter and I felt humiliated a lot of things didn’t work out for them,they didn’t have Neymar and Silva which was a huge loss but it’s really bad to lose that much at home, honestly could’ve been more goals,Germany took their foot off the gas after the 6th goal.

When even your own public starts cheering for the opposite team, you know you REALLY f.d up, lol.

Neymar pretty much carried the team through the tournament and when he got injured there was a very special atmosphere. You had the impression that Jesus have died and all hope was lost. The other players then thought that they have to prove that they can win without Neymar. So they started the game with a very offensive mentality and approach, trying to overrun Germany. After the 0:2 the players complettely lost their cool and tried to force it, leaving an unorganized and confused rest defence alone against the well organized german pressing scheme. At this point the game was just over and the only question left how high Brazil will lose. They tried even harden in the second half and were lucky that Löw told his players to slow down. Otherwise the game would've ended with a double diggit score for Germany.

Everyone knew where and what they were doing when this was happening. I remember my dad who doesn't even watch football asking repeatedly what's happening

Comment from a German: We are able to have empathy with the brasilian side - no one of us would trample on a opponent already laying on the floor. A real sportsman shows always respect. To the reason why this happens: very easy - too much pressure was loaded on brasils national team. Everyone awaited a great victory in Brasil - the expectance was that playing at home the team would win the cup. With this victory the brasilian wanted to overcome all the misery in their country. All problems should be forgotten in an act of national triumph. So 200 Million Brasilians were sitting at the TV and expected nevertheless than a wonder. The players knew it - the pressure was to big - they was doomed to fail under this circumstances.

To this day… when something is about Brazil you see people writing…BRA71L

They just thought they had to turn up to win it!

Still hurts to this day. Also can’t watch anything about that day. Idk why

Absolutely dumbfounding. It was like when the Marlins blitzed the Cubs in Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS. From 3-0 up entering at the top of the 8th inning, to entering the bottom of the 8th down 8-3. Game’s over just like that

Watching at that time after the 2:0 I thought that the Brazilian players had a nervous breakdown

Sorry, but Brasil was not the team of the world cup before that game, it was actually Germany and Brasil was only a higher rating, because of the home advantage But I believe, most Germans didn't want to play against Brasil, as we didn't want to beat Brasil at home, at least friends of mine and myself felt that way Even though it was one of the greatest wins ever, I think most Germans felt proud , but also a little bit ashamed, to be the ones who humiliated Brasil on their home turf

You could have watched the highlights it would be more fun because it is raw emotions. Anyways great reaction brother 💪

The presenter of the video really builds a false narrative about the teams' respective forms going into the game. Brazil had really scraped through games against average teams with unconvincing performances, including penalties in the last 16. Germany had beaten one of the top international teams (France) in the quarter final and had played great football in the group stage, easily looking the best team in the tournament at that stage. And for about a decade before this they had been threatening to win the world cup as consistently one of the best teams but just not getting over the line (losing an absolutely classic semi-final to Italy in 2006 for example; one of the best world cup games i've ever watched). Add to that Brazil had lost their influential captain and Neymar, their only world class creative player, who they relied on so heavily the team treated his absence from the game like a funeral... and for me watching at the time it was more a case of "how can Brazil possibly win this" rather than "Brazil should win". Really, the ONLY thing Brazil had in their favour was home advantage... granted that was a pretty big factor but they were also mentally weak and feeling the weight of expectation where the Germans were strong with a great team spirit. I don't generally gamble but i was strongly tempted on this game because the aura of Brazil had really blinded many people to how unimpressive this Brazil team actually was and I strongly fancied Germany. Of course, no-one expected it to go like THAT with that scoreline but trust me, non-casuals, people who really followed the game and had actually watched the two teams games leading up to this regarded Germany as the strong favourites: the only factor was if they would freeze in front of the Brazillian crowd... and of course they didn't. The shock was only the actual scoreline and the way Brazil just collapsed mentally in real time, in a way I have honestly never seen at that level of the game with a country of that pedigree - THAT was the shocking, memorable thing... NOT the result, to anyone who actually watched the tournament to that point with any kind of perceptiveness.

It happened because we had the by far best team in the world back then. Only Brazilian bandwagons weren’t expecting it

If ur looking into Brazil should react to the Brazilian ronaldo r9 his career and highlights injury cost him a place in the goat debate

I've seen a fake video in which the bransilian players were removed. The point is that the moment of the germen players seems to be natural. That was really irretating.

React to Costa Rica getting to quarter finals for the first time at 2014 wc

To put it in context, Brazil had a big name but wasn't a good Team at this time. Them "surviving" the groupstage was lucky. On the other hand germany was extremly good. They were third Place in 2006 and 2010 world cup and second in the Euro 2008 and half finalist 2012. Germany was by far the expected winner of this game. That it would be this high scoring Game was of course a surprise. But it was highly deserved and even a bit humble as germany stopped playing their a game in the second half.

Watching it live, as a neutral, was sad, in the first half it was fun because of a lot of goals and because it was Brazil, they probably could cope back, but the first goal of the second half buried that possibility :/

If you want to see something real good, you need to see Mario Götzes Final Goal against Argentina.I still look at it if im sad😌

I always wonder what was going through Löws mind after the fifth goal and during the halftime break. Germany was 5-0 up, everybody thought the game was done and dusted. No way the Brazilians could get get back into this game, regardless how much skill their players might have. Right? Not so quickly please. In the qualifiers for this World Cup tournament Germany played against Sweden at home and they were up 4-0 at halftime. Solid and convincing display. Quite a similar story but on home soil and against a supposedly weaker opponent. In the second halftime Sweden scored quickly, and from that moment Germany started to fall apart. Sweden actually scored three more goals, Germany none, so after being up 4-0 at halftime the final result was a 4-4 draw. I'm sure Löw remembered that game against Sweden during halftime so finding the right tone and words to address his players must have been difficult. You do not want to humiliate your opponent in front of their fans but you also want to secure the game. So Löw told his players to remain focused and play seriously on the pitch, as if they would do in a tight game. Anyone he considered not sufficiently focused would find himself on the bench in the final. And nobody wants to sit on the bench when they have the chance to play for the biggest trophy in world football. On the other side Brazil are the World Cup record winner, taking the trophy back home five times, with countless legendary players throughout the decades. They usually have the most skilled players and no other country has so many players playing abroad as Brazil. Every European heavyweight club like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus, Milan, Inter, Benfica, Porto etc. has at least one Brazilian player in their history who is considered a club legend. Brazilian clubs like are well known worldwide and btw. the German jersey against Brazil resemble the style and colors of one of their biggest clubs, Flamengo FC, and are a respectful nod to Brazilian football. That's how huge Brazil is in world football. This 2014 Brazilian team certainly wasn't the most skilled one, compared to former squads but they had the advantage of playing at home. Most teams get a boost by playing at home and they do better than expected. But this is Brazil. Anything less than winning the World Cup on home soil would be considered a failure and a huge disappointment. So was playing at home really an advantage for them? In hindsight I think it was more of a burden for them. If expectations equal the maximum you can achieve the risk of getting disappointed becomes huge. Players need to handle that immense public pressure and in the semifinal against Germany it became obvious that Brazilian players were overwhelmed by that pressure. Even experienced players like David Luiz, Marcelo or Julio Cesar who played at ambitious European clubs were not able to convert this pressure into energy. They all looked like someone soaked all their energy out of them and this is reflected in the result of this game.

Brazil still hasn't really recovered

simple dude, it was done by prime messi's papa, he did papa to ronaldo, brazil and argentina in that world cup even at the 2010 world cup he did some papa to maradona and messi :P, in a serious note that was the scariest world cup national team that had ever performed in a world cup, their stats are scary to look at. till this day some of the players from that generation are still active like manuel nouer(greatest goalkeeper ever) and thomas muller are still active in bayern munich FC, tony kross an active legend of real madrid while the rest are mostly retired.

Well, why don't you watch the actual 20 minutes when all of this happened. It can be found in full on KZfaq. It is truly unbelievable. Similarly historical is the five goals scored by Lewandowski in only ... 9 minutes. After coming in as a sub. Also available in full on KZfaq.

I think germany let the one goal for brazil in, just to leave in pieces brasil haha

u have to see the actual footage

The reason why Brazil lost this badly can be summerazid into two words: David Luiz his lack of leadership. his incredle lack of professionalism. his egotism. his unbelievable bad plays. He was pretty much directly responsible for half of the goals.

Not Having Tiago Silva was huge loss to Brazil . The coach should have changed tactics after 3-0.

watch the highlights of the game!

I love this game ^^ im german

As a German, that one goal for Brazil still bothers me. I would've liked a 6-0 better.

Brazil has such a rich football history..that’s the place to start?😅I’m from Germany so ok..but...

It really was one of the most brutal if not the most brutal things I've ever witnessed in sports!

It's not a happy game to watch for a German . The Brasilians have made huge errors in the left midfield and defense. They had built their team around one superstar and there was no way to replace him after a brutal foul. The tragedy was the mental breakdown of the team. That has never happened before on the highest level professional football. Nobody was prepared for that. What was the right thing to do? Stop the match? Let the team win? But wouldn't that be even more humiliating ?

I dread to think how much damage a result like this could do to US soccer, if it happened at the 2026 World Cup. If it could happen to Brazil, it could happen to anyone.

You are starting to gradually look like Messi with that beard lol.

the game should have ended15 to 1or 2

The viewers got what they deserved. Always sing the anthem at the beginning to celebrate yourself excessively and delay the kick-off - without any respect for the opponent. The spectators at the Olympic Games in Rio were even worse. When at least one Brazilian was involved, the opponents were booed and insulted. Rio was really the worst I have ever seen at an international sporting event in terms of spectators.

React to Neymar Jr Highlights (the third best of the generation just behind Messi and Cr7)

you should watch it

Please watch the game

dont talk about, see it

Watch the real thing and the emotions of the brazilian fans here on youtube, not that!

Diego Maradona • Why is he the best Ever • Ultimate Skill video From "O Bola Nas Costas" (thats the tittle and channel).......... Corey.. that is the best maradona video in ALL YT.. BOOKED. in this video show in 30 minuts passing 4,5 people like messi but in that time referi have no merci DEFENDERS KILLS HIMS and (very rare material to), i see all his videos in yt hard maradona and messi fan, and i know for facts what i am talking about.. i ma messi fan for the beggins his career and (even messi says always..) maradona is the goat in peaks termins (see the video for yourself and compare to messi.. is messi in the 80s 90´s literally) but no consistent like 50 goals per seasson like messi (but they have the same dribble and magic is the only two players above the rest TRUST ME SEE THIS VIDEOS A BOOM.. the jaw is gonna drop u because have thats rare skills videos

(at 0-5) Scoring 5 in an international is common - international football is generally of a poor standard compared to premier league or champions league, with teams of the best players in the world coming up against players who play in english lower divisions or poor 2nd / 3rd tier domestic leagues like the czech top division. Scoring 5 in the knockout stages of a world cup is amazing, more so in a semi-final, and more so against the home team and more so when that team is brazil. Insane. The first match I ever went to my team went 1-0 down and we were 2-1 up at half time. We then went 2-3 down before scoring 3 more and winning - highlights are on youtube if you want some mid 80s english first division (as the top tier in england was called back then) highlights. 1-7 to germany was 100 times more insane than my first game i went to!

How about watching the actual match highlights? Or lowlights, from Brazil's point of view: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6tkdcd6tZzGppc.html

You cant even say the name of FLUMINENSE right

What's the point of a video like this? Just watch the match.

love this memory
