To My Dear Brazil Fans !! Germanys 7-1 humiliation of World Cup hosts Brazil sees the record books rewritten!!!!!!!!!! Worst loss in Brazil history The 7-1 scoreline was equal to the worse defeat in the history of Brazilian football. The Selecao were beaten by 6-0 by fellow South Americans Uruguay in 1920 - nearly a century ago. By contrast, Spain only scored eight goals during the entire tournament to win the 2010 World Cup. Most World Cup goals Germany have now scored 221 World Cup goals, to move one ahead of their hapless opponents as the tournaments highest ever scorers. Heaviest World Cup semi-final defeat No other team has ever scored seven goals in the semi-finals of the World Cup, but Germanys six goal victory equalled the heaviest semi-final defeats in the tournaments history, which were: 6-1 West Germany Austria 1954 6-1 Uruguay Yugoslavia 1930 Most goals conceded by Brazil at World Cup It was also the first time that Brazil had conceded more than five World Cup goals since 1938, although on that occassion they managed to comeback to beat Poland 6-5 after extra-time. Furthermore, Brazil have not let in seven goals at home... ever! Brazil have conceded eight in a game before during a 8-4 friendly defeat to Yugoslavia on 3 June 1934. Most goals scored against the World Cup host nation Brazil is the SECOND host team to let in seven goals in a World Cup match, following Switzerlands 5-7 defeat to Austria in 1954. The next highest was Brazil who managed to score five against hosts Sweden in 1958 during a 5-2 victory. All-time record goalscorer at World Cup Miroslav Klose added salt to Brazilian wounds by netting his 16th goal at the World Cup finals to move clear of Ronaldo as the competitions all-time leading scorer. Muller scores Germanys 2,000th goal Thomas Müller could yet take home the Golden Boot after moving to within a goal of Colombias James Rodriguez after opening the scoring with his fifth strike, which also happened to be Germanys 2,000 in history of Die Mannschaft. Fastest brace in World Cup history Toni Kroos first-half double, which came in just 69 seconds, was the fastest brace in the history of the competition. Fastest four goals scored in World Cup history Joachim Lows side scored four goals in the space of six minutes (from 23 to 29). That has never been done in World Cup history. Brazils second heaviest defeat was probably the only other match that could compare in the misery stakes, despite it being a friendly, since it came against arch rivals during a 6-1 hammering in 1940. Germanys highest half-time lead After their opening blitz, Germany achieved their highest half-time lead in a World Cup game. Their previous best was 4-0 against Saudi Arabia at the 2002 tournament, which eventually saw them record their greatest win with an 8-0 victory. Only three teams have previously trailed by five goals at half-time: Zaire (1974), Haiti (1974)... and Brazil (1938). Most goals scored in a World Cup semi-final No other team has ever scored seven goals in the semi-finals of the World Cup, and may never do so again.
