Week 6

Week 6, the Semi finals and all four teams were worthy contenders to win the tournament but out of the two games only one could be chosen as the best! The game in Belo Horizonte contested by the hosts of the tournament Brazil and World Cup stormer's Germany.

Here's how they set out, a lot of amazing world class players on show-

Brazil-

12- Cesar (GK)
4- David Luiz (C)
5- Fernandinho (Paulinho)
6- Marcelo 
7- Hulk (Ramires)
9- Fred (Willian)
11- Oscar
13- Dante 
17- Gustavo 
20- Bernard 
23- Maicon  

Germany- 

1- Neuer (GK)
4- Howedes 
5- Hummels (Mertesacker)
6- Khedira (Draxler) 
7- Schweinsteiger
8- Ozil 
11- Klose (Schurrle)
13- Muller
16- Lahm (C)
18- Kroos 
20- Boateng 

From the start you would have felt the game was going to be a very close encounter with both teams looking very even on paper but how wrong could we all be? It only took 11 minuets for Thomas Muller to open the scoring with a good finish passed Cesar. Germany then took full control of the game and and scored four goals in the space of six minutes, first Klose whose goal made him the record holder for goals scored in World Cup finals, then two goals from Toni Kroos and a rare Sami Khedira goal completely sunk the Brazil team and all the fans broke into tears as they realized the dream of winning the World Cup on home soil was over inside half an hour. In the second half it didn't get any easier for the Brazilians as substitute Schurrle scored twice including a great finish from a tight angle. Oscar then scored a very meaningless goal in the dying moments to put Brazil on the score sheet but it was all  to little to late and the Germans had reached the final.  
Klose scoring his goal to make it 0-2 to the Germans and to give him the record of goals in a world cup final, beating Brazil legend, Ronaldo 







FT: BRAZIL 1-7 GERMANY (YES, 7!)
