:00:35. > :00:41.And then there were four. It is a World Cup semifinals and first up,
:00:42. > :00:44.two side who have lifted a trophy eight times between them. Brazil
:00:45. > :00:51.take on Germany who have got three of those golden stars above their
:00:52. > :01:00.badge. In Belo Horizonte, Martin Keown and Steve Wilson. This is a
:01:01. > :01:05.long way from being the most beautiful of the World Cup venues.
:01:06. > :01:09.It is a big, old bearpit of a ground but utterly thrilling and
:01:10. > :01:13.spectacularly noisy. Brazil are without their superstar and their
:01:14. > :01:17.captain. The last time they started without both the personal and Neymar
:01:18. > :01:21.was the quarterfinal of the last World Cup, when they lost to the
:01:22. > :01:30.Dutch. Neymar had started every game is that defeat. Brazil tried to get
:01:31. > :01:48.Thiago Silva were second yellow card overturned, but failed. Barnard, a
:01:49. > :01:53.local favourite, is in for Neymar. The captain for the ninth time of
:01:54. > :01:58.his country is David Luiz, in the absence of Thiago Silva. And the
:01:59. > :02:03.referee is Marco Rodriguez of Mexico. It is his first game since
:02:04. > :02:11.the Uruguay against Italy match in Nepal, a vote of confidence in him
:02:12. > :02:16.from FIFA after he missed that Luis Suarez bite. Germany have reached
:02:17. > :02:22.the semifinal or better in 12 of the last 16 Gold cups but they have
:02:23. > :02:26.never beaten Brazil in a competitive game. One World Cup, two
:02:27. > :02:30.Confederations Cup defeats. Jo Kim Lowe takes unchanged team from that
:02:31. > :02:41.which beat France in the quarterfinal. Miroslav Klose, his
:02:42. > :02:49.23rd World Cup finals match. He is on 15 goals. He breaks one record
:02:50. > :02:58.already, becoming the first player ever to play an four World Cup
:02:59. > :03:06.semifinals. Fantastic atmosphere, inside this stadium. The third World
:03:07. > :03:14.Cup semifinal for Luiz Felipe Scolari. The first one with
:03:15. > :03:20.Portugal. And Germany in their change strip, the red and black
:03:21. > :03:32.hoops, actually the kit of the Rio club, Flamengo. Martin Keown is
:03:33. > :03:41.alongside me, what do you think? I cannot wait, two of the big boys of
:03:42. > :03:46.world football. Ever any player wanted to be captain more men among
:03:47. > :03:59.else, it is him. He's loving it. What an arena, what an occasion. Who
:04:00. > :04:04.is heading to the Mara Kanawa? They must be hungry there, to welcome
:04:05. > :04:09.their team. Will they get the opportunity will it be Germany
:04:10. > :04:17.through to the final again? A horribly long pause for the players
:04:18. > :04:20.to sit and well and the man on the touchline in a FIFA Blazer has his
:04:21. > :04:26.arm raised, and no one can do anything before his arm drops, and
:04:27. > :04:28.drop it does. And Germany get the first of the semifinals under way,
:04:29. > :04:54.kicking from right to left. Yes, it has,
:04:55. > :05:01.it is a Brazilian corner. Yes, Bastian Schweinsteiger
:05:02. > :05:06.coming across. I am not sure that
:05:07. > :05:09.was completely out. The referee just having
:05:10. > :05:33.a word with Fernandinho and he is trying to stand on
:05:34. > :05:46.the toes of Neuer. Dante and Luiz Gustavo both
:05:47. > :06:19.play their football in Germany. It is important that Luiz
:06:20. > :06:26.Gustavo is back today. When the Brazilians arrived
:06:27. > :06:40.at the Estadio Mineirao today, they were all wearing baseball caps
:06:41. > :06:53.saying "Forca Neymar!" That shot did not trouble
:06:54. > :06:55.Neuer. There was some contact their on Luiz
:06:56. > :07:01.Gustavo by Bastian Schweinsteiger. this Brazilian team's
:07:02. > :07:22.composure under pressure. If Germany had broken there, they
:07:23. > :07:53.could've played it wide to Thomas
:07:54. > :07:56.Muller on the right-hand side. I hope we see that again, to see the
:07:57. > :08:10.position that Thomas Muller was in. I think Maicon is a weakness
:08:11. > :08:15.on this right-hand side. It will be interesting to see
:08:16. > :08:17.if they test him. He looked rusty
:08:18. > :08:21.in the last match against Colombia. Brazil have to retreat again
:08:22. > :09:04.for another German throw-in. It is interesting that Joachim Low
:09:05. > :09:06.has gone with the same team that he
:09:07. > :09:10.had last time out. I am not sure how long
:09:11. > :09:15.Miroslav Klose will last for. Miroslav Klose played for just
:09:16. > :09:19.over 60 minutes in the last game. Given away carelessly
:09:20. > :09:59.by Fernandinho. Brazil are not looking very
:10:00. > :10:03.comfortable in possession. They don't look like themselves at
:10:04. > :10:05.times. They have to be brave,
:10:06. > :10:09.deal with the pressure. Their best 45 minutes was
:10:10. > :10:11.in the first half against the Colombians, but they
:10:12. > :10:21.panicked in the second half. He is one of those who has
:10:22. > :10:34.recovered from a sickness. Quite a lot of people who have been
:10:35. > :10:41.travelling a lot around Brazil in the last month, coming
:10:42. > :10:47.from the cold climates in the South, particularly Sao Paulo where it is
:10:48. > :10:55.wet, then coming up north to the humidity, quite a lot
:10:56. > :11:00.of people have got the flu. Thomas Muller is trying to find
:11:01. > :11:32.a way round Dante. The free kick goes the way
:11:33. > :11:42.of Brazil. Marcelo on the left-hand side,
:11:43. > :11:47.he just leaves That is why
:11:48. > :12:01.the free kick was given eventually. Their full-backs are pushing up
:12:02. > :12:03.so high, they are leaving huge It has been
:12:04. > :12:25.a good flowing start to the game. Bastian Schweinsteiger
:12:26. > :12:43.in the right place for Germany. He is looking for a free kick,
:12:44. > :12:52.and he got one. What a promising start to the game,
:12:53. > :13:15.from the standpoint of a neutral! Basically, both teams are saying,
:13:16. > :13:17.we are going to attack Luiz Gustavo is going very deep when
:13:18. > :13:25.they have possession at the back. Just a little nudge on him
:13:26. > :13:39.by Miroslav Klose. I think he is just letting him know,
:13:40. > :13:42.don't take liberties in possession, Sami Khedira doing well,
:13:43. > :14:16.breaking into that channel. Plenty of mistakes
:14:17. > :14:28.in the first ten minutes! A slight nervousness from Brazil,
:14:29. > :14:32.when they are trying to mount Thomas Muller from
:14:33. > :14:46.the corner puts Germany in front! Who picked him up?
:14:47. > :14:54.Nobody! It is a ball that ends up
:14:55. > :14:57.at the far post. To get that kind of space
:14:58. > :15:05.at this level. He makes it look easy,
:15:06. > :15:14.but it is about concentration. The Golden Boot winner
:15:15. > :15:23.from four years ago, Thomas Muller, has put Germany in front
:15:24. > :15:39.in the 2014 semifinal. Now,
:15:40. > :15:44.a big test of Brazilian character. We will see what they are made
:15:45. > :15:59.of now! He has matched his tally
:16:00. > :16:03.of four years ago in South Africa. It will not win the Golden Boot this
:16:04. > :16:07.time around, but it puts him If Brazil are looking for leaders,
:16:08. > :16:23.there is no captain, If they are looking for inspiration,
:16:24. > :16:45.no Neymar. Many people have said it, that
:16:46. > :16:51.this Brazilian team can be beaten. The will of the nation might not
:16:52. > :16:54.be beatable, but the team was. Well, we are just looking at
:16:55. > :17:04.leadership, commanding your own box. I would be embarrassed
:17:05. > :17:06.if I gave my opposite number Was there an elbow there
:17:07. > :17:38.on the Miroslav Klose? Thomas Muller taken out of it
:17:39. > :17:48.by Marcelo. Marcelo knows
:17:49. > :18:00.he needs to take him out. David Luiz goes on a fantastic run,
:18:01. > :18:04.you have to say. Hulk should have done better
:18:05. > :18:19.with the cross, though. They will be looking to David Luiz
:18:20. > :18:21.for inspiration and leadership. Germany are stopping them
:18:22. > :18:25.getting any attacks going. He has been very mixed
:18:26. > :19:02.in this tournament, Hulk. Scolari keeps sticking with
:19:03. > :19:10.his team. Free-kick is taken
:19:11. > :19:21.by Kroos to Khedira. Blocked off
:19:22. > :19:22.by the Brazilian wide man. They are taking the sting out
:19:23. > :19:31.of things. The early signs aren't good
:19:32. > :19:45.for Brazil. Again, he hasn't got the pass
:19:46. > :20:09.into midfield. They fell behind in the first match
:20:10. > :20:12.of this World Cup, Brazil, you will remember,
:20:13. > :20:21.with that own goal in Sao Paulo. I think the Germans are not
:20:22. > :21:14.happy because they thought Lahm's challenge looked
:21:15. > :21:18.inch-perfect from here. The referee instantly indicated
:21:19. > :21:20.a corner and no more. Boateng's reaction was all about
:21:21. > :21:27.the way Marcelo hit the ground. Yeah.
:21:28. > :21:34.It is boiling over a little bit. Look at that
:21:35. > :21:40.for a perfectly-timed challenge. Brilliant challenge
:21:41. > :21:47.from a brilliant player. Brazilian corner played to the
:21:48. > :21:49.near post. Marcelo trying to get Oscar
:21:50. > :22:01.in behind. Bernard goes over, the referee
:22:02. > :22:44.gives nothing, then indicates Germany are so dangerous
:22:45. > :22:57.on the break. It is breaking down far too often
:22:58. > :23:15.on the Brazil left-hand side. Hulk has to improve
:23:16. > :23:23.that ball retention. Credit the Germans
:23:24. > :23:25.the way they are closing down. 66 competitive home matches since
:23:26. > :24:01.Brazil were last beaten on home soil in a match that mattered, back
:24:02. > :24:04.in 1975, Copa America semifinal, I thought he was going to do
:24:05. > :24:33.a Gareth Bale then! Look at Julio Cesar,
:24:34. > :24:43.he has no option. He is running free on the
:24:44. > :25:20.right-hand side in acres of space. No real problem for Julio Cesar
:25:21. > :25:26.there. Don't underestimate Khedira
:25:27. > :25:30.in that move. Ozil was doing
:25:31. > :26:11.his best to get there. He covered 57 kilometres
:26:12. > :26:13.before tonight's match. He's going to break some records
:26:14. > :26:15.because he's got oceans It's found its way through
:26:16. > :26:20.Fernandinho to Toni Kroos. Miroslav Klose is the all-time
:26:21. > :26:37.World Cup record goalscorer. Brazil have a mountain to climb in
:26:38. > :26:42.their own back yard against Germany! He eclipses the phenomenon, as
:26:43. > :27:31.Brazil call him, that was Ronaldo. How do Brazil shake up
:27:32. > :27:55.the unshakeable? At the moment,
:27:56. > :27:58.you look at what he's done in that Germany are completely controlling
:27:59. > :28:07.the match in the middle. Brazil have fallen apart
:28:08. > :28:21.inside 25 minutes! What a finish this is
:28:22. > :28:33.off his left foot. That is as good a finish
:28:34. > :28:53.as you will see. But look at the finish
:28:54. > :29:14.at the end of it. The dreams of 200 Brazilians
:29:15. > :29:17.look like mere fantasy. Blown apart
:29:18. > :29:19.and it is getting embarrassing. It's turned square,
:29:20. > :29:25.it's 4-0 to Germany! Brazil are being humiliated,
:29:26. > :29:39.humbled and taken apart. Their supporters simply cannot
:29:40. > :29:44.believe what they have seen. It is as if without
:29:45. > :29:47.their two main players, it is like The dream,
:29:48. > :30:09.the fantasy is well and truly dead. Stunned into near silence in
:30:10. > :30:34.Belo Horizonte. We were talking about the pressure,
:30:35. > :30:36.is it too much, Germany have been different class,
:30:37. > :30:43.of course. You have to have that strong
:30:44. > :30:46.backbone and it is missing Who is the next player that
:30:47. > :31:04.wants to take that mantle on? It's almost got to
:31:05. > :31:19.the stage where Germany have stopped I don't think they can
:31:20. > :32:04.believe how easy it is. FOUR goals in 15 minutes
:32:05. > :32:11.for Germany. Looking here,
:32:12. > :32:17.whether this is a foul. Hulk's leg dangling
:32:18. > :32:27.like the old fisherman's fly! I'm sure the boys at half-time
:32:28. > :32:31.will have plenty to say. Scolari's team raised a few eyebrows
:32:32. > :32:35.here, Willian on the bench, Ramires, If Scolari could do it again, I'm
:32:36. > :32:47.sure he would pick a different team. Absolutely no discipline,
:32:48. > :34:06.he goes charging out. They have been gifted these
:34:07. > :34:19.opportunities. I am afraid that the dream has gone. It has been blown to
:34:20. > :34:49.smithereens. It is just incredible. Sammy Khedira is having a field day.
:34:50. > :34:58.If you have joined us late, that scoreboard is correct! The
:34:59. > :35:15.scoreboard might open some brackets like they used to do with the old
:35:16. > :35:27.videprinter! They have been shambolic from the moment they fell
:35:28. > :35:30.behind, Brazil. You cannot just put it down to two top players not
:35:31. > :35:42.playing. Every team has had to do without players over the years at
:35:43. > :35:59.some point. He will not be lifting that FIFA Golden Globe. Bodies all
:36:00. > :36:04.of the place, deflection, and Tony Kroos was about to complete a
:36:05. > :36:10.first-half hat-trick. They are so pure, defensively. Everyone is out
:36:11. > :36:41.of position. It is like a testimonial game.
:36:42. > :36:43.There is so much more structure to the German side,
:36:44. > :36:47.Look at Bastian Schweinsteiger, making himself available,
:36:48. > :36:52.I think the emotion of the competition has got them
:36:53. > :37:02.through, but without those players, they will not go on.
:37:03. > :37:03.Thomas Muller complaining to the referee,
:37:04. > :37:18.Tomorrow night on BBC One at 11:45pm,
:37:19. > :37:29.highlights of Argentina against the Netherlands.
:37:30. > :37:31.On Sunday, the final itself, on BBC One from 7pm.
:37:32. > :37:50.Germany are, basically, already there.
:37:51. > :37:52.Toni Kroos is a beautiful passer of the ball.
:37:53. > :38:03.Germany have been efficient, unselfish.
:38:04. > :38:28.They could not have believed it would have been this easy.
:38:29. > :38:35.Thomas Muller is giving him a very heavy look there.
:38:36. > :38:38.It is almost as if it has become so easy they are ignoring
:38:39. > :38:56.The record defeat for Brazil was 6-0 down to Uruguay. They are 5-0 down
:38:57. > :39:11.within 25 minutes here. David Luiz is forced to send that
:39:12. > :39:16.long because nobody is showing Germany are such
:39:17. > :39:51.a well-oiled machine. Has Manuel Neuer got
:39:52. > :40:00.his knees dirty yet? He has made one catch early on,
:40:01. > :40:04.when it was still a game. The biggest ever margin
:40:05. > :40:18.of victory It is almost beyond belief that
:40:19. > :40:30.we are talking about it, but that it is 5-0 after 30 minutes, you do
:40:31. > :40:49.have to start to talk about it! No European team has ever won
:40:50. > :41:06.a World Cup on South American soil. Germany do not look as if they are
:41:07. > :41:27.in the mood to be kind to Brazil. Such good movement from the edge
:41:28. > :41:42.of their box, they are all making runs from deep,
:41:43. > :41:45.sometimes it is Sami Khedira, Brazil are not playing together
:41:46. > :41:50.as a unit at all. They are shell-shocked,
:41:51. > :41:54.look at them. Bastian Schweinsteiger
:41:55. > :42:12.looks very interested. It is Mesut Ozil to over the top
:42:13. > :42:16.of the crossbar. Mesut Ozil might not get
:42:17. > :42:24.the next one! That is probably
:42:25. > :43:16.the worst thing they have done! Shocking scoreline,
:43:17. > :43:23.shocking performance. This is a team that has not lost
:43:24. > :43:28.at home in a competitive fixture They haven't lost at home
:43:29. > :43:34.in any fixture in nearly 12 years! It is hard to believe
:43:35. > :43:52.what we are seeing. They are comfortable in possession,
:43:53. > :44:21.as well. Miroslav Klose's appetite to try
:44:22. > :44:41.and win it back is impressive. He stays
:44:42. > :45:03.on his feet beautifully. He just takes his chance to make
:45:04. > :45:24.the tackle. It looks as if Germany have learned
:45:25. > :45:27.some lessons, maybe the hard way, You fear for Brazil every
:45:28. > :45:43.time Germany get the ball. Germany can counterattack
:45:44. > :46:03.so quickly. That was a bit overconfident by
:46:04. > :46:19.Toni Kroos. We have not seen much from Fred
:46:20. > :46:21.in this tournament. Germany doing simple things well,
:46:22. > :46:48.for the second half. There are a few German players out
:46:49. > :47:01.there who have tasted defeat in the European Championships
:47:02. > :47:39.and the World Cup. Brazil can salvage some time
:47:40. > :47:45.a sliver of self-respect All that they are playing for now
:47:46. > :47:58.his pride. Joachim Low is strolling around
:47:59. > :48:09.his technical area, as if he is walking through a bluebell wood.
:48:10. > :48:22.He has never had so much fun! This German side is ruthless,
:48:23. > :48:37.no sympathy at all. They have their foot
:48:38. > :48:39.on their opponents In the scheme of things,
:48:40. > :48:59.they talk about the great 1992 Brazilian team, saying that they are
:49:00. > :49:02.perhaps the best team that didn't Is this one of the worst teams ever
:49:03. > :49:12.to make the World Cup semifinals? It is looking that way now,
:49:13. > :49:27.isn't it. 1982, such a great team, players
:49:28. > :49:31.like that do not exist in this team. They are so reliant on Neymar
:49:32. > :49:34.and Thiago Silva. It's the worst 45 minutes
:49:35. > :49:39.of football, possibly, Hulk is chasing it and has failed
:49:40. > :50:11.to keep the ball in play. There will be three changes made
:50:12. > :50:13.at half-time. Brazil, vulnerable without
:50:14. > :50:29.their captain. They have been outplayed
:50:30. > :50:41.and are being booed off. They have been humiliated
:50:42. > :50:42.by this German side. At half-time in the World Cup semifinal it is Brazil
:50:43. > :51:06.zero, Germany five. There have been three
:51:07. > :51:10.substitutions at half-time. Martin Keown,
:51:11. > :51:21.have you ever seen a performance it is just
:51:22. > :51:52.about hanging onto some pride now. Good luck scoring three
:51:53. > :52:01.in the second half against Germany! So, Mats Hummels is off,
:52:02. > :52:11.Per Mertesacker is on. There is one of the substitutes,
:52:12. > :52:25.Ramires. This team were occasionally
:52:26. > :52:50.booed by their home supporters. The shot
:52:51. > :52:54.by Ramires is cleared away. Many people thought that Ramires
:52:55. > :52:57.should have been Yes, the one thing he
:52:58. > :53:04.will give you is legs. It was an attacking selection
:53:05. > :53:20.by Felipe Scolari. Rather than that attacking
:53:21. > :53:25.selection, he put a lot of people in the midfield, and it has
:53:26. > :53:31.backfired in some fashion. He has put a lot of faith in Hulk
:53:32. > :53:43.and Fred in this tournament. German free kick,
:53:44. > :54:08.Philipp Lahm to take it. It is hard to say
:54:09. > :54:10.at the moment is the empty seats on the other side of the ground or
:54:11. > :54:14.just people being slow to get back, Jerome Boateng does well
:54:15. > :54:50.when he realises he can get it. The Mexican referee is completely
:54:51. > :54:52.disinterested in that call One of the big differences between
:54:53. > :55:07.the Brazil team this year and the one that won the Confederations
:55:08. > :55:11.Cup last year is the goals that they Fred got five goals
:55:12. > :55:17.in the Confederations Cup, It has all been about Neymar,
:55:18. > :55:24.virtually, in terms of putting Per Mertesacker will be trying to
:55:25. > :55:49.stake a claim for a place Manuel Neuer got a little touch
:55:50. > :56:28.on that. The danger is,
:56:29. > :56:33.when Brazil pile forward in search of some sort of honour
:56:34. > :57:18.from this game, that they could Germany will take pride in a clean
:57:19. > :57:22.sheet. They certainly will. Manuel Neuer is certainly the best
:57:23. > :57:36.goalkeeper in Walford poll. -- world football.
:57:37. > :57:39.Just looking at a replay there, Manuel Neuer, great reactions,
:57:40. > :58:18.He tries to hit it with the outside of his right foot.
:58:19. > :58:58.They are going to approach this in the manner of a team which is
:58:59. > :59:09.giving the impression of one that might get back into this game.
:59:10. > :59:24.They might give themselves problems approaching it like that.
:59:25. > :00:06.Paulinho takes an absolute age to hit that.
:00:07. > :00:09.You get the feeling that Manuel Neuer in the German goal is
:00:10. > :00:23.In our pre-match your vote, 41% of you said that Germany would
:00:24. > :00:58.14% of you now have egg on your face!
:00:59. > :01:02.He thought that was going to hit the back of the net, but, no,
:01:03. > :01:30.They have all the experience in the world with the coaches in the
:01:31. > :01:41.Brazilian dugout, but no one will be able to get them back into this one.
:01:42. > :02:33.Argentina and the Netherlands will be watching closely.
:02:34. > :02:35.It is that old saying, go and win the second half.
:02:36. > :02:46.They have given the ball away carelessly again.
:02:47. > :02:55.That is a great ball back into Thomas Muller.
:02:56. > :03:11.The work rate by Thomas Muller is phenomenal.
:03:12. > :03:12.Manuel Neuer patrolled the area outside
:03:13. > :03:33.He hasn't really needed to do it today, that if he does, he is there.
:03:34. > :04:07.Schurrle is coming on for Miroslav Klose.
:04:08. > :04:12.It gives a much better balance to the team.
:04:13. > :04:25.Extra salt in the wound for Brazil, Reynaldo's record has gone.
:04:26. > :04:53.The top scorers in this tournament are mostly what
:04:54. > :05:17.Number ten is a very important player.
:05:18. > :05:39.Fred should be giving that to Bernard.
:05:40. > :05:42.That is Khedira at his best, the threaded little passes he makes
:05:43. > :05:46.He enjoys getting out on the right-hand side when Muller
:05:47. > :05:57.Julio Cesar manages to get a foot on it.
:05:58. > :06:01.Thomas Muller might have made it six.
:06:02. > :06:15.They have given the ball away so often in such awful areas, Brazil.
:06:16. > :06:25.Schweinsteiger, to Khedira, who scored the fifth.
:06:26. > :06:47.Julio Cesar, that is a wonderful save he makes, on to his left foot.
:06:48. > :07:12.Muller senses there's more goals here.
:07:13. > :07:16.Already he has ten goals in his two World Cup finals appearances.
:07:17. > :07:22.CROWD BOO He had never scored for Germany before the last World
:07:23. > :07:40.Schurrle is coming back to close Bernard down.
:07:41. > :07:50.And the Germans are saying that Maicon should be shown
:07:51. > :08:20.His distribution is slightly off the mark.
:08:21. > :08:47.They are trying to get themselves on the scoreboard.
:08:48. > :08:58.And there is the man whose record he has beaten.
:08:59. > :09:01.I had the privilege to play against him.
:09:02. > :09:09.Comparing Fred to those great strikers.
:09:10. > :09:17.I have to blame Scolari for picking him.
:09:18. > :09:21.If his next best options are Jo and Hulk, perhaps that is why he
:09:22. > :09:32.I thought Hulk might have started down the middle tonight.
:09:33. > :09:40.Maicon gives Dante something to chase.
:09:41. > :09:57.Bernard has kept it in play, but his cross is too deep for Fred
:09:58. > :10:05.Where do the Brazilians go after the humiliation of Belo Horizonte?
:10:06. > :10:08.They go to Brasilia for the third place match and then
:10:09. > :10:15.Germany are doing enough, just seeing it through.
:10:16. > :10:45.The flick on it from Dante, just helped it reach Julio Cesar rather
:10:46. > :11:00.Great movement, a willingness to get forward.
:11:01. > :11:04.Joachim Low is thinking not only can we absolutely batter Brazil here,
:11:05. > :11:08.but we can send out a psychological message to whoever we reach in the
:11:09. > :11:16.Every one of them - this is Howedes, he is working really hard
:11:17. > :11:49.Scolari is going to have to draw names out
:11:50. > :11:51.of a hat to pick a team for the third-fourth-placed play-off.
:11:52. > :11:58.I don't think there will be too many volunteers.
:11:59. > :12:37.CROWD BOO Fred is getting some stick.
:12:38. > :12:39.Luiz trying to play it through to Luiz Gustavo.
:12:40. > :12:43.Schweinsteiger is making a run down the middle.
:12:44. > :12:50.He will let it go to Schurrle and Julio Cesar did ever so well.
:12:51. > :12:53.Taking a leaf out of Muller's book there.
:12:54. > :13:13.Oh and almost on to the chest of Fred!
:13:14. > :13:20.Had Fred got a touch on it, it wouldn't have counted.
:13:21. > :13:39.Julio Cesar did really well for that one.
:13:40. > :13:49.Muller is playing centre forward now and it is
:13:50. > :13:52.He is playing on the last defender's shoulder.
:13:53. > :13:56.If he can get the through ball he is looking for, he will be in.
:13:57. > :14:00.Argentina beat the USA 6-1 in the 1930 semifinal and Uruguay beat
:14:01. > :14:07.Yugoslavia by the same scoreline in the same year and Germany put
:14:08. > :14:18.six past Austria in 1964, so five is the biggest ever margin of victory.
:14:19. > :14:30.Muller made that, he comes off to feet, plays it off.
:14:31. > :14:54.Willian is going to be on shortly for Brazil.
:14:55. > :14:59.Kroos will want one more, he is on a hat-trick.
:15:00. > :15:14.That's six and Andre Schurrle makes it six to Germany and if it stays
:15:15. > :15:23.this way, it is the biggest ever victory in a World Cup semifinal.
:15:24. > :16:01.They have taken off Fred and it was Fred who was the recipient of those
:16:02. > :16:06.And Willian does not look exactly thrilled at the prospect
:16:07. > :16:29.The Brazilian crowd, many of them, are off.
:16:30. > :16:31.The Germans might declare in a minute!
:16:32. > :16:47.Not sure the Brazilians have been third best, let alone second best!
:16:48. > :17:02.He's got that pass in the locker, Kroos.
:17:03. > :17:19.Kroos was just a little bit stationary.
:17:20. > :17:23.Listen to the reaction - that picture is on the big-screen
:17:24. > :17:43.Willian, a little curler, he is well wide.
:17:44. > :17:48.This has been such a happy hunting ground for Fred.
:17:49. > :17:53.He scored 42 goals in 49 appearances in this stadium.
:17:54. > :18:08.And now he's booed every time the camera picks him out on the bench.
:18:09. > :18:16.There are many people in this stadium who have not seen
:18:17. > :18:43.No-one has ever seen them lose like this at home.
:18:44. > :19:16.When it is tight on one side, they go out the other.
:19:17. > :19:22.Germany, for all Brazil's obvious inadequacies, have been excellent.
:19:23. > :19:25.This is a system that other teams can copy.
:19:26. > :19:28.It is not rocket science the way they are playing.
:19:29. > :19:31.That midfield three, Schweinsteiger sits deeper,
:19:32. > :19:37.It is their game management, the way their intelligence and they
:19:38. > :19:56.Germany have become the first team in this World Cup to score six.
:19:57. > :20:12.He will refuse to be beaten if he has anything to say about it.
:20:13. > :20:21.In 2002, Germany scored eight goals against Saudi Arabia.
:20:22. > :20:24.The funny thing is, I think Germany have more in
:20:25. > :20:29.their locker for the final, whoever they will be playing against.
:20:30. > :20:36.They will go into it fresh, having one extra day of rest.
:20:37. > :21:23.Toni Kroos was looking for a give and go to get his hat-trick.
:21:24. > :21:39.They are letting the ball do the work, Germany.
:21:40. > :21:45.Just a little bit too much on that pass by Toni Kroos to Mesut Ozil.
:21:46. > :21:53.Another substitution, Julian Draxler is going to come on.
:21:54. > :22:02.Part of this seeming conveyor belt of German forward players.
:22:03. > :22:08.He has been heavily linked to Arsenal.
:22:09. > :22:19.Julian Draxler will get about 14 minutes of play.
:22:20. > :22:35.He was out with a very bad injury, he was not able to play
:22:36. > :23:19.I think David Luiz is in danger of losing his head.
:23:20. > :23:21.Thomas Muller not happy with the challenge.
:23:22. > :23:23.That all came from when Marcelo, the left-back, give up possession.
:23:24. > :23:31.They are six goals down, how many do they want to lose by?
:23:32. > :24:23.The German fans are swaying from side to side.
:24:24. > :24:50.I'm sure they would like to see a couple more.
:24:51. > :25:11.Everyone of these is just sublime that role.
:25:12. > :25:22.I think the Brazilians have had enough.
:25:23. > :25:26.Unfortunately for them, I don't think the Germans have had enough!
:25:27. > :25:33.They are shaking their heads in disbelief.
:25:34. > :25:38.Applause breaks out around the ground, which is good to hear.
:25:39. > :25:49.It is like watching one of the great Brazilian teams of yesteryear.
:25:50. > :25:55.In this country they know all about good football.
:25:56. > :25:58.The Brazilian fans still in this ground, I would suggest have
:25:59. > :26:00.just stood and applauded the team that has dismantled
:26:01. > :26:12.They know good football when they see it.
:26:13. > :26:19.Germany are one goal away from their biggest ever World Cup
:26:20. > :26:23.That was against Saudi Arabia in 2002, 8-0.
:26:24. > :26:51.Tomorrow night, BBC One, highlights of the second semifinal,
:26:52. > :27:21.Sunny, the first thing that Gerd Muller did there was try to get
:27:22. > :27:24.The World Cup final of 2014, Germany versus either Argentina or
:27:25. > :27:59.Julio Cesar has been beaten seven times in the semifinal.
:28:00. > :28:02.Whatever the state of the game, the Germans do not abuse it,
:28:03. > :28:06.they keep it simple, move it from side to side.
:28:07. > :28:16.The Germans have not missed too many.
:28:17. > :28:22.Almost everything they heads went in.
:28:23. > :28:25.You have to say, David Luiz has pretty much given up
:28:26. > :28:53.The Brazilian fans are actually giving the German team oles.
:28:54. > :29:04.That is ultimate humiliation for the home team.
:29:05. > :29:07.I don't think it gets much more humiliating than when
:29:08. > :29:19.the fans are giving an ole for every pass that the opposition strikes.
:29:20. > :29:22.Look at this fellow Bastian Schweinsteiger.
:29:23. > :29:45.It has been an astonishing World Cup.
:29:46. > :29:49.Every other day that seems to have been a classic game,
:29:50. > :29:54.and unbelievable result, a brilliant story.
:29:55. > :30:05.It will soon be over, what shall we do with our time?
:30:06. > :30:51.In terms of shocking results, this is the daddy of them all.
:30:52. > :31:08.It will be interesting to see what the crowd does on the whistle.
:31:09. > :31:14.Manuel Neuer never took his eye off it.
:31:15. > :31:18.Ramires has had a real goes into came on.
:31:19. > :31:22.You should have started, in my opinion.
:31:23. > :31:34.Manuel Neuer has been the standard goalkeeper of the World Cup.
:31:35. > :31:38.If you want to win anything, you need to have a top, top goalkeeper,
:31:39. > :32:13.If Germany get their skates on, they could be their biggest ever big
:32:14. > :32:17.tree, and match the biggest ever margin of winning at a World Cup
:32:18. > :32:37.A needless collision between Bernard and Manuel Neuer.
:32:38. > :32:47.Again, David Luiz, nowhere near his man.
:32:48. > :33:00.It is very difficult to look beyond Germany now for he is going
:33:01. > :33:30.Magnificent performances by Toni Kroos and Mesut Ozil.
:33:31. > :33:32.Brazilian football will have to go through an intense period
:33:33. > :33:55.His left-back has let him down tonight.
:33:56. > :34:25.Germany have completely owned the semifinal,
:34:26. > :34:35.Surely their best ever performance in a World Cup.
:34:36. > :35:02.I think they will be overriding favourites, I'm afraid.
:35:03. > :35:19.Almost an impossible finish from that angle.
:35:20. > :35:45.A test of character for Brazil, but they have failed abysmally.
:35:46. > :35:57.For once, a German mistake has given the ball to Ramires.
:35:58. > :36:13.That is the one thing missing from his game, Ozil.
:36:14. > :36:16.That ruthlessness, a great run through the middle.
:36:17. > :36:19.You think he is going to be calm - he is.
:36:20. > :36:27.Neuer thought about coming and retreated.
:36:28. > :37:03.At least it's given them something to work on before the final.
:37:04. > :37:18.Everything else has been pitch-perfect.
:37:19. > :37:26.Oscar scores the most pointless of World Cup goals.
:37:27. > :37:30.Two added minutes at the end of the game.
:37:31. > :38:08.I don't think they are singing, "We are going to win 8-7!"
:38:09. > :38:21.The whistle has gone and the referee has said that
:38:22. > :38:28.It's a Brazilian free-kick and that's it.
:38:29. > :38:30.Germany are into the World Cup Final.
:38:31. > :38:40.CROWD BOO Brazil, thoroughly unforgivable performance.
:38:41. > :38:51.Germany, thoroughly unforgettable performance.
:38:52. > :39:16.That is it the night that Brazil's beautiful game died. Deutschland are
:39:17. > :39:21.injuring land. -- It's like a submarine that goes
:39:22. > :39:26.underground. 50 tonnes an hour, in slurry,
:39:27. > :39:31.through this pipe. Start pumping. They might cause a panic
:39:32. > :39:38.of tiles falling off.
