Check the replay of the 4th goal if you want some high-end crying (warning, it is a child...with glasses)

 

that was a child?

The one that was a child was a child, yes.

I was in a meeting and missed the first half of the game, what'd I miss?

 

OH DEAR GOD

Ditto. Wow. Don't know that I've ever checked the liveblog of a match and seen three consecutive entries saying simply, "Goal!", evidently with no time to elaborate. Can't wait to watch the onslaught on replay.

hahaha, I was picturing the woman that looked like she saw a relative shot. Didn't see the kid. That's unfair.

Which Brazilian gets sent off first:

 

-Marcelo

-Luis

-Fernandinho

 

Has to be Marcelo.

 

EDIT: With Ramirez coming on and Fernandinho coming off, just swap Ramirez in. He's definitely the No. 2 favorite.

 

Exactly Marcelo has to be the overwhelming favorite.

LOL.

The scrolling goal tally with names and minute marks is a nice touch.

I think the last time I was this stunned by a soccer game was when Bayern beat Barcelona 4-0 in the UCL last year and then followed it up by winning 3-0 in Spain a week later.

MOAR GOALS

Only 5 teams have scored more goals in this World Cup than Germany did today.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

And all merged into one: http://i.minus.com/i8Noum4fZjDPV.gif Stick around and spy the German fan at the very end. Ballsy.

Brazil, this is what the 8th inning of the NLCS felt like for us.

 

Nah, Brazil was never in this.

 

To be equivalent to Game 6, Brazil would be up 3-1 with 7 minutes left. A streaker would run on the field and the goalie would go nuts over the stoppage in play. Brazil would then give up a self-goal on a corner kick, followed by another goal 45 seconds later. Germany would score three in extra time to bury their dreams

Oh and Brazil would have not won the World Cup since 1930.

Clear Coca Cola advert.

[shnsajax]

I wish Luiz had connected on the attempted kick on Müller. The death of Brazilian football is now a much bigger story than the death of tiki-taka.

No Aguero or di Maria for Argentina.

[shnsajax]

No Aguero or di Maria for Argentina.

 

And RVP and De Jong are starting for Holland.

[shnsajax]

About as tame of a first half as you could expect.

[Guest]

No shots for either Robben or RvP through 75 minutes.

[USSoccer]

Nice PK, Vlaar...

[wolf stansson]

Always let your defender take the fist PK. I mean never.

Seriously. Why teams let central defenders take PKs in the first 5 I'll never know.
