BBC FIFA World Cup 2014 - Reaction to Brazil's humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany 

The last time a German group packed their bags this quickly, they were escaping to Argentina.

*Brazil:* Dealing with massive COVID outbreaks, a failing economy, and a political crisis. *RU-vid algorithm:* Let's cheer them up with this gem from 2014.

Brazil had Neymar, Argentina had Messi, Netherlands had Van Persie and Germany had a TEAM

Fun facts about this match: A key factor to Brazil's humiliation was Captain Thiago Silva's suspension for collecting too many yellow cards and Star Player Neymar's injury in the previous match, giving Brazil a significant handicap. Brazilian player Fred, who had already underperformed throughout the World Cup, became one of the most heavily criticized players after this match. When he was subbed off the fans would boo whenever the camera filmed him. The darkest moment for Brazil at this match was from the 23rd to 29th minute, where the Germans pummelled Brazil with 4 goals in 6 minutes (Klose with one, Kroos with two in quick succession, and Khedira with another one). After the first half, with Germany leading 5-0, the German players decided they didn't want to humiliate Brazil (so much for that plan), playing much less aggressively and tuning down goal celebrations in the second half. Still didn't stop them from scoring two more goals though. *And my favourite fact:* The football rivalry between Brazil and Argentina is so intense that, despite being utterly annihilated by them in this match, Brazilian fans still went to cheer for Germany against Argentina in the final.

Went to pee 2-0 came back 5-0 . True story

As a german I still remember we watched the game in a pub. The waiter gave out a shot for everyone whenever germany scored. Half of the pub was drunk by the sixth goal. Good times.

Neymar: Thank you Jesus, for injuring me at the right time. Amen.

Those people who had watched the match knows that Germany could score more than 7, they could score nearly 10 or 12 but they show mercy after seeing Brazil people crying and after that they were just defending instead of attacking for goal

i met a German couple in a bus . we start talking and i said brazil will win because of that and this and that . and they laughed . 1 day later after the game i remember only their laugh . everytime i watch this i remember their laugh .

This match makes people cry for any of these reasons: Joy [German] Despair [Brazil] Laughter [Mostly anyone else]

germany 2014: *wins against brazil* germany 2018: *loses to south korea*

Blitzkrieg is a hell of an attack.

Brazillian mom: you slept alot, wake up, it's 8! Brazillian son: what? They're still scoring?

The entire Brazilian nation: **literally crying their eyes out** The Germans: 😐

"I just want to bring happiness to these people" If you're referring to the Germans, you're 100% correct!

As a German, let me tell you, we also went through a mixed bag of feelings: from happiness to disbelief, back to happiness, to second-hand embarrassment and pity, mild annoyance about the Brazilian goal, back to happiness mixed with a twinge of guilt. What a ride it was.

Brazil: “well at least Argentina didn’t win the World Cup”

I bet the germans packed their stuff real quick after the match

Brazil surely lost the game 7-1 at home in WC semis but not a single German supporter was reported to be harmed. This reflects Brazilians truly respect the game of football. Unlike the nation where both the semis and the final of EURO 2020 was held. Love to Brazil from a proud German supporter. ❤️

I am half Brazilian/half British. I remember well that day in the stadium because I was there. There was never any bad feelings from us towards Germans. Just disappointment with our own team! We Brazilians actually started supporting Germany after Brazil’s shameful defeat.

Germany definetely had the High Ground that day...

Well, it could have been worse. If it had been Argentina who did this to Brazil, it could have triggered an actual war.

Whatever happens I will always support my favourite “Brazil” forever.. Love to Brazil 🇧🇷 from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Wasn’t into ‘soccer’ (football/futbol - yes I’m American) much but I remember this day in particular, I decided to check up on some of the games to see what was up because this event only happens every couple of years. The absolute destruction I witnessed had me in shock and I wondered if this was normal for your typical game, it was not. Needless to say I became a fan of Germany by the end of it. Edit: and the memes were funny

Brasil: We got absolutely destroyed by Germany France 1940: First time?

Trainer: What technique do you want to try in this game today? German Team: Blitzkrieg

This was the first World Cup I’ve ever seen in my life. I watched it with my mum and her then-boyfriend from the Netherlands, which we decided to support since England failed to qualify. I’ll never forget her complete and utter disbelief seeing Brazil, the other team she was supporting, getting absolutely bodied by Germany to point of leaving the room. I, a kid at that time, could only continue to watch the match in confusion and interest. Probably the most surreal and unforgettable watch of my childhood, and also a lot of nostalgia for me. Also this World Cup is turning 10 years old holy crap.

́Brazil ppl: Extremely sad ́Everyone: Laugh instensely

David Luiz: I just wanted to bring happiness to these people. German fans: You did that task very well.

The term *"9/11"* is considered a taboo in the US, since it's a really sensitive matter. Here in Brazil, it's *"7-1".*

The team was not mentally prepared for the tournament and it really surprised me that Scolari never included senior players like Kaka and Robinho in the squad. Honestly, even if there is Neymar and Thiago Silva, they would have still lost but not by a huge margin. The Germans were a well-oiled unit and they are totally patient and technical in their playing.

Soccer is also psychological. Once you score a goal the other team gets confidence and play better while the other team is under pressure to do better

Not even a russian winter could stop this blitzkreig.

“Why do you get so angry over video games it’s just a video game” those same people:

to this day I remember watching this game I was 10 years old and I was watching it in shock. I was so ready to win I was with all my other Brazilian family and friends and we were all gathered together watching. After the first 3 goals I was pretty sad but I thought we could make a come back. After they scored 2 more the realization set in that we were going to loose badly in our own home. Broke my heart so bad

Brazil: 'Facing many problems at present' RU-vid: Hey, remember that time you were humiliated in front of the whole world?

Germany on that day summarized: First three goals : " YAAYYY!!" 4th goal: "Yayy..?" every goal after that: "...(what the, I don't even) "

David luiz was the biggest clown in that game. Just watch the highlights. Most goals are due to Luiz playing too much attack

That is the all time worst performance that I have ever in my entire life seen and witnessed by the Brazil National Football Team. Absolutely embarrassing.

Brazilian kid: "Teacher, why does the history book skip the year 2014?" Teacher: **crying** "I dont want to talk about it."

Countries when they think of horrible moments USA: 9/11 Poland: Holocaust Brazil: 7-1

I am an Indian whose country didn't play in world cup but I cried that night for our favourite team Brazil.

David Luiz made the rest of the world smile with his defending. He made us all laugh.

I remember my dad went out to get cigarettes when the score was 1-0. It's now seven years later and he still hasn't come back.

Brazil team: Let’s make history! *Loses to Germany 7-1* Well, we did made history. But not what we intended.

I remember seeing it on tv, i saw it with other kids, we all come from a latin community, mostly from Argentina, and there was only one girl that her father is from Brazil and we all laughed when they lost and she started crying and yelling at us that her father is probably at home braking the furniture 😂😂

Now German eliminated in group stage twice in a row

As a Brazilian I can say that to this day (7 years later) we still refer to a 7-1 when we are talking about any kind of humiliating defeat.

Every country: haha Brazil is gonna slap Germany Germany:hold my Brezel

if a football team losing is "the worst thing you have ever seen" and/or "the worst day of your life", you live a charmed life.

Omg..this moment i will remember and never forgot

Why is this suddenly recommended to me? I clicked without hesitating though

The funniest thing is that the Brazilians thought they were gonna win easily

I remember this day so vividly!

I remember watching this on tv live, it was EPIC! Total shock! And the memes that followed, legendary!

as a german, this was by far the best soccer game i have ever watched. my dad was in a pub with friends and he said himself that the first 2-3 goals, everyone cheered, and then all the rest of the goals after those ones, the mood went from ecstatic to shock.

I remember this one. This wasn't a match this was a massacre

And they lost to Croatia today 🤷‍♀️ everyone deserves a chance to win. Can't always be Brazil

I was outside doing stuff when this match was live. Every place I went had a tv on. Went to a store... one goal. Went to retrieve some sushi... more goals... Went to a convince store, another goal. Came back home... more goals. I thought I was in a twilight zone episode.

*German anthem plays* Brazil: Why do I hear boss music?

I was on a flight when this game was happening, the pilot had radioed ahead and came onto to the PA to tell us the score was 7-1, absolutely nobody believed him. 😂

I was in Germany at the time of this match. In a pub exactly with my mates. The pub owner gave out free pints to everyone whenever there's a goal. There were about close to a thousand people in that pub (outdoors as well). Good times. Sadly that pub went bankrupt the following week.

Let’s face it: even if Neymar and Thiago Silva played, Brazil still would’ve lost. Like PSG vs Bayern 2020.

RU-vid remembered this moment from 7 years ago and wants to share it with all of us now

For me as a German fan, this quickly turned from "YEAH, WE'RE WAY AHEAD AGAINST BRAZIL!!!" to "Oh... Yeah no, that's... That's too much..."

Germany 2014: wins World Cup Germany 2018: loses to South Korea 🇰🇷 Germany 2022: loses to Japan 🇯🇵 Lesson, never let Germany 🇩🇪 play an Asian team Germany 2026??

This is the Brazilian equivalent of 9/11

As a brazilian who doesn't like football, i remember laughing at this so much i started tearing. Then they made the 6th goal, the laughing stopped, the tears didn't

RU-vid: "Wanna see some people suffering" Me: "Meh, I've got 3min"

so this why my brazillian friend got angry when ask him 7-1=?

It is a fact that Germans still watch this game to overcome bad times

USA:9/11 JAPAN: HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI BRAZIL:7-1

Score: 7-1 Views (right now): 7.1 million Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Great thing is youtube keep recommending this old video to everyone so all can laugh and never forget.

I was so delighted by this

The funniest part is that they had to put an f**ing SCROLLBAR on the scoreboard to list the goals LMAO

RU-vid and Brazil get into an argument Brazil insults RU-vid RU-vid: I will bring back those old videos😂😂😂

When Germany had a good team.

Even now, 7 years later, I simply cannot comprehend what I witnessed.

2014 - Brasil fans crying 2015 - forget everything 2016 - just a normal year 2017 - again a normal year 2018 - Neymar rolling 2019 - (RU-vid) bring this video to everyone's recommendation. Brasil fans crying. Edit: 10th May, 2021. Again youTube recommended me this video! Why RU-vid? I've already got more than 5.5thousands likes!! I don't deserve this!

I remember Müller commenting on the goals he made during an interview: "Every goal was better then the one before" or "It was so awesome, so i shot another one." mans a unit XD

Remember watching this while in Germany Favourite team was playing and we celebrated so hard that day

As an indian brazil football fan this made me cry too

How to count to 7 in: German: Eins, Zwei, Drei, Vier, Fünf, Sechs, Sieben English: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven Brazil : Müller, Klose, Kroos, Kroos, Khedira, Schürle, Schürle

You don't see so much crying at a funeral....Oh wait.

I am a Mexican and I support Brazil i’m so sorry this happened to you brazil you’re one of my favorite countries to play soccer

Thanks for uploading.

You know what makes this even funnier? To know that this game alone scarred brazilians so hard that today we have a term used to acknowledge defeat "Todo dia um 7-1 diferente" which translates to "Everyday has a different 7-1".

7up was not sold Brazil for a while after this 🤔

I WAS THE HAPPIEST HUMAN BEING ALIVE WHEN BRAZIL LOST. MY HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER WHO BULLIED ME WAS BRAZILIAN. SHE CLAIMED BRAZIL WAS GOING TO WIN AND I WASN'T GOING TO GRADUATE. BUT SHE WAS WRONG AS FUCK!!!!.

Oh man I remember this. Back then I was still a humble sophomore at my college. Good times.

Imagine crying over a game: proceeds to destroy his controller because of CoD

For those who don't watch football: this is the equivalence of the neighbouring dad cranking your lawn mower on the first pull, in front of your wife and children.

I really felt so sorry for all of the good people of Brasil, that time. I so wanted them to win this World Cup tournament!!

That day, Germany had an unstoppable and focused TEAM and Brazil had no answer to that and it was amazing to watch how quickly and how comprehensively the Brazilian players fell to pieces in disbelief.

Me: on a horror movie and anime binge RU-vid: wanna see Brazil get slaughtered in football?

"It just game, why you gotta be mad?" -Legendary Hockey Player.

I like how this is still being talked about TO THIS DAY :D

The fact that this video got more view than the highlights of this match explains a lot 😂
