The debacle of Brazilians in the semifinals of World Cup from Germans is still a subject number one in football world. Team of Joachim Loew blew with 7:1 team led by Luis Felipe Scolari, and the result was the reason that the World Football Federation (FIFA) revealed some interesting data.

For example, Brazil only once before received seven goals. It was back in 1934., in a friendly match when the score was 8-4 to Yugoslavia. Except Brazilians (by negative) in the annals also entered the Germans by positive. No team has given seven goals in the semi-finals of the World Cup. The previous record was six. Also, Loev’s “company” has hit another record high. Triumph over the Brazilians was the largest goal difference in the semifinals. Before it was five goals.

The Germans in the first 45 minutes gave five goals, and it worked so far only to Yugoslavia and Poland. Yugoslavia in 1974. 9:0 beat Zaire (halftime 6-0), and Poland in the same championship in West Germany Haiti with 7:0. At half time it was 5-0.

Furthermore, there are several interesting facts. GS Thomas Miller was the 2000th in the history of the German national team. Firstborn for “elf” was a Fritz Becker in April in 1908. The Germans then against Swiss won 5-3. As for the Brazilians, in the semifinals of the World Cup last time they lost in 1938., out of Italy 2-1.
