The dreams of Brazilian football fans have been left in
tatters as Germany beat the host nation 7-1 in the World Cup semi-final.
Spectators inside in The Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte along with
the millions of others watching the horror show unfold around the
country were left in tears as their side succumbed to the humiliating
defeat, ending hopes of a title on home soil. As the team, led by a
distraught David Luiz (bottom left), walked off the pitch, they were
booed following the performance which equalled Brazil's biggest ever
defeat and the heaviest ever loss in a World Cup semi-final. Four goals
in the space of just seven first-half minutes, started by Thomas Muller
(centre) silenced an entire nation. Fans in Berlin (top right) met the
result with contrasting emotions as they celebrated the victory outside
the Brandenburg Gate.
