You know, I wasn't able to watch the game live but I got periodic updates with scores. Later I watched a 15 minute re-cap of the highlights and that thought absolutely kept coming to mind. There is just no way I can believe it was thrown though. Nobody throws a match that obviously.

I wouldn't be too happy to be in Rio tonight.
The Brazil team got their axes well beat up by the German machine. It was simply no contest at all; extremely painful for all Brazil to watch, and the entire world.
The faster they forget about it the less pain to endure for a long time to come.
But it won't go away and they'll have to find new resources to resurrect the entire Brazilian population; rich and poor.
It is inconceivable that they just let things go that way! ...There was no fight, no team energy, nothing at all but total submission to the Germans.
Now it is up to Argentina to show the world that they know how to play real football, tomorrow. And hopefully it will be a much more competitive match than what we witnessed today.
... Aye yaye yaye yaye aye!

World Cup Angel of Doom Mick Jagger attends Brazil-Germany match, Brazil lose 7-1..........................I knew there was something wrong!:scratch2:
Brasilians fans knew this and were begging Mick Jagger to pick Germany as the favorite, but they were doomed since the beginning......
Now Argentina and Holland are praying that he picks Germany as favorite..

Suggestions of Brasil throwing the match, no they did'nt throw the match. As their coach said on the news...
"“We lost one match to a great team,” Luiz Felipe Scolari, their coach, tried to argue, without success. “Five goals [in 29 minutes] – it was because of their skill, and we respect that.” It went much deeper, to a failure of Brazilian talent, tactics and temperament."
To counteract the lost of their captain and their star player, Scolari changed their lines trying to match the German lines-up, he made a bad choice.
From the get go, the German were too powerful for a badly set-up Brazilian team.

As for the second semi-final for today, Netherlands V Argentina,
if Argentina comes again on the pitch using one player, Messi, the Dutch will have them for breakfast, or is it supper.
On the other hand, if Messi has any support from a couple more players, Di Maria for example, (if available), and one or two more, they might have an outside chance or at least make a game out of it. There is also the state of their defence, at time, very weak, and at other times, quite good...
As in aside...
"FIFA has announced the referee for match 62 of the FIFA World Cup™, the second semi-final between the Netherlands and Argentina. It will be officiated by 37-year-old Cüneyt Çakir from Turkey, and the encounter will be his third match during this competition after Brazil v. Mexico and Algeria v. Russia."

Scolari's response was programmed. The team was stunned. They were standing around from the beginning of the game without any readily visible plan of attack. They were on their heels from the beginning and Germany took advantage of that.
I like the Orange in the next round.

If they did, which I highly doubt, that would have been worst than worst.
No, they were simply not playing football. ...Their defensive was missing in action, somewhere else in the field where they didn't belong.
It's a team work sport effort, and Brazil wasn't working at all.
This has to be the greatest lesson of their life.
You simply cannot expect to be a winning team if you are not playing as one.
The mind and body have to be in sync, and in all the players.
Brazil players were missing that crucial vitality. They let their emotions get the better of themselves, and failed devastatingly.
Now their pride and respect hit a huge blow; can they learn positively from it?
They will, with time, effort, looking straight into their soul. It's all inside themselves, and nobody else.
It's a human lesson, on a grand scale of a grander social value.

I agree with moinau; Argentina has to work as a TEAM. ...Lionel Messi alone cannot win the match.
As for Ángel di María; I'm not even sure about the heeling of his last injury, and if he will be playing today on the field. He's a very strong foundation to his team; the glue.
But with him or without, Argentina has to play their game at the highest level of the sport. One or two guys simply don't make a team; there are eleven of them on the field, including the goalie.
- And watch that referee, Cakir; the biggest yellow card waver of them all.
And with this match, with these two teams, he should have his work well cut out.

It's back to 'normal'. Yesterday was abnormal. ...'Phenomenally' so.
Only a glitch?!? ...Ya, a major glitch I'd say.
* Now back to the game: Go Argentina Go!
