Pretty much the interesting teams are now out of it. The Dutch "total football" has morphed into diving & fouling. Brazil is about the same. Its sad that what use to be two of the most entertaining sides have turned in Italy. Argentina hasn't really played all that well, only doing enough to get by. Without Messi, they'd have been long gone. At this point, with all my teams out, I have to support the Germans. At least they are an honest, footballing side.

Well done, Costa Rica.  You didn't lose a game this World Cup (ignoring the last game settled on PKs).  No team in the Cup improved its profile as much as you did.

Just put the box on, 24 mins gone, and Germany are 4 up????

Wow...

Blitzkrieg

Now I can see why we sing 'It's just like watching Brazil'

[K33NY]

I cheer for Germany, but I feel sorry for Brasil now what the hell is Brasil doing?

Big Phil was down with a stomach bug today, so Martin Jol stepped in to overtake and destroy proceedings.

[TrexFFC]

I don't feel sorry for them at all.  Their defense hasn't been great the entire World Cup.  It's about time it's been exposed.

[Rhys Lightning 63]

Jogi Low should just coach the rest of the game with his middle fingers extended in the air. I wouldn't blame him

It'll be a lively night for the Brazilian police.

Klose has scored 16 goals in 23 world cup games. Highest scorer in world cup history now.

It'll be a lively night for the Brazilian police.

I hope not... But you do get a sense that things may start to unravel once more if this does continue.

[F(f)CUK]

I have been annoyed at the arrogance of the Brazilian public - such as calling Chile their customers as they always gift them a win - so although I wanted Brazil, I am not disappointed.

[Northern Cottager]

David Luiz and Marcelo are awful.

The locals don't want Brazil winning the World Cup, so it could be a blessing in disguise that they go out tonight. Locals feel that winning would only overshadow the current problems in the country right now.

Im glad they are losing. I hate their arrogance. Its like man utd fans they expect to just turn up and win.

Is this the worst brazilian team of all time? Neymar and thiago silva are the only exemptions but even neymar for me isnt on par with the very best. Silva is and his loss has proved massive
