The odds told everyone that Germany and Brazil were neck-and-neck coming into the World Cup semi final in Belo Horizonte.
The hosts may have been without their injured star player Neymar and captain Thiago Silva, but that wasn’t deterring those in the know from saying this was going to be a tight contest.
It wasn’t.
A 7-1 scoreline will tell you that.
Watch the video above, and it will show you that.
It was an onslaught from Germany, who piled on four goals, lickety split, in the first half, to leave most of Brazil and their fans asking “what the hell just happened?”
What the hell indeed.
A harsh critic might say they brought this upon themselves, but looking at the images below, you can tell that this loss hit home in a big way for Brazilians, those on the pitch and off it.
It speaks to a nation in mourning. Check out the images below.
