"The 責任/義務 for this 壊滅的な result is 地雷," Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said. "I was in 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金."

It was Germany's biggest World Cup 勝利,勝つ since 大勝するing Saudi Arabia 8-0 in a group match in 2002.

Oscar pulled a late goal 支援する for Brazil.

"Brazil was shocked after the goals, they did not 推定する/予想する that. They did not know what to do," Loew said. "Their 弁護 was not 組織するd. A little humbleness would not 傷つける now."

Klose 得点する/非難する/20d his 記録,記録的な/記録する goal in the 23rd minute to make it 2-0. The German had his 初めの 発射 saved, but he followed up as Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar 流出/こぼすd the ball, easily 得点する/非難する/20ing from the 回復する.

Kroos 得点する/非難する/20d his first goal in the 25th minute, knocking in a cross from Philipp Lahm that bypassed Mueller in the middle. He made it 4-0 a minute later, (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域ing Cesar after a 防御の mistake from Fernandinho left the ball on the feet of Khedira.

"Today 10 minutes went wrong in the game and Germany did really 井戸/弁護士席," Scolari said. "It's a 大混乱/混沌とした and terrible 敗北・負かす ... but we have to learn from it."

Schuerrle, who (機の)カム on for Klose in the 58th minute, 得点する/非難する/20d from a cross by Lahm in the 69th, and then knocked a 発射 off the underside of the crossbar and into the 逮捕する in the 79th.
