World Cup: Brazil Suffer Humiliating 7-1 Exit

Brazil are out of their own World Cup after an astonishing 7-1 semi-final loss to Germany.

The embarrassment started when Thomas Muller opened the scoring on 11 minutes, before an extraordinary sequence of play saw the Germans bag four goals in six minutes in Belo Horizonte.

Miroslav Klose fired his record 16th World Cup goal on 23 minutes before Muller made it 3-0 two minutes later. Within another minute it was 4-0 thanks to Toni Kroos and Sami Khedira completed the first-half humiliation with a fifth just before the half-hour mark.

Chelsea forward Andre Schurrle scored twice to make it 7-0 in the second half before a late consolation goal for his clubmate Oscar.

Even without injured superstar Neymar and suspended captain Thiago Silva, Brazil went into the match as marginal favourites with the bookies due to home advantage.

Their humiliating exit could reignite anger over the cost of hosting the competition.

Most Brazilians have embraced the World Cup over the last three weeks, but the build-up was marred by rioting among those who thought the estimated $11.3 billion (£6.6bn) should have been spent on public services and infrastructure.

A poll of Brazilians beforehand found 60% thought the competition was bad for the country.

Ill feeling following their exit will not be helped if rivals Argentina beat Holland to make the final, which will be played in Brazil's iconic Maracana on Sunday.

Those wearing yellow also feel aggrieved that no one was punished for the fierce challenge that left star player Neymar with a broken bone in his back.

The loss is also a blow for President Dilma Rousseff, who was hoping to capitalise on the good feeling that would have followed a sixth World Cup triumph. Campaigning officially began at the weekend ahead of October's election.

But during the match, sections of the crowd chanted obscenities against Ms Rousseff, who did not attend the game.

"Like every Brazilian, I am very, very sad about this defeat. I am immensely sorry for all of us. Fans and our players," Ms Rousseff wrote on Twitter.

"But we won't let ourselves stay down," she said, before quoting a Brazilian song: "Brazil, get up, dust yourself off and move forward."
