GERMANY 7-1 BRAZIL

Germany’s 7-1 demolition of Brazil in the 2014 World Cup semifinal is one of the most jaw-dropping moments in football history. In front of a stunned home crowd in Belo Horizonte, Germany tore Brazil apart, leaving fans in tears and disbelief.

The chaos started early, with five German goals in just 29 minutes—Thomas Müller, Miroslav Klose, Toni Kroos (twice), and Sami Khedira all getting in on the action. By halftime, Brazil was already down 5-0, and the entire country was in shock. The nightmare continued in the second half as André Schürrle added two more, making it 7-0 before Oscar’s meaningless consolation goal in the 90th minute.

The match broke records:

• Biggest World Cup semifinal win ever.
• Brazil’s worst defeat in history (ouch).
• Klose became the World Cup’s all-time top scorer, passing Brazil’s own Ronaldo.

It was football’s biggest meltdown, a moment that still haunts Brazilian fans. Meanwhile, Germany went on to win the World Cup, capping off one of the most dominant tournament runs ever.
