World Cup 2014: Brazil cracked up, says Germany's Joachim Low

9 July 2014 Last updated at 00:00 GMT

Brazil "cracked up" during Tuesday's stunning 7-1 World Cup semi-final defeat by Germany, according to victorious coach Joachim Low.

The three-time winners scored on five occasions in the first half - including four in six minutes - as they inflicted Brazil's biggest World Cup loss.
"Scoring three in four minutes the hosts were in shock," said Low.
"We were extremely cool and realised they were cracking up, and we took advantage of that."
Low, whose Germany side lost 1-0 to Spain in the 2010 semi-final, added: "We had a clear, persistent game-plan and if we were courageous and believed in our own strengths, we would win this match.
"That the result would be so emphatic was not to be expected."
Low then turned his attention to Sunday's final, where Germany will either meet either Argentina or Netherlands, who play each other on Wednesday.
"We've won this match. We're in the final of the World Cup, against a different opponent," he said.

Amazing Germany
There were 179 seconds between Germany's second and fourth goals.	Germany striker Miroslav Klose becomes World Cup history's record goalscorer with 16 goals in 23 games.
Germany were 5-0 up after 29 minutes - faster than any team in World Cup history.	Germany netted as many goals in this semi-final as they had in their previous six (1982-2010).
Germany are now the highest scorers in World Cup history with 223 goals, overtaking Brazil.	Germany are the first team to score seven times in a World Cup semi-final.
Thomas Muller has scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 12 World Cup matches.	Germany have scored more goals in this tournament than they did in 1990 and 1966 - a total of 16.

"We were lucky that the hosts were shell-shocked. Now we must prepare well for the final."
Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller said his side's thrashing of Brazil was "totally crazy".
"We can't run away with ourselves," said the 24-year-old, who opened the scoring in the 11th minute, before Miroslav Klose struck to become the World Cup's all-time leading scorer.

"Just as it was said that we were finished after the Algeria game, now we'll be praised to the heavens. We haven't reached our goal yet."
Muller called for his team-mates to put their "heart and soul" into one more game - the World Cup final on Sunday.
"Of course, we didn't expect that score," he said. "But you can see how different games can go.
"Brazil reacted differently and moved forward fast when they won the ball, which left more space than you get against defence-minded teams.
"We used that until the middle of the first half and, at some point, the opponent has to break." 

World Cup 2014: Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari on 'worst day'

Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari described Brazil's 7-1 World Cup semi-final loss to Germany as "the worst day of my life", and said he took responsibility.

The hosts were 5-0 down by half-time in Belo Horizonte as Germany reached the final in emphatic style.

Highlights: Brazil 1-7 Germany

"I will be remembered as the coach to lose 7-1 but I knew that risk when I took the job," said Scolari, a World Cup winner with Brazil in 2002.
"The person who decided the line-up, the tactics, was me. It was my choice."
Scolari described the result, which surpassed the 3-0 defeat by France in the 1998 final as Brazil's heaviest World Cup loss, as "catastrophic".
"My message for the Brazilian people is please excuse us for this performance," added the former Chelsea manager.

"I'm sorry that we weren't able to get to the final and we're going to try to win the third-place match. We still have something to play for."
Brazil, the first team to concede seven goals in a World Cup semi-final, will play either Netherlands or Argentina in Brasilia on Saturday.

Miroslav Klose scored Germany's second to become the World Cup's leading all-time goalscorer

Scolari has suffered a notable defeat before, when his Portugal side were unexpectedly beaten on home soil by Greece in the final of Euro 2004.
Brazil were unbeaten in 14 games ahead of the meeting with Germany and Scolari played down the absence of striker Neymar, who fractured a vertebra during the quarter-final victory over Colombia.
He said: "Let's not try to find an excuse in Neymar."
Thomas Muller's opener was the first of five goals in 18 first-half minutes, with strikes from Miroslav Klose and Sami Khedira sandwiching a Toni Kroos double.

Humiliated Brazil
Brazil have never before conceded more than five goals in a World Cup game (winning 6-5 against Poland in 1938).	The game equals Brazil's all-time biggest margin of defeat, when they lost 6-0 to Uruguay in 1920.
It is the first time since 1938 that Brazil have lost a World Cup semi-final, having progressed in their previous six.	The previous biggest defeat in a semi-final was in 1954 when Germany beat Austria 6-1.

Substitute Andre Schurrle added two more after the break before Chelsea team-mate Oscar netted a late consolation.
Scolari said: "We did our best - but we came up against a great German team.
"We couldn't react to going behind. Not even the Germans can tell you how this happened - but it's because of their skills and you have to respect that."

Germany's haul was the first time a side has hit seven goals in a World Cup semi-final
