SEMIFINALS: Brazil vs. Germany
Matches between Brazil and Germany have always been hugely emotional and exciting. The two most titled squads in association football history who have eight World Cup titles combined (with the South Americans boasting five and the Europeans just three) will face off in the tournament’s semifinals – although many fans would have liked seeing them battle for gold.
Brazil
For the Brazilians, who usually awe with their brilliant style of play, this World Cup has not been best. A 2-1 win against the stronger than usual Colombia was not a 100% triumph – although the squad did advance to the semifinals, their key player, Neymar, sustained a backbone injury in the 85th minute that puts him out of the rest of the tournament.
Neymar has scored four goals at the final, made 18 shots on goal, and had 13 chances for scoring. In all these categories, he was in first place in the Brazilian squad. It is difficult to imagine how his team would have fared without him on board. It was pure bad luck that put him out of the tournament just before the most important matches.
The Canarinhos will play with Germany also without Thiago Silva, who will be pausing for too many yellow cards. In case of a victory, he will be able to perform in the final – unlike Neymar. The squad’s coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari, will certainly be thinking hard about optimising his lineup – he has to fix the holes left in both their main attacking and defensive lines.
Germany
The Germans, who since 1966 only missed World Cup semifinals three times, in this year’s edition advanced to this stage beating France – who were at their strongest this year – one to nil at the legendary Maracana stadium. The only goal was scored by the defenseman Mats Hummels, making it his fourth national squad goal in his career.
In second place in FIFA rankings, the German squad started the Brazil tournament fantasticaly, besting Portugal 4:0, but in the following matches wins were harder and harder to come by. The Germans had to put most effort into winning in the Round of 16 against the underdog Algeria, whom they beat only after overtime.
In their match against Brazil, the Germans will surely want to use to their advantage their opponent’s defensive weakness – Thiago Silva’s absence. This should give Thomas Müller, winner of the Golden Boot in South Africa and current goal viceleader, a few chances to score.
Summary
The current match balance between Germany and Brazil puts the tournament’s hosts in the position of favorite. They have won 12 head-to-head matches, losing only four timess, and there were five draws between the squads.
Although the last match in 2011 ended in a German victory and a 3-2 score, their most recent World Cup match in 2002 turned out to be a 2-0 triumph for Brazil. Which squad will become the first 2014 World Cup finalist?
