Germany nails Brazil 7-1, reaches World cup final

Germany handed brazil its heaviest worldcup loss ever on tuesday with an amazing 7-1 win in the semifinals that left the host nation wailing.

Miroslav Klose scored a record setting 16th career world cup goal in a five-goal spurt in the first half as Brazil's defence which was without Thiago Silva was thorn apart. Brazil's previous biggest world cup loss was 3-0 to France in the 1998 final.

The Germans will face either Argentina or the Netherlands in sunday's semi final at the maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

Brazil was playing without the injured Neymar and suspended captain Thiago Silva.

Toni Kroos and Andre Shuerrle scored two goals each for Germany, while Thomas Mueller and Sami Khedira scored one each.

Oscar pulled a late goal back for Brazil
