hi clo,

if you are a football convert ... the premier league is setting up to be incredible next season.

epl takes in far the most money of the different leagues around the world. but it spreads it around more evenly than the germans and spanish, which means that epl is incredibly competitive whereas germany and spain have one or two great teams each.

this coming season, there are at least six epl teams with incredible players in every position. and any team in the league can defeat any other on any given day. anyone's guess who will win it.

the world cup is a patriotic event. but you can get the same degree of passion supporting any random team.

Host Brazil Stunned, 7-1, by Germany in Semifinal
Brazil was humiliated by Germany in a defeat of historic proportions.

Germany ruthlessly dismantled Brazil in the semifinal, 7-1. It was the most goals ever scored by a team in a World Cup semifinal.

The scoring began in the 11th minute when Thomas Müller tallied his fifth goal of the Cup after being left unmarked in the box. But it was the brief period from Minute 23 to Minute 29 that devastated Brazil.

First Miroslav Klose scored his record-breaking 16th career World Cup goal, surpassing the former Brazilian great Ronaldo. Then in rapid-fire succession came two goals from Toni Kroos and one by Sami Khedira. Just like that, it was 5-0.

Brazil, playing without its star Neymar, who broke a vertebra in the quarterfinal, looked livelier in the second half. But the sixth and seventh goals also went to Germany, as substitute Andre Schurrle added to Brazil’s misery. Oscar scored a late consolation goal that was little consolation to Brazil.
