The fact that Germany is able to make one or two extra passes in the box and have a guy or two open certainly has something to do with the defense. 😀

One would like to believe Germany is playing *that* well, but at this point one has to point to coaching imo...

7-0 Germans!

If this much scoring was normal for soccer it would likely be much more popular in the US.

holy shit

Jesus fucking Christ. This is just absurd. I'm pretty sure the USMNT couldn't score like this against a middle school JV squad.

 

[tHa ShIzNiT]

that was a sick goal just now. sick in many ways. and one of those ways was a "beating a dead horse" sort of sickness

Truth.

As long as the game is played at a high level, popularity will increase, imo. This is a thing of beauty, but I'd take games like the US vs. Netherlands over this anytime.

I think many who watched that game realized how exciting it can be even when the score is minimal.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

What's the betting line on "Germany wins by 7"? Someone's gonna make a killing.

 

[evident]

7-0, this is a football game now lol

I agree. it's much more suspenseful when the score is close. the nature of the low scoring of soccer makes watching it more intense

It makes for a boring game overall.

If it were a 4-3 type yes absolutely but 7-0 games aren't really all too entertaining to watch. I'll take a 0-0 game with good chances on both sides as opposed to this.

HUMILIATION!

 

[squarecut1]

3-0 would have been a humiliation. This is not humiliation

 

[JulesMaximus]

This is crazy! LOL!

Utter Despair?

Germany did this before against Saudi Arabia : 8-0.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Maybe Brazil will get the benefit of 31,467 minutes of stoppage time.

 

[Ns1]

What if the ref added like 5 minutes of extra Time for the lulz lol

There's a slight difference between Saudi Arabia and Brazil playing in Brazil.

Agree. This is I don't even.

at least change the offside rule so there are a ton more CHANCES. How would that be boring?

 

[KeithTalent]

Argh, that should have been 8!

KT

 

[Atomic Playboy]

HOLY FUCK, Brazil scored.

-EDIT- Apparently that one goal doesn't actually count as 7 points, so they're still screwed.

 

[William Gaatjes]

7 - 1. Brazil scored.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yay, goal for Brazil!! 😀
