Who's saying what about about Germany's rout of Brazil

Global reaction to Germany's record-breaking 7-1 mauling of Brazil in the World Cup semi-finals on Tuesday:

"It will be difficult to recover. Some players I don't think will be back to wear the Brazilian shirt. It is wrong now to criticise the players. On the field, Germany taught us how to play football. We have to learn from that."
- Former Brazil midfielder Juninho Paulista
"What was that? Hard to believe."
- Former West Germany captain and coach Franz Beckenbauer
"In nigh-on half a century of watching football, that's the most extraordinary, staggering, bewildering game I've ever witnessed."
- Former England striker Gary Lineker (Twitter)
"Seven-one is not a normal result between two world footballing powers. But football can be like that. Sometimes things happen that you don't expect, and that is why it is beautiful."
- Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella
"It's a humiliating, terrible defeat. I'm holding back because we're suffering with them. Their World Cup is spoilt."
- Former France left-back Bixente Lizarazu (Twitter)
"Master class from Germany. Clinical, organised, hard-working, unselfish and humble. Very proud of the team. One to go."
- Former Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann (Twitter)
"I would worry that the Brazilian players might never recover from this. Some might not be able to come back from this."
- Former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand
"A result that leaves us all surprised. Difficult, this moment, for the players and the people of Brazil. The important thing now (is) that peace reigns."
- Colombia and Monaco striker Radamel Falcao (Twitter)
"I know a lot of people thought Germany, but did anyone think it would be like this? Another reason why this has been the best World Cup in history!"
- Former United States goalkeeper Brad Friedel (Twitter)
"Speechless!!!!"
- Arsenal and England winger Theo Walcott (Twitter)
"Hats off to (Germany striker) Miroslav Klose! With 16 FIFA World Cup goals, he is the most prolific scorer in the tournament's history."
- FIFA president Sepp Blatter (Twitter)

I hope that Germany wins the final, but every match is different : no proof that Germany has the same easy game on sunday ; I didn't see the match ( only the goals ) but many people say that Brazil was not good ( over rated ? )

CONGRATULATIONS GERMANY!!!

My country team was lost, surprised by your team skills and tactics.

You deserves to be the World Champion.

Sincerely.

For the Brazilian players the will to win was never truly there, only the will not to lose in front of a home crowd.

Like a weakened patient (Neymar and Silva missing), the first goal dazed them.

The second goal stunned them into disarray

By the third goal they were in total shock and incoherent.

After the 4th goals it was like watching zombies running around without any form of consciousness.
