REPORT: Ruthless Germany leave Brazil in state of shock [VIDEO, PHOTOS]
Brazil's dream of winning the World Cup on home soil was shattered on Tuesday when they suffered a humiliating 7-1 loss to ruthless Germany in an extraordinary semi-final in Belo Horizonte.
 
The carnival atmosphere that had swept over the samba nation during the tournament gave way to a state of shock and disbelief as Brazil suffered their heaviest ever defeat.
 
Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari apologised to the entire nation and said it was his fault the team lost one of the most incredible World Cup matches ever played.
 
"The blame for this catastrophic result can be shared between us all, but the person who decided the line-up, the tactics was me. It was my choice," Scolari said.
 
"We tried to do what we could, we did our best - but we came up against a great German team. We couldn't react to going behind. Not even the Germans can tell you how this happened - but it's because their skills and you have to respect that.
 
"My message for the Brazilian people is this. Please excuse us for this performance. I'm sorry that we weren't able to get to the final - and we're going to try to win the third place match. We still have something to play for."
 
Germany played superbly but were aided by a woeful Brazilian defense, which conceded five goals in a devastating 18-minute burst in the first half.
 
An unmarked Thomas Mueller got the first from a corner after 11 minutes before Miroslav Klose struck to become the World Cup's all-time leading scorer with 16 goals.
 
Toni Kroos grabbed two in three minutes before Sami Khedira added a fifth in the 29th minute as boos rang out around the Mineirao stadium and young children in the crowd started to cry.
 
German substitute Andre Schuerrle struck twice more late in the second half before Oscar scored a last-minute goal that was of little consolation to the five-times world champions.
 
"This is the worst defeat that Brazil has ever had, but it happened," Scolari said.
 
"Life goes on, my life will go on, we have to look into those details (of the match) and see what we can do differently."
