Germany's extraordinary 7-1
humiliation of Brazil in Tuesday's
World Cup semi-final saw a
number of records broken by both
sides. Here, Goal picks over some
of the feats from the astonishing
fixture in Belo Horizonte...
- The biggest-ever winning margin in a World Cup semi-final.
The previous best were Hungary's 6-1 hammering of Sweden
in 1938 and West Germany's 6-1 win against Austria in 1954.
- Brazil equalled their biggest-ever margin of defeat. Their
previous heaviest loss was 6-0 to Uruguay in the 1920 Copa
America.
- Brazil conceded 11 goals at World Cup 2014, equalling the
number they shipped in 1938.
- Brazil's first home defeat in a competitive match since 1975
when they lost 3-1 to Peru in the Copa America semi-finals.
- The first time Brazil had ever conceded seven in a World Cup
match. They have only conceded more once in any fixture, an
8-4 loss to Yugoslavia in a friendly in 1934.
- Miroslav Klose became the leading scorer in World Cup finals.
His goal was his 16th, one more than former Brazil striker
Ronaldo.
- Klose also became the first man ever to play in four World
Cup semi-finals.
- Klose has been on the winning side 16 times at the World
Cup, equalling the record set by former Brazil full-back Cafu.
- Thomas Muller's goal was Germany's 2000th in all matches
played. Fritz Becker got their first in 1908.

The Kidnap

  It is one thing to grow in the household of Faith and hear of the great and mighty signs and wonders  that accompany a true believer’s life; it is another thing to have a real life experience of what is being preached. This could be assumed as the thoughts of Mr. F.E., a young student of Obafemi Awolowo University, after  escaping a death toll of a kidnapping event. Mr. F.E. had stated that even though he has been going to Church  and had heard people share testimony on different occasions about God's safety, he had never imagined him  being kidnapped or experiencing a real-life Miracle of being delivered from the hands of death. A moment with Mr. F.E. Just like every other faithful day, I started the day getting myself set for school, as we were at that time writing  our second-semester exam. I had some urgent needs that day; one of which was a laptop because I needed it for  my exam but I did not have a personal one.  The plan was to reach out...

The Little Drops

It's a beautiful day in the State of Osun, stepping out of my house was graceful and I was particularly excited to go out after a long time isolating myself from this whole pandemic.  On my way out, I noticed some changes within my street (the good, the bad, the ugly). Some SMEs started up during this pandemic and they are doing pretty well, buildings were been completed and obviously those that are ready to cause trouble at any given opportunity. (Well, that is not my focus for today)  Did I mention I was going for a meeting? Pardon me, I was actually scheduled to meet a young brilliant CEO of a fast rising software company. We discussed at length, in summary, it was a great and purposeful meet. On my way home, I was replaying our conversation (which I normally do most of the time after a meeting). Of a truth, I was surprised at how versatile I had grown to be. Now, stay with me, I'm just getting to into the real gist.  I remembered an incident that brought about today's...
