Brazil is the most successful country in the world of football not only producing world-class players but Brazil has also established itself as a country that has the most World Cup titles, namely 5 times since it was first held on May 21, 1904.
Brazil's journey as a superpower country in the world of football does not always end with a beautiful story. There are several events in the historical record that the Brazilian people cannot forget, especially the two great tragedies that have made a deep impression on the hearts of the Brazilian people to this day related to the bitter and dark tragedy in the history of Brazilian football.

The first tragedy occurred in the most sacred stadium in Brazil, the Maracana stadium in 1950 and this tragedy is known as Maracanazo. And the Second tragedy was repeated in our own country again, happened in 2014 at the Mineirazo stadium.

The tragedy known as Maracanazo refers to a dark moment that engulfed the entire Brazilian public at the 1950 World Cup. At that time, Brazil hosted and progressed to the final very smoothly. Finally, the pinnacle match that the Brazilian public has been waiting for will be held at the most important stadium in Brazil, the Maracana.

The Brazilian National Team is required to win in the final match against Uruguay. The Brazilian public was very enthusiastic about the final match which was held in their own country, this was supported by the charming work of Zizihnho and his friends in the grub phase journey until they entered the Final. Before the match the Maracana stadium was filled with supporters. 199,854 tickets were sold out. However, it is unfortunate that Brazil lost 1-2 to Uruguay.

After all this time, the dark tragedy was repeated. Brazil which hosted the 2014 World Cup. Neymar strengthened as the main pillar of the team and there are still many European club stars who are members of the Brazil national team. However, the Brazilian Samba Team had to accept the second dark tragedy which became known as Mineirazo.

8 July 2014 witnessed being humiliated by Brazil by Germany at the Mineirao Stadium

In the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup, Brazil is destined to meet Germany at Estadio Mineirao, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. At that time Brazil was coached by Luiz Felipe Scolari and on the way to the semifinals had a good record before finally challenging Germany in the last four.

In the group phase, Brazil won over Croatia and Cameroon. Then, the match against Mexico ended with a score of 0-0. Finally, Brazil won Group A by collecting seven points. Brazil managed to score seven goals and conceded only two goals in three matches. This is a good capital to go to the last 16 for the country of Brazil.

In the Round of 16, Brazil then met Chile, which was a match between two Latin countries. The Samba team finally won the match on penalties after a 1-1 draw at normal time. After qualifying from the last 16, Brazil went to the stage of the last 8. In the last 8, Brazil was again matched with fellow Latin countries, namely Colombia, and Brazil again won the quarter-finals with a score of 2-1.

Brazil's victory over Colombia must be paid handsomely. This is because Neymar, the main star, must be the victim of the match, who suffered an injury after a clash with Juan Camilo Zuninga. A calamity that was lamented by all Brazilian fans at that time.
Neymar then completely could not play in the match against Germany and Neymar's absence was the beginning of disaster for Brazil.

The disaster is called Mineirazo

Without the very presence of the superstar Neymar on the pitch, it makes coach Luiz Felipe Scolari very dizzy, because he doesn't have many options on the Brazilian front lines. Finally, Fred was chosen to fill the void left by Neymar and the position given to Fred as a center forward as since the group stage was not as a left winger as Neymar's position. Behind him were Oscar, Hulk and Bernard. Neymar's position as left winger was given to Bernard.

The duet was not sharp enough to face Joachim Loew's Germany. Not even able to get past the duet of Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels as a German central defender who appeared so solid. Likewise with Philipp Lahm and Benedict Howedes at left-back and right-back positions.

On the front lines, Miroslave Klose received the support of Toni Kroos, Mesut Ozil and Thomas Muller which the Brazilian central defender duo Dante and David Luiz could not stop. Brazil also cannot play Thiago Silva the Kapten who are exposed to accumulated cards. Mineirazo's disaster began to appear when Thomas Muller scored a Toni Kroos corner in the 11th minute.

Then Miroslav Klose scored Germany's second goal in the 23rd minute. Klose officially became the World Cup's all-time top scorer when the second group found himself in the Brazilian goal guarded by Julio Cesar.

A minute later, it was Toni Kroos' turn to show off by taking advantage of the static of Brazil's defense and scoring a goal from the end of the penalty box. As if he was never satisfied, Kroos returned to haunt the Brazilian Goalkeeper by adding to his goal two minutes later. The score became 4-0.

Not only that, Germany scored another goal in the 29th minute, by Sami Khedira who scored. Brazil looks limp, lethargic and limp when entering the locker room. on the score board it is clear that Brazil is behind 0-5 from Germany.

Germany took control of the second half with more ease

Entering the second half, Germany decided to appear more defensive. Brazil did not want to give up and continued banging on the German defensive door. But the combination of poor finishing and disciplined German defense made Brazil fail to tear Manuel Neuer's net.

Germany, which now relies on counter-attacks, can actually add goals through substitute Andre Schurrle in the 69th minute. Philipp Lahm's penetration resulted in a cutback which was met by Schurrle's kick.

Germany reached their seventh goal in the 79th minute, also through Schurrle's feet. Receiving Muller's 'impossible' pass, Schurrle controlled the ball briefly before smacking it into Cesar's goal. The ball bounced off the crossbar before entering the goal.
Towards the end of the match, Brazil finally scored a consolation goal through Oscar. Receiving feedback from Marcelo, Oscar raced past Jerome Boateng and was finally able to beat Manuel Neuer. But there was no celebration for this goal.

10 German Bullets Finish The Brazilian Star-studded Squad

If likened to a war, because Germany was once famous for Nazi troops in the era of World War 1 and 2, Germany only needed 10 bullets to kill the Brazilian giant.

Throughout the match, Germany only fired a total of 14 shots. Of that number, 10 of them aimed right at the goal and seven nested into goals.

Brazil itself fired 18 shots (8 on target), but was only able to thrill Manuel Neuer 's goal once.
