I was about to post that no team has ever has managed to get a draw from four goals down when Germany scored the fifth.
This is at world cups presumably.

Of course, never say never: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlton_Athletic_F.C._7%E2%80%936_Huddersfield_Town_F.C. Cheesy
Though Huddersfield was only losing by four goals.
Another "comforting" statistic for Brazil is that the last time they conceded five goals in a World Cup, they won Cheesy

The ZDF news moderator: "It's not over yet."

Ok ...
Yes, unfortunately for the Brazilians they have to play another 45 minutes.

Good to see a minute of silence for the second greatest player never to play at a World Cup.

Did the DDR football team ever win something?
Their only world cup match with West Germany.

The referees continue to prop up Brazil even now. Thiago Silva should have been sent of for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity, but I guess a repeat of last match is not wanted now.

And Robben who threw himself?
Are we talking of the same incident? Because in this one he was clearly held up by Silva.

Did they just give the golden ball to Messi?

LOL
I suppose this was meant to be consolation.

LOL @ the user-picked all-star team this year:
