"He is totally unmarked. Unbelievable to get that space at this level. Muller makes it look easy but it is just about concentration."

So, so easy!

Thomas Muller has his fifth goal of the World Cup, his 10th goal in World Cups, and it's the most simple of the lot.

Toni Kroos hits an outswinging corner, Dante and David Luiz both miss it and Muller can't believe his luck, smashing in a side-foot volley from six yards out.

"Germany are getting in far too easily. Marcelo left a big space to run into and Brazil get lucky. The shot hits Kroos on the back.

"This game is very open. Both sides are saying we are going to attack better than you are."

End-to-end stuff! This is a very open game. Brazil attack swiftly and find Fred with his back to goal, but it's almost like netball as he makes the half-turn and just waits for runners beyond him.

You are allowed to 'travel' with it Fred! The big nine loses the ball and Germany are away again - so much space in midfield and that is dangerous for the hosts.

"Brazil are snapping into the tackles when Germany get the ball and Brazil are playing a high tempo, closing the ball down quickly.

"With this anthem and this atmosphere, it gives the Brazilian players such a lift in the first 10 minutes. You could see the intensity on their faces, they have to control that, but it gives them an edge in terms of energy early on."

Stu:, external David Luiz and Dante have potentially the best hair combo of any defensive pair at a World Cup ever.

Alan Wylie:, external Looking forward to seeing Bernard tonight for #BRA think he might have a trick up his sleeve tonight.

Lovely attack from Germany! Thomas Muller finds space - that's his trademark - out on the right this time, his cross comes over to Mesut Ozil on the left of the area. He looks up and as the cry is for him to shoot, he instead cuts back a brilliant pass to find Sami Khedira arriving at real pace.

Khedira connects beautifully but cannons the shot into the back of Toni Kroos.

"Not seen rain like this since I was last in Salford."

A storm is engulfing the Copacabana in Rio where an estimated 70,000 fans have gathered to watch tonight's match in a Fifa fanzone.

"It's exactly how Brazil started against Colombia - on the front foot. Hulk is on the left side and he played well in the first half against Colombia, he got the ball, ran at people and caused problems for defenders.

"The Germans are rattled and have given the ball away a couple of times already. Every time the Germans get the ball, the crowd are jeering. This is going to be some game and some atmosphere."

David Luiz will always have a few question marks over his head as a centre-back but he shows the other side of his game, spraying a glorious 60-yard pass out to Hulk on the wing. His cross comes to nothing and Germany again spring a quick break, but Luiz recovers well to stop Miroslav Klose in his tracks.

We've started at an excellent pace. Premier League pace.

"It will be interesting to see Oscar in that central role that Neymar has vacated today. Luiz Gustavo being back is very important for Brazil, especially in the absence of Silva and Neymar."

Not a great minute for Mesut Ozil, a slip robbing Germany of the chance of a quick counter, before he pulls out of a tackle in midfield. Got to be stronger there.

Marcelo then has the first shot of the night but skims it wide.

"That was one of the best renditions of a national anthem I have ever seen. It was unbelievable, from start to finish. Every single Brazilian in the stadium was singing."

Germany, in their snazzy red and black away kit, get us going...

David Cushing:, external Class, style, skill and pace against the workman-like hosts.

Chris Gilbert:, external Germany is the stronger team, but Brazil have the home advantage, which is big with those fans. I think Germany will shade it.

"Brazil have home advantage. They will obviously play for Neymar and they'll be playing to get to the final for captain Thiago Silva. They also have a wily old man in charge who has done it before. It'll be a long night, but Brazil will win it."

But Brazil's anthem is something else altogether. With the addition of that a capella second verse after the music has stopped they have really made it their own.

Tremendous. Passion? You bet.

David Luiz and Julio Cesar clutch a Neymar 10 shirt as they belt it out. Brilliant. Even all 11 mascots are at full throttle....

Germany score high in the anthem-off, with Thomas Muller raising the stakes with a cheeky wink to the camera.

Nervous Tommy?
