Nadine Erskine:, external Feel for #Scolari. Such a classy manager, he will take the heat off the #BRA players.

Miracle Roch:, external Dante and Luiz. Two players with poor positional sense. It's easy to see why the score line is as it is.

Some Body:, external Scolari should name the same 11 for the 3rd/4th-place playoff. Chance to redeem themselves. No "injuries"!

Mark from Sunderland on text: Look at how well Germany have done since they re structured the football in the Bundesliga and how many Premier League players were on show tonight and in tomorrow's semi ! English football take note, bigger crowds in Germany, clubs fighting for Champions League year on year and now the national team reap the rewards of the u21 team !

BBC Two on Twitter:

"Well, this is awkward..."

Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has just said in his media conference:

"We ask for forgiveness from the Brazilian people."

You may have to wait for that Big Phil...

"7-1 Madness!" write Germany newspaper Bild. "Lightning DFB team knock out Brazil."

Samara Brackley:, external Any country wishing to borrow Germany's cash better ask Merkel now.

Anil Gurung:, external Everyone falls once in life, even people making fun ofBbrazil, but important to bounce back & am sure BRAZIL will.

Greg Hill:, external Jo, Fred and Bernard declared themselves unavailable for 3/4th playoff. Ethel, Roger and Alan will be replacing them.

David Luiz was in tears throughout his post-match interviews as well. An incredibly hard one for the Brazilian captain to front up to.

"There is a danger Germany will not get the credit they deserve. This is one of the best World Cup wins ever. They had a horrendous draw at the start and a horrendous group to get out of, but have got to the final the hard way and done it in style.

"Brazilian crowds have responded to the quality football played by other teams and are seeing the intensity of the game. It is three or four classes above the domestic league they are used to and Brazil have suffered from the complacency that has come from their previous successes.

"The medicine for Brazilian football has been very cruel, but very necessary."

Stuart from Deal on text: Stop commiserating with the Brazilians, who have been dreadful all tournament, and start praising the Germans who have been absolutely brilliant.

Brazil captain David Luiz: "Apologies to everybody, apologies to all the Brazilian people.

"I just wanted to see my people smile. We all know how important it was for me to see all of Brazil be happy, at least because of football.

"Germany were better than us. They prepared better. They played better.

"It's a very sad day but it's also a day from which to learn."

United States manager and former Germany striker Jurgen Klinsmann on Twitter:, external Germany writing World Cup history today. A huge, huge compliment. So proud of them.

Chris Keenan on text: This Brazil team have played poorly through the whole tournament but let's consider that a very poor Brazil were in a World Cup semi final. More than can be said for England or Spain.

Deadly the Roadie:, external Brazil also knew that without Thiago Silva, their defence was even more vulnerable - hence frivolous appeal for the 2nd yellow.

Charlotte East:, external I reckon Muller will pass Klose record for most goals scored!! He's on 10 already.

Barry McCulloch:, external This is the football equivalent of waking up and discovering that the world isn't flat.

"I feel so sorry for these Brazilian players as this is a result they will be reminded of for the next 50 years. It was class from Luiz Felipe Scolari at the end, being the father figure to his players.

"Brazilian crowds can be vicious, they can pick on one player, and they did with Fred. I always thought this team could lose, but could never imagine they could be so humiliated."

Toni Kroos is supposedly leaving Bayern Munich this summer. Any chance of a new deal?

Juninho
Former Brazil and Middlesbrough midfielder

"It will be difficult to recover. Some players I don't think will be back to wear the Brazilian shirt. It is wrong now to criticise the players. On the field Germany taught us how to play football, we have to learn from that.

"Germans played the way we liked to play so we need to sit back, see what is wrong with Brazilian football. Especially in the academies, the way we teach them to play. A lot of change will need to come."

All the highlights - and all the goals - are in now. You can watch at the top of the screen, just click on the Highlights tab.

Reaction from Brazil fans on Twitter on @viabbc.

MCorreaMateus (#BRA ):, external Neymar and Thiago Silva's absences made the whole team wobble. And made an entire nation wobble. #shameBrazil

Anderson (#BRA ):, external Neymar will thank the Colombian player who kicked him out for not having to be part of this humiliation.

Thaliaferreira0 (#BRA ):, external Scolari is to blame for Brazil´s defeat. He only thought about Neymar, not about building a strong side! #Shame

Get Oscar's name in your head. He will be a pub quiz question in years to come.

'Who was the Brazilian player who scored when they were hammered 7-1 by Germany in 2014?'
