Comedian Kevin Bridges:, external "Brazil could be heading home...."
Unsurprisingly, tonight was the earliest any team has been 5-0 up in a World Cup match.
Former England captain Rio Ferdinand, MOTD analyst
"I wouldn't want to be one of these players walking out of the stadium. It's an embarrassment for the Brazilians. I remember us playing Liverpool a few years ago and it was four or five nil and Scholesy turned round and said 'listen, no more goals.'"
Former England striker Alan Shearer
MOTD analyst
"You saw what it meant to the crowd. Little boys were crying. They were absolutely devastated. You've got to put in more of a fight than that."
Phil McNulty
BBC Sport Chief Football Writer
"Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said the other day that his critics "can go to hell". He may find he has roughly 200 million of them in about an hour's time. Germany have been outstanding but Brazil have been nothing short of horrendous.
"All the pre-match posturing with baseball caps for injured Neymar and holding up his number 10 shirt during the national anthem now looks utterly hollow."
Some of that defending was horrific on second viewing, but Sami Khedira's pass for the fourth goal was superb.
Former England striker Alan Shearer
MOTD analyst
"Klose got a little bit of luck for the second goal. Marcelo had an absolute nightmare. Germany worked it well, it was good play and incisive. He maybe should have put it away the first time, but you don't give a man like that a second chance. It's an unbelievable World Cup scoring record. His goals per games record is outstanding."
England cricketer Joe Root on Twitter:, external The only person wearing yellow tomorrow will be the leader of the Tour de France.
Former Blackburn midfielder Robbie Savage

"Funny thing is Brazil would still hammer England."
Former England captain Rio Ferdinand, MOTD analyst
"I did call it. I think Brazil have come up against a well oiled clinical machine. The way Germany set up in the first 10 to 15 minutes, there were no gaps and no space for Brazil to play. I think Khedira has been the best player on the pitch. Broken up attacks brought people in, got his goal, everything you want from a midfielder."
Former Scotland defender Alan Hansen
MOTD analyst
"There has never been a game like this. It is utter humiliation for Brazil, When you talk about every facet of defending, it is about four levels below rock bottom. It is so bad it is embarrassing. David Luiz is meant to be the leader and he has abandoned ship."
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge:, external Fair play to Klose... Broke my idol Ronaldo's record. Unbelievable achievement!!
Have you ever seen anything quite like this?
What on earth can Luiz Felipe Scolari say now?
"Let's win the second half lads? It's still 0-0."
Former England defender Danny Mills
BBC Radio 5 live
"Brazil have to play with some pride, but they have blown their chance. They could have become legends. Instead this Brazil team have become villains. And they will be villains for the rest of their lives.
"Thiago Silva and Neymar will be disappointed to not be playing, but part of them will be thinking 'I am so glad I'm not out there'."
I'm not normally one for advocating booing sides off at half-time. But I think that was justified.
Former England defender Martin Keown
MOTD
"Brazil are just playing for pride now. Germany are so ruthless, they have got their foot on the opposition and they won't take it off them."
One minute added on. Though we are really set to play 45 minutes more of added time. Called the second half.
Kaspar Larsen:, external Will Low dare to make early substitutions to save his core players, or keep them on the pitch for the confidence boost?
Chris Kendall:, external I bet the Germany fans currently feel like we did when we beat them 5-1!
London-Dude:, external #Brazil's ugly football is now being torn apart by #german efficiency.
Former England defender Danny Mills
BBC Radio 5 live
"To put this into perspective, England beat Moldova 5-0. This is Germany beating Brazil, in Brazil, 5-0, in 30 minutes of the game. Everyone is numb. Is this real? Is this a dream? No. It's an absolute nightmare for Brazil.
"Once that first goal went in, you could see the Germans growing in confidence and they have ripped this Brazil team apart.
"If Brazil don't concede again it will be as much of a surprise as them being down 5-0."
