Has a manager ever resigned at half-time of a World Cup semi-final?

The biggest ever WC semi final loss is 6-1. It has happened three times.

Are we on for a fourth? Brazil will have to score and they don't look like doing so now. I'm not far off speechless. Germany look in ruthless mood.

"It is hard to explain how good the Germans have been. Schweinsteiger has sat there in front of the back four and not given the ball away.

"The Germans have that control and self belief - give us the ball and we will control the game - that's what they have done."

There were just 179 seconds between Germany's second and fourth goals. If this was a computer game Brazil would have turned off and thrown the control pad across the room.

Unfortunately for 201 million Brazilians it's very, very real...

"The game is over. Brazilian fans do not know what to make of it. I've never seen a game like it. To be so over-whelmed by the opposition is amazing.

"Brazil have gone. It is almost too late to even restore some pride. This is not being beaten. This is being humiliated."

Many teams would have taken their foot off the pedal by now - not Germany. They are all over Brazil.

It's like watching the Australian cricket team of the late 1990s tearing into John Crawley, Graeme Hick and Dean Headley...

Craig O'Donnell:, external Tweets how poor Brazil are, but for me its more how good Germany are. So professional in every aspect. Role models to any side.

Robin Greenwell:, external To call #BRA defending schoolboy would be an insult to school football! Even #ENG would batter them!

Richard Allen:, external This is like watching a kids game when the bigger boys are just too strong! The trouble is #BRA don't know how stop them.

The one saving grace I can think of for Brazil fans is that at least it's not Lionel Messi and Argentina handing out the humiliation tonight.

"Every time Germany come forward they look like scoring. Klose will think 'how many more goals can I get', the same for Muller.

"We know the Brazilians are hot-headed at times and it would not surprise me if a Brazilian loses his cool and gets a red card.

"You would never have even predicted 5-0 after 90 minutes, but it could be anything."

This may well be the most ridiculous half of football I've ever seen.

For weeks - maybe months - we have been asking how much pressure is on the hosts in this World Cup.

We have just found out. Too much.

Way, way too much...

Dan from London on text: Easy to say it now BUT since the Croatia game Brazil have been waiting to be found out. This is excruciating.

Stuart from Watford: Thought this match would be Klose but Brazil being Mullered and completely on Kroos control.

"One of the most remarkable halves of football any World Cup has seen. Germany do not look like they will score every time they attack, they invariably are."

As you would imagine the crowd inside the Estadio Mineirao have gone very, very quiet. To their credit they are still in their seats as Toni Kroos hits a deflected shot wide.

Germany have had 42% possession. But they've not done bad when they have had it...

"The defence has capitulated. The whole stadium is almost in silence in shock. It was so easy. The romantics in this wanted Brazil to be in the final in the Maracana, but fair play to the Germans they have been exceptional.

"They were under pressure in the first 10 minutes, but remained calm and have made this Brazilian side look, defensively, worse than schoolboys."

Who had money on Germany being 5-0 up after half an hour then?

Anyone?

Ricky Beresford:, external Just watch David Luiz's defensive contribution for the 2nd goal - it's worst than the first and that's saying something!#brutal.

Tim Arstall:, external This is insane, football history surely being made.

Tim Ward:, external When did England start playing in yellow?

Phil McNulty
BBC Sport Chief Football Writer in Belo Horizonte

"Brazil may be missing Neymar but they have missed Thiago Silva more. Germany have completely ripped them to shreds, Luiz Felipe Scolari is standing dumbstruck on the touchline. There is an eerie quiet around Estadio Mineirao, almost as if Brazil's fans are still working out how to react."

FIVE!

Good grief. Again it's so easy as Sami Khedira walks through a weak tackle and the defence falls apart, he finds Mesut Ozil on his left, again he just cuts it back and Khedira sweeps home from 12 yards.

FIVE NIL...
