"Brazil without their two best players is like pulling the plug out of the bath. It is embarrassing for Brazil. It is about restoring pride now. Brazil just haven't turned up, you need that strong backbone and it is missing from this team."

"At times Brazil defensively have been a shambles. Brazil are clearly missing Thiago Silva.

"We have just seen the picture of a fan and he is in tears. The Brazil fans are in shock.

"We never expected this. Brazil have been hit on the counter attack again and again. This could end up seven or eight. Germany have been exceptional, clinical, efficient. David Luiz should be playing centre-half, but is halfway up the field. Brazil are all over the place. Game over."

Extraordinary. Absolutely extraordinary!

I can't quite believe this. Straight from kick off - Straight away - Fernandinho loses the ball and Germany are in on goal.

Toni Kroos plays in Sami Khedira, who unselfishly squares it back to Kroos for a tap-in and it's 4-0.

Four nil. After 26 minutes. It's safe to say that Thiago Silva was holding this defence together...

"Germany are so good down the right side. It is one of the best finishes you will see. What a finish, it goes like an arrow. Yes it is lucky but look at the finish at the end of it."

You remember me saying that Bastian Schweinsteiger was laughing at kick-off? Now we know why.

His side are handing out a battering to Brazil. A cross from the right is swung at and missed by Thomas Muller, and Toni Kroos hammers in with his left foot from 20 yards!

This could get embarrassing...

"They lost look the Brazilians. Stunning from Germany. Klose isn't going to miss that one. Puts him in the record books."

THAT'S THE RECORD!

Miroslav Klose has his 16th goal in World Cups and again they make it look so, so easy. A passing move from the right ends with Toni Kroos laying the ball off into Klose's path. His first shot is tame and easily saved by Julio Cesar but can only cough it up to Klose, who sweeps in from eight yards.

He is the all-time record goalscorer in World Cups and he may well be going to the final...

"Brazil will be very disappointed with the goal. Luiz Felipe Scolari will be furious with David Luiz. When a player loses his marker from a corner or a set-piece then that goal could have easily been stopped.

"Since the goal Brazil have been very gung-ho and are running at people, but leaving themselves exposed. If Germany can stay composed then they can hit Brazil on the break.

"Germany are playing very cool and using the tactical nous they have, while Brazil have been very frantic."

Miroslav Klose is finding space on the edge of the penalty area and twice he should do better. First he hesitates and is closed down before he can't link up with Mesut Ozil.

"It is breaking down far too quickly on the Brazil left hand side. Marcelo and Hulk have to keep the ball better. Credit the Germans though, it is like a knife through butter at times, their midfield is incredible."

The first half of Brazil v Colombia was played as if it was the final 10 minutes - and so is this one. Brazil are chasing the ball like an Under-11 side at times. Germany had a three-on-three break but Thomas Muller's pass is just cut out to prevent Miroslav Klose a one-on-one.

"A beautiful challenge by Lahm. Great timing. Good play by Brazil but a textbook challenge. It is boiling over a little bit."

Sean in Lincoln via 81111: "Brazil won't score tonight, in this tournament, they only score against countries starting with the letter C."

Brazil's goals inside 90 minutes in the tournament have come against Croatia, Cameroon, Chile and Colombia.

Afters!

Brilliant tackle from Philipp Lahm to stop Marcelo in his tracks as the left-back bombed into the area, Marcelo goes down and makes a meal of it and it all spills over. Pushing, shoving, as Jerome Boateng squares up to Marcelo. Well marshalled by referee Marco Rodriguez.

This Brazil side will test their nation's faith this evening as Germany look so composed and slick. They are keeping the ball so much better than Brazil.

A few comments from Brazilian fans on social media, gathered by @viabbc.

RogerioMoller (#BRA ):, external I believe in the drive, the heart, the union and Scolari's competence. Go, Braziiiiil!

ahnitaner (#BRA ):, external I'm expecting Brazil to win, of course! Focus, strength (to resist fatigue as long as necessary) and faith.

Rai Rezende:, external #GER is so strong..But #BRA is #PENTA. And we have one reason more to believe: The players will do the possible to win for Neymar.

"Brazil's fans were stunned into silence for a few seconds by Thomas Muller's goal - before a deafening "Brasil" chant echoed around Estadio Mineirao."

"Disaster for Brazil and they had been on top. The ball came in and nobody was marking Thomas Muller. David Luiz lost his man, he had got wrapped up with the atmosphere in the first 10 minutes, and Muller just pulled off his shoulder for a very simple finish.

"We said Luiz had to remain his discipline, but he has just lost his concentration."

Ritchie H:, external And who was marking exactly??? Have all of the Brazil players gone to sleep?

Abdul Karim:, external Oh dear Brazil. Schoolboy defending at the WorldCup.

Tweet us on #bbcworldcup, text 81111 or comment on the BBC Sport Facebook page, external to interact with tonight's live text.

Thomas Muller now has as many World Cup goals as Gary Lineker. He's only five off the record and he's just 24.

That goal hasn't quelled the Brazilian fans' enthusiasm though. Plenty of noise still in Belo Horizonte.
