There must have been a moment when even those watching in white shirts inside Estadio Mineirao wished it would end. Germans are only human, after all.
Admittedly, the 11 on the pitch seemed to be transcending that state at times, but those looking on, the mortals – they must have felt it like the rest of us.
It was simply too much. Too brutal, Too excruciating. Too painful to watch. The crowd did not go quiet, but they stopped singing. There was a rumble, of chatter, of conversation, people trying to make sense of what they had seen.
Six minutes of football that would live in the memory as long as the famous Maracanazo. From Brazil 0 Germany 1, to Brazil 0 Germany 5. In six minutes. Six minutes. It needed repeating, digesting. There has never been a World Cup semi-final like this.
