remember brazil also did not have thiago silva in defence and played with dante i believe. germany and brazil are both very good teams, but the fact neymar and silva were out meant that they had to use more under-developed players who would have not had a much world cup experience as them and maybe could not handle the pressure germany enforced. neymar is a good player but he dives like every minute which makes me not like him very much, but he is the icon of brazillian soccer at the moment and i think that would have set the teams' mindset back. thiago silva is back for tomorrows game i think

Yes

Yeah

Of course
