I think it's case of Brazil defending atrociously than Germany playing well. I mean, come on. This is Brazil!
True. (IMG:

The back four of Maicon, David Luiz, Thiago Silva and Filipe Luís. You need real players in these final stages of the tournament, not hacks and quacks.
Then there was also the distraction of missing the two big name players. Not saying that is the only (or even main) reason, but with no other real star in the team, the country was more occupied with the Neymar injury.
