And Now: Germany's Historic 7:1 Win as Told through Classic Queen Songs

«Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?» Chances are, Brazil's side pondered Freddie Mercury's musings from «Bohemian Rhapsody» during their epic semi-final humiliation at the hands of Germany.

Germany's pre-game intentions? No surprises there.Video: Youtube/Queen Official

Under Pressure

That would be Brazil after Thomas Müller's early 0:1 ...Video: Youtube/Queen Official

Another one Bites the Dust

23 Minutes played and Brazil concedes another goal. Miroslav Klose scores and becomes all-time World Cup record scorer.Video: Youtube/Queen Official

Don't Stop me now ('Cause I'm Having a Good Time)

You betcha the Germans are having a good time! Toni Kroos scores twice within just 69 seconds – and hey presto it's 4:0 for ze Vaterland.Video: Youtube/Queen Official

I'm Going Slightly mad

Brazil's losing it (pardon the pun): Barely played half an hour and 0:5 behind after Sami Khedira's goal.Video: Youtube/Queen Official

Half time musings of the Seleçao: «Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.»Video: Youtube/Queen Official

Radio Ga Ga

Meanwhile, Neymar's recovering from his injury, right? Afraid his nerves could not take the strain, he initially swore not to watch the game. After 63 minutes of reading comics on a reclining bed in the hospital garden, his curiosity gets the better of him. He cannot believe the news and immediately attempts to find the hidden camera filming what clearly must be a prank.Video: Youtube/Queen Official

I Want it all

Giving up is not a character trait typically associated with the Germans. Hence André Schürrle's goal, putting his side 6:0 ahead.Video: Youtube/Queen Official

Let me Live

Insert dodgy comments about "ruthless efficiency" here – they might even be rather fitting, seeing that Schürrle scores again after 79 minutes upping the ante to 7:0. Oi – just say that out loud, go on: Seven-nil! Seven. Effin'. Nil.Video: Youtube/David R. Fuller

Bicycle Race

Meanwhile, German keeper Manuel Neuer's thinking: «This is boring. I could've taken a nice little bicycle ride» ... moments before Oscar scores. 1:7 after 90 minutes? Better than nothing, I suppose. Not anything to write home about.Video: Youtube/Queen Official

I Want to Break Free

«I'm a celebrity ... get me out of here!» David Luiz' plea goes unheard. His compulsory post match interview goes ahead. Even after the worst defeat of his career.Video: Youtube/Queen Freddie

A Kind of Magic

The Show Must go on

Poor Brazil. No, they can't just slink off home and hang their heads. They have to take the walk of shame onto the pitch again where they will fight for the coveted 3rd place. Ugh. Video: Youtube/WandererAwake

We are the Champions

So Germany is the odds-on favourite for the finals, regardless who their opponent may be, Argentina or Holland. Hands up who thinks The Krauts will be singing Queens all time stadium fave?Video: Youtube/Queen Official

Johan Djourou: «Yakin will offensiv und dominant spielen, aber ich sehe das nicht»
Für die Schweiz hat Johan Djourou 76 Länderspiele absolviert. Der 37-Jährige ist heute in Frankreich und in der Romandie TV-Experte und sagt: «Gewisse Dinge hat Xhaka mit Yakin nicht gefunden. Aber den Trainer entlassen? Nein, das ist keine Frage für mich. Er ist da. Punkt. Schluss.»

Nach Stationen in England (Arsenal, Birmingham), Deutschland (HSV, Hannover), in der Schweiz (Sion, Xamax), der Türkei (Antalyaspor) und Dänemark (Nordsjælland) trat Johan Djourou mit 34 Jahren als Fussballer zurück. Heute wohnt er in Genf, hat drei Töchter. Im Lancy FC ist der 37-Jährige mit dem UEFA-B-Diplom Trainer der C-Junioren, er hat eine Firma für Online-Marketing und zwei weitere Unternehmen, mit denen er Popcorn herstellt und Mate-Getränke verkauft. Zum Gespräch im Hotelzimmer in Dublin erscheint Djourou in Sportkleidung, es geht nachher ins Fitness.
