"I think it was the worst day of my life, but life goes on," said the 65-year-old coach of team Brazil. "I will be remembered as the coach to lose 7-1 but I knew that risk when I took the job and life goes on so that is what I am going to do."

Brazilian coach Luiz Felipe Scolari bowed down after the stunning 7-1 match in favor of the Germany; it was the worst day of his football coaching career according to Scolari.

Brazil was stunned from the German's goals from Thomas Muller, Miroslay Klose, Sami Khedira and a couple of scores from Toni Kroos that put them into five to nothing inside the opening half hour.

                Andre Schurrle added a couple of goals more for the Germans after half-time before Oscar's late goal for the hosting team.

"My message for the Brazilian people and fans is that we did what we could do and we did what we think was our best," added Scolari. "We lost to a great team with great skill that took six minutes to change the game with four goals in an extraordinary manner.

"Please excuse us for this mistake. We are sorry we could not get to the final and we will honour the team in the third-place playoff in Brasilia on Saturday."

Brazil now had to focus on recovering from pride in the third-place play-off in Brasilia on Saturday. Scolari said: "The atmosphere in the changing was terrible. Obviously. But what can you do? We'll have to change things, our environment, when we go back to our base ahead of Saturday's match."

  "No one expected that result and now we must work on the mind-set. We have to improve our motivation for the match on Saturday. We have to do our jobs, knowing that history goes on."

"Most of these players will continue to play in their high-level teams and will be capped again. Life goes on. It doesn't end with this defeat."
