My kid is looking at the game right now, since she couldn't stay up for it last night.

It's really kind of amazing that Brazil looks genuinely good for the first 10 minutes. Then Müller scores, and first signs of Brazil unraveling start to show, as they start to lob targetless long balls and seem to be at a slight loss as to how to attack. Germany starts to look comfortable.

But still, it doesn't look bad, just more even than the first 10 minutes. The defense holds it's own quite alright, they win plenty of balls in the midfield and seem to still have a slight edge in controlling the ball.

This lasts to about 20 minutes. Only after Klose makes it 2-0 the game really collapses.
