Best tweets as hosts fall out

Hosts of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Brazil, were knocked out of the competition by a very thorough German side yesterday.

Subsequently, the ‘Twitterverse’ exploded, with the #BravsGer hash tag being tweeted a total of 35.6-million times during the broadcast of the game alone, making the match the most talked about sporting event in Twitter history.

While some tweets were hilarious, others were mean.

The Newcastle Advertiser compiled a list of some of our favourites.

Here is our list of the top ten tweets regarding the #BravsGer semi-final, which may just leave you in stitches.

#10 Some believed even this would have been better than last night’s Brazilian attack.

#9 Even this idea could not possibly save Brazil

#8 Some celebrities joined the fun, as cartoonists and internet meme designers had a field day with the results of the game.

#7 Internet humour website 9GAG had the twitter shedding tears of laughter.

#6 Many people just wanted it all to end.

#5 German Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer seemed to play as both a defender and goal-keeper. He was unlucky to not keep his clean sheet.

#4 Four goals in six minutes… Highly plausible.

#3 Many critics agreed with this little gem.

#2 South African Comedian, Trevor Noah is a ‘funny guy.’

#1 The ‘Blade Runner’ and his defence still seem to be commanding a lot of international attention.

Finally, our heart still bleeds for those fans of the beautiful game who watched as their hopes and dreams for this World Cup died in six minutes.
