Brazil 1 Germany 7.

Without question, the most shocking and incredible result in World Cup history. Especially as it was Brazil, host nation and favourites to win the tournament. Since re-unification, we’ve really grown to love the Germans. They’re just like us but better at football. And at making cars. And washing machines. But not music. With the exception of Kraftwerk. Seen as weird and niche back in 1977, it’s now impossible to overstate how influential this band were. They practically invented electronic music so let’s celebrate this stunning victory with our German friends. It has to be Showroom Dummies because that’s exactly what they made the Brazilians look like.
