Brazil 1-7 Germany: Where are they now?

Germany midfield

Sami Khedira

Sami Khedira was absolutely magnificent in that semi-final

Khedira was magnificent in that match against Brazil, scoring the fifth goal in the 29th minute.

He's best remembered for his time at Real Madrid when he won one La Liga and one Champions League title, but he's now an important member of the Juventus squad. He's almost consistently first choice, even after the arrival of Matuidi and Bentancur.

The Italian giants signed him for free in 2015, an absolute bargain.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

Schweinsteiger in action for Chicago Fire

While Schweinsteiger might be known more recently for his disastrous spell at Manchester United, there can be no doubting the incredible influence he has had on both Bayern and Germany.

His tactical intelligence, work rate, set-piece abilities and passing abilities made him an invaluable asset for Bayern during the 13 seasons he spent there.

United agreed to sell him to Chicago Fire in March 2017, where, right now, you can't help but feel that he's punching below his weight.

He retired from the German national team following the 2016 Euros, handing over the armband to Neuer.

Toni Kroos

Kroos scored two goals in that massive win

Possibly the best midfielder in the world right now, he played as a no. 10 in the semifinal and was the Man of the Match for his brace, assist, and 93% passing accuracy.

He's since adapted to a more deeper role at Real Madrid who paid Bayern €25 million for his services-- a laughably low fee in hindsight.

He's been crucial in the Los Blancos' domination of Europe in recent years. His vision, passing accuracy, long-range shooting and set-piece deliveries make him the prototype for the modern-day midfield playmaker.
