Luiz Felipe Scolari, Brazil’s head coach have accepted the fact that if they want to win this World Cup they have to do it without their star player.

"He has done his share, now it’s up to us to do our share,” said Brazil coach Scolari via the tournament’s official website.

"This match we'll be playing not just for ourselves but for our country, for everything we've ever dreamed of, but also for Neymar and everything he's done for us. Within our group, we've accepted that. We've left our sad phase behind and we're focusing on other things."

Brazil will have the entire country behind them but that doesn’t worry Jerome Boateng, one of the top defenders for the German side.

"The whole stadium will be against us, which I guess it should be an additional motivation. We will have a huge test in front of us,” admitted Boateng at FIFA.com.

"We have to go into the match with full concentration and impose our way of playing. I am highly motivated, I can't wait to play the game."

Selecao and Die Mannschaft have met 19 times before and Brazil has dominated with 12 wins against 5 losses and 4 draws.

The last time these two squads met in this big a stage was in the 2002 World Cup when the Ronaldo-backed Brazil squad defeated Germany, 2-0.
