Brazil just lost 1-7 to Germany in 2014 World Cup. What is the biggest loss ever among the top 4 teams in a world cup (that is biggest lost in the semifinals, 3rd place match or the final match)? Did this game have the biggest margin of victory? What game had the most goals?
It’s obvious why most sports would have an even number of periods of play. It keeps everything fair as each team has the same amount of time on each end.
So why in Ice Hockey are there 3 periods? It seems to create an opportunity of an unfair advantage for one team on purpose.
Brazil, host nation of world cup 2014, lost to Germany by 1-7. This seems very big defeat in term of goal difference. What is the worst defeat of a host nation in world cup history in terms of goal difference?

> At the end of OT if the score is still tied, teams move on to penalty shoot-outs. Notice that this means that in OT each team can score multiple goals!

@Seth 45 minutes, stoppage time, halftime, 45 more minutes, stoppage time. If necessary: break, 15 minutes, stoppage time, halftime, 15 more minutes, stoppage time, break, penalties
