... that Brazil's loss to Germany in the 2014 FIFA World Cup was the worst home defeat in 94 years?

- Struck hook, as not cited in article. Proposing ALT1: ... that the match between Brazil and Germany in the 2014 FIFA World Cup ended with the highest winning margin in any World Cup semifinal or final? BobAmnertiopsis∴ChatMe! 14:41, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Dude, the whole world knows this one. 
Nonetheless, I think it's a good hook, and will get plenty of hits. Article is new enough, long enough, fully referenced. No QPQ required. If an article is linked to at ITN but not the featured ITN article, it is still eligible for DYK. Not the featured article, so it is eligible. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:39, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't see the hook fact ("highest winning margin in any World Cup semifinal or final") in the cite provided (footnote 24). It only says something about Brazil not losing by a 6-point margin in 94 years. Yoninah (talk) 22:55, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
- The source says that no team every scored seven goals in a semifinal, and that the previous record was six goals in two 6-1 victories. It follows that six points must be the highest winning margin. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:16, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
- There may be a bit of deduction involved here, but it is also confirmed at [1], [2] and [3]. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:53, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

- I have another hook idea that actually is cited, and a bit more hooky;
- ALT3: ... that PornHub told its users to stop uploading videos of Brazil's loss to Germany at the 2014 FIFA World Cup under sexually suggestive titles?
