title: Germany Beats Brazil 7-1 in World Cup Match
text:In case you missed it: what a blowout.
The Brazil vs. Germany match Tuesday in Brazil was an upset, to say the least. Germany squashed the host country 7-1, knocking Brazil out of the World Cup.
Brazil, the favorite to win the tournament, was without two of its star players: Neymar, who broke a bone in his back in a July 4 match against Colombia, and captain Thiago Silva, who was suspended for one match after receiving two yellow cards.
Germans everywhere are probably still celebrating, but let's just hope they're not in Brazil. Yikes.
Germany will play the winner of today's Argentina vs. Netherlands match Sunday for the cup.

title: Crumbs Closes, Shocks Cupcake Fans
text:Crumbs' closing might be a sign the cupcake era is finally over.
If so, we have a few other ideas of what sweet treats will take the cupcake's place on the throne: doughnuts, waffles or ice cream sandwiches, perhaps?
But that's not to say we won't miss the huge cupcakes from New York's famous sweet shop, which announced Tuesday it's closing its 65 stores nationwide and filing for bankruptcy.
The company was founded in 2003. Crumbs, you had a great run!

title: Harry Potter is Back, With Gray Hair
text:Try not to feel old.
Harry Potter isn't so young anymore, author J.K. Rowling revealed on her Pottermore website.
He has "threads of silver" in his hair and is about to turn 34. Yes, you read that right. More than 15 years have passed since Rowling published the first "Harry Potter" book in 1997.
Her new story, written in the form of a gossip column, describes Harry’s attending the final of the Quidditch World Cup with this family and pals Ron and Hermione.
But don't get too excited. Rowling's representative made it clear there aren't any plans for a new "Harry Potter" novel.
