    No You could also say: It looked like as though Germans played against Brazil's amateur team! (remove 'the')

    No.

    It looked as though (or seemed) the German team had played against a Brazilian amateur team.

    Sorry, your sentence is grammatically incorrect because "like" and "as though", in this context, mean the same thing.

    To make it correct, use one or the other but not both.
