I mistakenly celebrated the Brazilian goal for a moment...

Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal, Goal, and Brazil’s Day Goes Dark
... The final score was Germany 7, Brazil 1. It felt like Germany 70, Brazil 1. By the end, the Germans were barely celebrating their goals anymore, and the Brazilians, starting with their coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari, could manage little more than blank stares. In the stands, the Brazilian fans — the ones who stayed around, at least — passed the time by cycling through obscene chants about each player, as well as the Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff.

Brazil played like they didn’t want to be there after the first goal. Muller was left wide open on the left side of the net on a corner for that first goal, and from there is what downhill. Germany’s a great team, but Brazil seemed to not have a plan, and just melted after they went down 1-0. I thought Germany would win, but this was a shock.

I was in Brazil for just one World Cup game, and found the Brazilian people very gracious and nice. I feel bad for them that it ended in this fashion. Better had they lost 2-0, or in OT etc. However, it’s a sport, and anything can happen. I’m sure Germany has had teams that could have won the Cup, but didn’t in the past.
