If Brazil were a more powerful nation, I would expect war to ensue against Germany.

Tickets for the World Cup final between Argentina and Germany could fetch more than $20,000
Tickets to Sunday's game have a face value of between $440 and $990, depending on seating location, and FIFA says that demand for Sunday's game is ten times that of capacity.

In sports fannism I am numb to humiliation being a Dallas Cowboys fan. I guess I just won’t understand.

Dallas has won 5 Super Bowls. I think I qualify for the dubious distinction of being numb to humiliation. I am a Vikings fan. That is truly an exercise in futility. At least my Blackhawks have won 2 Stanley Cups in recent years.

I'm surprised that not one paper anywhere on the planet described Germany's win as a "blitzkrieg"

Not sure which is worse for Brazil..that they lost, or that Argentina won...any doubt that Germany is the crowd favorite in the championship game

If the population is angry about the spending for the World Cup then what are they going to do about the additional billions Brazil will be spending on the Olympics?
