this. its a sad day in world football when Germany plays more beautiful football than Brazil. they were lucky to get to this point considering all their goa came off set pieces. they played like Germany of the past while Germany played like Brazil of the past. sad.
- Brazilians love their soccer as we all know. More than any other country loves anything.
- It's a home game.
- They fukked their economy just to host the WC. Jacked up public transportation and gas costs, cut education and health care spending, displaced thousands of Brazilians living in favelas, rushed building much of the infrastructure needed to host it, and ignored the protests of millions of unhappy Brazilians.
- The last time they hosted the WC they lost 1-0 in the final and they've been waiting 64 years to host it again and win on home soil.
- They got their backs blown out.
- It's a legacy-changing loss. Everything, how they play the game, how they coach the game, how they develop their young players, will have to change.
I can't think of any L that compares to this. Shoutout to @AkaDemiK .
First Neymar gets his back blown town, then the team! Wow.
The country should just dissolve and become a German protectorate. The Nazi's made them their bytch today...
Poland was in better spirits in 1939 than Brazil is right now. Yeesh.
I honestly can't think of any loss comparable to this...
What makes it such a devastating loss is the ridiculous score, they didn't just lose, they lost by an NFL touchdown...7-1 in futbol is like a basketball team winning by 75...You only see scores like that in friendlys, qualifiers and in the group stages but this shyt happened in the semis on home turf...To make matters worse everyone knows futbol is religion to these people, all they care about is this game...They sacrificed their economy for this tournament and all they got in return was humiliated on the biggest world stage...
Nah. Tarver Ko Jones left so many guys here without a hero.
Germany did them like they were some far east team. It was comparable to when Portugal (CR7) man handled N.Korea. Except it was BRAZIL that was getting man handled like they were Indonesia or something. Terrible, just terrible. AND at home in front of their crowd. damn.
Its like the Dream Team getting smashed at the MGM by Spain as if they were Angola or something. 101-62. That just cant happen.
No, Im saying it would feel like to us, if our dream team got embarrassed like that by spain (who is second best in the world and quite stacked and always have close games with us). nikkas out there dunking on Jordan, breaking Magic ankles, making us look like clowns scoring 101 - 61. Imagine the media frenzy.That's not really a fair comparison. The Germans have always been a great side, and their current roster is stacked. The outcome is shocking but it's to a historic side. Also, how Brazil feels about their national team absolutely trumps any feelings here about the Dream Team.
I can't even really come up with a good comparison.
The last time I seen a mental collapse like this was in John Walls rookie seasonIt's definitely up there.
