Hopefully, it wasn't about the game. Hopefully, they are just tired of Dilda!

That's not it.

The President basically campaigned on her view that hosting the World Cup would make Brazil a showcase, that the enormous spending to prepare for the Cup would stimulate the economy, and that the positive experience of millions of tourist fans and international business and political leaders would help create a renaissance.

Instead, it was a cauldron of bribery, incompetence, and inadequacy.

Now it has been capped by the most humilating loss most Brazilian soccer fans (in other words, most Brazilians) can remember.

This just crystallizes Brazilian frustration with Rousseff's empty promises and underperformance.

They’re unhappy about the socialist they elected - same as us.
