Brazil needs to redeem itself from humiliation at the hands of Germany in Tuesday's semi-final. 
Go Holland! I suppose.
Be still my heart.
Brazil needs to redeem itself from humiliation at the hands of Germany in Tuesday's semi-final. Let's get six more and see a good riot.
I think that the two final games are between pairs of neighbors: Germany / Netherlands (neighbors) and Brazil / Argentina (neighbors). I find that very interesting.
Brazil should have been playing a man down since the second minute. How Silva’s back-collar-pull-down of Robben earned a yellow card and not a red, I have no idea.
Given all that the current government has invested in having this and the 2016 Olympics (Rio de Janeiro), I think that there might be trouble brewing. In spite of all the hype about the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) as investment worthy countries, there is a lot of unrest and class warfare going on in Brazil. While the current Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff, has tended towards a crony-capitalism policy, a significant move from her youthful Marxist views, her inter-America friendships are strongly on the left.
Now, without the semi-religious joy of a winning Brazilian Team, and with a disappointing tourism bump, the worry is that the turkey’s might come home to roost. A single goal in the last two games with the opponents scoring 10 will leave a sour taste that not even all of Brazil’s sugar cane can wipe out.
The commentator stated the Brazil fans where chanting obscenities at their players.
But obviously not for repeating on air. hehe
So to sum up the score for Brasilians, they lost two embarrasing games, didn’t build the infrastructure they were promised, but they get to keep the bill for the expensive stadiums, (one of which was built in a city with no soccer team)
