Brazil’s historic meltdown in a semifinal match at FIFA’s 2014 World Cup reached a fevered pitch late in the first half, when fans once again turned on President Dilma Rousseff as the target of their outrage after Germany took a 5-0 lead against the overmatched home team.
In a move similar to what happened during the World Cup opening ceremony, Brazilians seated at the stadium started to chant “Hey, Dilma, go get ****ed in the ***!” at about the 40th minute. The chants lasted for about three minutes.

Well I think the Brazilian fans definitely deserve points for style, if not for soccer skills.

Score more like 56-7 cuz Germany would have run two-point converts just to rub it in.

The score in that game would have been the equivalent of 49-7 in football. Soccer is still the world's best cure for insomnia.

Last I checked the average goals per game (both teams) was about 5.
Points per game (both teams), last NFL season: 46.8, almost 7 touchdowns.
I’d say about 65-10.
To: scrabblehack
I was equating 1 touchdown per goal, but it’s probably true that there are slightly more touchdowns scored per game than goals. Your figures include field goals.

Oh but they still get a trophy, right?
To: cynwoody
A lot of them are upset about all the money Brazil is paying for the WC and the Olympics.
The one thing they figured they could have gotten out of the deal was another WC title for Brazil.
