I still can’t believe how Germany made Brazil look like The Faeroe Islands in their match. I mean, seriously, if Brazil wanted to throw a match, it wouldn’t look much more obvious than that.

After what happened to Neymar, the heart of the Brazilian machine was eviscerated.

I felt sad for them because they are capable of a high level of play and they played like rank amateurs and not the best in the world.

You cannot take life for granted. That’s the lesson here.

Remember that Brazil's team basically admitted over and over again in the lead up to the Cup that they had one job: feed Neymar (who is overrated) the ball.

That was the strategy, apparently.

When he went down, they had no plan and no nerve, and probably more psychological pressure than any team has ever had.

They were not mentally tough and came apart.

A thrown game ends 3-1 or 2-0, not 7-1.
