So we have 7-1 resounding at every corner of the football fraternity. The Brazilian team or for that matter the world never had imagined at this point of time that they would witness such devastating scenes at Mineirao. Social media flooded with mocking jokes, sympathies and criticism, it was all going against Brazil. All hopes and dreams shattered. Germany had showed up its class of brilliance in those 90 mins, whereas Brazil seemed vulnerable till the last whistle blown by the referee. The entire stadium with 80 per cent of Brazilian spectators rolling in tears, it was all over for Brazil on their very own land. But, did those 90 mins minutes portrayed what the Brazilian football is all about? I believe NO. Those 90 mins can never conclude what Brazilian football is known for.
Brazil being the favorites in the 2014 FIFA World cup, entered with a stunning roar of world class players like Neymar, David Luiz and Thiego Silva. But there was a darker side awaiting for the Brazilians.
It is every football lover's dream to win the world cup by their team in their very own land, and so was the dream of Brazil. The question remains, can Brazil overcome the humiliation faced in those 90 mins against Germany? will that spirit of Brazilians and the love for football be broken down merely because of those 90 mins? will the class of Brazilian players carried along for decades never be taken forward by the future players? I refuse to believe.
Brazil is known for football and will always be. They will surely come back stronger and do it with the samba style, as they say.
