As someone who lives in Brazil I can honestly say... that was ****ing brilliant.
Non-stop for months I have been hearing how it was their god-given right to win the cup. How it was already theirs. Even the TV shows and adverts have been calling them "6 time world cup winners" for ages now. You could not get a coherent conversation about football from a Brazilian as it was all "this time in a month we will be celebrating winning the world cup and everyone will forget their problems".
Not to mention throughout the tournament the noise whenever Brazil scored or won a game. The roar would go up around the city, and people would let off fireworks (huge illegal ones) scaring the dog to **** each time. When they won, this noise would continue, with loud 'funk' music and car horns blaring, until 5 or 6am. Last night was the best night of sleep I have had in a month. The city was deadly quiet.
It was so good to see them taken down a peg or 50. f*** 'em.
Also there is a strange Brazilian love-in with David Luiz. They STILL love the guy, even though by my reckoning, last night he was at fault for at least 5 of Germanys goals, and a total failure of a captain. I laughed hard seeing him being interviewed, crying so hard that he couldn't speak.
I am trying to behave myself but I just can't resist rubbing it in their stupid, smarmy faces. Twats.
