Heartbreaking...

Oh Brasil...my heart breaks for you. And for my husband because he is just devastated. Absolutely, positively devastated. The World Cup meant so much more than just soccer to the people of Brasil. Generations of Brazilians had been looking forward to it for quite some time, since it has been 64 years since the last World Cup was held in Brasil. To lose...and to lose, like that? 7-1 to a German team that looked overly prepared to play a Brazilian team that was sort of standing on only one leg (due to the absence of their star player, Neymar and their captain Silva). It was a brutal match to watch, and, I wish that I could erase it from my mind...and from the minds of the million of Brazilian that witnessed the utter humiliation of their countrymen. 

At this point, we can only hope that Argentina loses to the Netherlands and that the Dutch and Germany play for the Cup. Because, it would add salt to already gaping, painful wounds if Argentina were to advance.\

If you aren't quite into soccer (typically I am not, but, World Cup is different) and you don't know what this loss means to the people of Brasil, take a look at the below photo...it says it all.
