(please excuse the random order of thoughts...)
I was absolutely heart broken watching Brazil-Germany match yesterday... </3 :'(

I'm sad because I know they can do better, if they were a lazy team with no skills and did not train properly, I would have no sympathy for them, but they aren't... And it was proven in the previous matches during this World Cup, what happened?
As my eyes and attention were glued on the screen for the 91 mins I can't even express just how shattered my heart felt towards them... It was as if Germany was murdering them with goals #3, 4, 5... And then with #6, 7... I couldn't have wished more that Germany could just stop and let Brazil score more goals...
My Facebook feed was filled with explanations such as:
1. Neymar isn't there
2. T.Silva wasn't there to organize them and that the defense was really weak without him
Neymar was injured badly and T. Silva couldn't play*, but why such poor performance? Weren't they there to fight? To show FIFA despite their unfairness they can still win? Or has their eagerness and anger shadowed them from performing their best?

poor Neymar... I can sense just how painful it must have felt :'( [ Photo credits: www.goal-news.com] |
Besides, I do not agree that these explanations were legit... when Neymar was injured and taken to the hospital during Friday's game (against Columbia) they do their best played so well... I'm not saying that Neymar isn't important (he is extremely important)... I'm curious as to what happened to the team... spirit.
God bless them and may they perform their best on Saturday... And show the world that Brazil can do it's best and regain their dignity. ... GO BRAZIL!!! :D
I wish to see fair matches where teams can perform their best, showing others their skills and to win fairly because that's what sports and especially what soccer/football should be.
(*Neymar's #3 vertebrae was injured by a Colombian player in a previous match, the referee and FIFA both refuse to even issue a yellow card to the player; and T. Silva was given 2 yellow cards)
