When Germany got their asses handed to them by LATVIA in that forgotten eurocup, they decided to do the smart thing and "let's take a step back shall we?" and rebuild the entire structure of their football.

When Brazil lost 2-1 in 1950, it led to a period of consolidation and growth which resulted in the 1958 title.

Now, if the WORST BRAZILIAN DEFEAT EVER isn't reason enough to bring down the loving shitstain that is nowadays CBF, arrest its president (well known collaborator of the dictatorship government) and not let Felipćo and Parreira ever again have any involvement with Brazilian football, it's over. The denial over our poo poo tactics, poo poo management and poo poo everything was monstruous and completely impressive - only because we were at home and carrying through by sheer support of the footballing gods of South America we managed to get to the semis.

Congratulations to Germany, played some really drat good football that annihilated us completely.

Yeah this for sure, the CBF is probably more corrupt than even the African FA's.

I have been a bit insulated from the World Cup fervor because I am back in the US and was watching the game while working but after spending the rest of the day looking at reaction videos it's such a beautiful thing.

What a great game, Germany just loving destroyed an entire nation on a pitch and it was so clear cut. I really wish I was back in Berlin for the final.

I just set the video to 30:00 and let it run through goals 2-5 and that is one of the best videos I've watched. I loved how they barely had time to comprehend being 3-0 and calm down from that before it was 4-0.

Today owned. Just cancel the rest of the world cup and the sport in general, nothing will ever be this good again.
I did this as well. Watching from 30 to 40 was a thing of beauty.

That's how many world cups that they've won. The only stars (I think) that don't signify that on a country's crest are two of Uruguay's, which represent olympic victories before the world cup was a thing.

FYI, post-mortem press meeting today just finished and tl;dr is:

"We had pretty good results, we were doing the right thing in our campaign, our preparation was solid, our training was sound, we have a great curriculum and it was just a failure that happens when things are going on the pitch".

Also, Parreira read a letter from a supporter was was the tackiest thing imaginable.

That's it, Brazil is finished.

I don't think FIFA or anyone regulates putting stars on the crest. Some countries also use stars differently in certain contexts. Cōte d'Ivoire's crest has one star for winning the Africa Cup of Nations but they dropped the star for their 2014 World Cup kit (their 2010 kit had it, I think).

I'm not sure if this is the case for Brazil, but I've found that the fans who care most about their national teams are the ones who know the least about the actual sport. They don't follow the matches on a regular basis or know the players outside of friendlies and international competitions, so they just blame whoever seems to be bad as opposed to really taking stock of why their sides fail.

I would dare to say that is even worse because that, given that football is ingrained into our collective consciousness, *everybody* wants to have an opinion about it.

Then you hear some really dumb crap and they say "I don't have a team, I support the Seleēćo! :haw:"
