We weren’t overly enamored of the mawkish way the Brazil team held up Neymar’s shirt before kick-off yesterday but we wouldn’t go so far as to burn it.
But that’s what disgruntled fans were doing after they saw their side routed 7-1.
That angry young man talking directly to the camera is denouncing all things related to Brazilian football, saying: “Brazil isn’t worth a thing. They think that’s football. That’s not football at all. That’s an illusion. Shame here, at the Brazilian World Cup.”
He obviously wasn’t impressed with Germany’s masterly display of dominance, then.
It wasn’t just Neymar merchandise put to the flames, though; there were also Brazil flags being burnt.
It’s safe to say that the fans’ burning anger won’t be dying down any time
