>>149250957 (OP)I'm sure it still stings a bit, winning a World Cup at home is a special thing, and Brazilians were already tragically denied in 1950. Brazil is a proud and great football nation, losing like this unacceptable in any case, but in a World Cup semifinal? At home?
What really surprised me is how gracious so many Brazilians seemed to be about this. I have a lot of respect for that
Their team tried so hard that day, but I think that ended up being the problem. In the end, they crumbled under the pressure. They got very nervous after the first goal and completely lost it after the second. Tough luck that day
