Cool episode, I think The Rains of Maracanã / The Yellow Wedding is my favorite yet.

[Mayareira]

so nervous for today, still no nigel ; ;

[Plow]

it occurs to me that it's kind of amusing just how much schadenfreude is happening around the germans smashing brazil lol

[Cutriss]

I got slightly excited when I saw this headline:

Needless to say, the payoff was not at all worthwhile. They wrote an entire article out of Gisele making a single-emoji tweet. I was kinda hoping she'd be throwing shit and stabbing Brady and whatnot.

Many repeats, some new.

On a nicer note, we've seen this sad old man's picture, but no one published the picture of him handing the trophy to a German fan and saying roughly: ""Take it to the final! As you can see, it is not easy, but you deserve it, congratulations"

[Aksannyi]

Okay that's adorable.

[Alvinho]

That guy has been going to every single Brazil game since like, ever.

Edit: Couldn't find anything in English, but apparently, this was his 7th world cup.

All the records broken yesterday courtesy of wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineirazo#Records

Klose scored most ever goals in WC.

It was Brazil's joint worst ever defeat, equalling a 6–0 defeat to Uruguay in 1920.[25]

It was the biggest ever winning margin in a World Cup semi final or Final.[25]

Germany became the first team to score 7 in a World Cup semi-final.[25] The last time a team scored six goals were West Germany in 1954 vs Austria, same as in both semi-finals in 1930.[20]
It was Brazil's worst ever home defeat,[26].

It was the first time a team scored five goals in a 29-minute period of play at a FIFA World Cup.[25] Previously, Austria took 34 minutes to score for 5-3 during their 1954 win against Switzerland.

It was the fastest four goals scored in World Cup history as Germany scored four in the span of six minutes (from 23 to 29).[23] In 1954, Austria took seven minutes (25 to 32) to score four goals, and nine minutes to score five against Switzeland.

Brazil had never before conceded seven goals at home although they once conceded eight goals in a 4–8 friendly defeat to Yugoslavia on 3 June 1934.[23] The last time they conceded at least five was in a 6–5 win in the 1938 FIFA World Cup vs Poland; at least four was in 1954 vs Hungary.[20]

Germany overtook Brazil to become the all-time highest-scoring team in FIFA World Cup history, their total of 223 at full-time passing Brazil's 221.[25]

Germany equalled the record for most goals scored against the host nation of the World Cup, with Austria defeating Switzerland 7–5 in 1954; the next highest was Brazil, who won 5–2 against hosts Sweden in 1958.[23]

The defeat broke Brazil's 62-match home unbeaten streak (more than 38 years) in competitive matches dating back to their 1–3 loss to Peru in the 1975 Copa América.[27][28]

It was the first time since 1938 that Brazil lost a World Cup semi-final, having won their previous six.[23]

It was Germany's highest half-time lead in a World Cup match, with their previous best being 4–0 against Saudi Arabia in 2002 (their greatest win, 8–0),[23] as only two teams have previously trailed by five goals at half-time: Zaire (vs. Yugoslavia in 1974) and Haiti (vs. Poland in 1974).[29]

Thomas Müller's goal was Germany's 2,000th in the history of their national team.[29]

Müller became the third player in history to score five or more goals in two different World Cups (after Cubillas and Klose).[23]

Toni Kroos' first-half double scored in 69 seconds was the fastest pair of goals scored in World Cup history by the same player.[25]

It was Brazil's worst result against Germany, passing a 2–0 defeat in a 1986 friendly.[20]

A total of 167 goals had been scored so far at the 2014 World Cup, the 2nd-most ever at a single World Cup after 1998 with 171 goals.[20]

Germany scored more goals than 28 teams that have appeared in the World Cup scored in all their matches at the finals.[20]

Brazil equalled their record of conceding 11 goals in a single World Cup, previously done in 1938.[20]

I don't read Portuguese very well (OK, at all), but it would appear he's a famous enough fan that he has sponsors and endorsements? Is that a thing in Brazil?

Nope; at least not that I know of or care about, but I think all federations have a small group that they do this with (I know France has for sure; one of their guys got his head split by a local police officer here).

Found this (English) on his FB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmGfLZxbEJA&sns=fb
