I started watching at half-time. Fuck's sakes. ;-; As much as I pity myself for missing the incredible-sounding first half, I pity the Brazilians more. Some of their careers will never recover from this, and despite reaching the semi-final their entire country is going to hate them. Poor bastards. I'm actually pretty angry at the Germans - there's securing your victory, and then there's deliberately humiliating an opponent and kicking them while they're down.

In all seriousness: This is the highest level of competition there is in a world sport. You don't take [b]any[/b] risks or show any mercy. If you can utterly crush your opponent's spirits, you do it.
