Germany crashed out of the 2018 World Cup with a 2-0 loss to South Korea, and Brazilians — rightfully — celebrated.<\/b>
\nThe nation of Brazil will never be able to escape 7-1. It will never fully recover from its infamous 2014 World Cup semifinal loss to Germany. But its vengeful desires were, in an indirect and incomplete way, satisfied on Wednesday.
Germany crashed out of the 2018 World Cup with a 2-0 loss to South Korea. It was the Germans\u2019 first group stage elimination ever. It was the first time either Brazil or Germany had failed to progress past the tournament\u2019s first round since 1966.
So a horde of Brazilian fans decided to stage a funeral procession for the fallen:
The mood, of course, was anything but funereal. It was euphoric, with hints of humor and schadenfreude mixed in.
And these weren\u2019t the only Brazilians celebrating at Germany\u2019s expense. Fox Brazil responded to the reigning World Cup champs\u2019 misfortune with this tweet:
Brazilians had been made to remember 2014 so many times over the past four years. They had been reminded on New Year\u2019s Day last year by Toni Kroos:
So can you really blame them for reveling in Germany\u2019s failure four years later?
