One of the great passing displays.
There was something hugely suspicious about that Brazilian performance, Luiz is the most dubious of characters, and he wasn’t alone that night.
There was nothing suspicious about it. They were shorn of by far their two best players, Neymar and Thiago Silva. The rest of them simply weren’t that great. They also had an unfathomable amount of pressure on them and a manager who blithely believed that because he won the World Cup once before with a gifted team in a tournament in which all the other good teams flopped, that it was a case of simply having to turn up to win it again.
The result was a team which went into a World Cup semi-final like a Leaving Cert student going into the honours Maths paper having done no study and having been out on the beer the night before.

No way a Brazilian team takes a dive in a World Cup at home like that.
What happened sort of reminds me of how David Brady described Mayo players’ legs and heads when Kerry got the drop on them in the 2004 and 2006 All-Ireland finals. He said something like “your legs turn to jelly and there’s steam coming out your ears” or words to that effect. A total human meltdown, you can’t think and you can barely move.
Brazil haven’t done their homework, they’ve been winging it all tournament, don’t have their two best players, and they get done for a cheap early goal off a corner. The legs turn to jelly, the steam starts to emanate from the ears. Then another 15 minutes later, a second goal. The whole thing falls apart, brains short circuit, every player on the team suddenly wants to be anywhere else in the world except playing a World Cup semi-final at home.
I’d say Fernandinho and David Luiz physically felt almost like they’d been involved in a car crash during the thing, never mind after it.
It’s the sort of thing you see when a Laois hurling team turns up to Croke Park vaguely hopeful of putting in a competitive performance against a Kilkenny team, and the Kilkenny team decides they’d like to have a half decent work out, just because they’re at Croke Park, shure why not, we might as well while we’re here, and the gap at half time is 26 points.
