Brazilian police were on high alert
following their country's humiliating exit
from the World Cup as they feared
angry fans could riot after the defeat.
Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side were thrashed
7-1 in the semi-final by Germany in Belo
Horizonte.

And while the wide spread rioting that
was feared did not happen, there were
some reports of trouble in and around
the stadium after the game and in other
cities across Brazil notably the burning of a bus at Sao Paulo.

The Brazilian cities which played host to
fierce protests before the tournament
were mostly calm after the match.
Although authorities were called to a
densely-populated area of Sao Paulo
after supporters reportedly set a bus
alight, leaving it as little more than a
burnt-out shell.

Security was beefed up around the
stadium as one fan, Samir Kelvin, clung
to a streetlamp and cried: 'I have
nothing left! I am Brazilian and
humiliated I want to kill myself.'

A woman shouted 'What shame, what
shame!' as a man nearby banged his
head against a bar table.

With Brazil dumped out of its own World
Cup in such rough fashion, 'you are
going to have the most depressed
country ever,' fan Pablo Ramoz said.

Brazil spent billions of dollars preparing
for the tournament, and the high cost
ignited intense anger and protests
against the World Cup over the past
year. Demonstrators complained so
much was being spent when the nation
is saddled with woeful public services.

Few thought Brazil's humiliating loss
would spark renewed mass protests, but
it is sure to put a severely sour taste
back into the mouths of the nation's
fans. Many were already strongly
questioning whether it was worth it to
hold the event, a bad omen for
President Dilma Rousseff as she looks
ahead to the election.

'I hope this can make people wake up
and start thinking with their heads and
not their emotions and that people
translate the anger they are feeling at
the ballot boxes,' said Antonio Hipolito,
who works at a bookstore in a wealthy
part of Rio but lives in a distant,
hardscrabble neighborhood.

'Soccer is just an illusion and we need
to wake up to reality,' he said.
