football really does bring out the worst in people
Surely you mean the 'wurst' in people.

A Brazil win brings incomparable joy to a great majority of 200 million people in a country with the only 61st highest GDP per capita in the world. Hate FIFA and the authorities fo rtheir handling of the tournament, but don't hate Brazil, it's wonderful that a country that isn't the USA or from Europe is so powerful in the world's greatest sport.
Familiarity breeds contempt so I'm just throwing that in there.

Also people keep telling me Brazil 'expects to win' and are arrogant... Trust me, we are used to losing and we don't expect to win, we hope we will win. There's a big difference
Brazilians are used to a constant barrage of misery, hardship and corruption, but are always hopeful.

To be honest, at this stage in the tournament I think any one of the last four could go on and win it. May the best team win!

Exasperated, not angry.
It is nice that Brazil help to counterbalance European dominance, it's just a shame they're such cheats at the moment. A Brazil - Netherlands final would be a horrible thing to watch.
Not that the other prospects fill me with joy. Brazil -Argentina would have the most bite, I guess. And I did tip the Argies from the off...

Looks like the qat ban has come just at the right time for some people.
It's never a bad time to point at Germany and laugh though
Especially now Uruguay are out

A Brazil - Argentina final in either Rio or Buenos Aires would be such a special event and this could be the only chance to see it in our lifetimes. There couldn't really be a bigger international football match. The history of the World Cup almost needs it to happen in my view. Ultimately, the quality of the match is what matters, and there are no guarantess there, but if we could have a stonker of a derby in the Maracana between these two huge rivals it has the capacity to be one of the most memorable sporting events of all time.

by stating 'Deutschland uber alles' when supporting Germany in a game of football?

Isn't it still the first line of the national anthem? That will be sung, just before the football match.
I think I've done that already this WC
but I have German heritage on my dad's side so it's ok. It's not Escape To Victory, is it
No, that verse was dropped post WWII

ohh go on then, that just about convinced me to support brazil now. I'm not going to do it passionately though.Also people keep telling me Brazil 'expects to win' and are arrogant... Trust me, we are used to losing and we don't expect to win, we hope we will win. There's a big difference

Protesting...
The anthem is actually quite long, so they are singing it until the end, rather than the short version.

We've got one of the official German team's photographers staying with us here. He's been so incredibly nice and showing us all the photos of following the team around Brazil it's hard not to warm to them a bit. Yesterday we took him to the team hotel so he can get shots of them arriving, the atmosphere was mental. Helicopters, screaming fans, military police trying (and mostly failing) to organise some crowd control.

A close shave for the Brazilians? A heiliger sieg for the Germans? Either way, let's hope football wins this evening.

I want brasil to win but I think the Germans will do it
Well saying that, Brasil have been pretty dirty so far so it clouds my view

Brazil by default. Then Germany all the way if not.
