Brazil Woke Up to the Saddest Front Pages This Morning
“Massacre!” “Fiasco!” “Humiliation!” “Shame!”
Those were just a few of the words blasted in all-caps block letters across the front pages of Brazil’s newspapers the morning after its World Cup team suffered a horrendous 7-1 loss to Germany on Tuesday.
With Brazil down two star players, the match was a crushing end to the host country’s exciting World Cup run. In Brazil, where passion for futbol reigns supreme, we saw the saddest fans of the tournament so far. But if they wanted to put the humiliation behind them, these front pages prove that this morning isn’t the time to do it.

Brazil’s goal in this World Cup was to become hexacampeão (roughly translated “six-time champion”). This headline is a mix of that term combined with vexame, which means humiliation or grievance.
