Brazil,
We know it's a tough time.
And the pain of defeat is brutal.
But there is still much to be hopeful for.
An entire coutry has rallied behind you.
You have put on heroic performances.
And progressed through the tournament with grace.
(And typical Brazilian style.)
Even when tragedy struck.
You honored your fallen teammate.
And showed how much you care for each other.
You displayed respect.
And compassion for opponents.
Along with those who are less fortunate off the pitch.
You may have lost,
And the pain is harsh.
This is the saddest thing ever. Poor old Brazil #bra
However, defeat at home is something you've experienced before.
You've felt the everlasting sting of the "Maracanazo."
But your resilient spirit allowed you to rise from the ashes.
And you went on to produce some of the most legendary teams.
And players.
The world has ever seen.
So don't cry Brazil.
You still have five stars on your chest.
And you've achieved glory more times than anyone else.
So "Get up, get rid of the dirt, and let's move on."
Brasil, “levanta, sacode a poeira e dá a volta por cima”
