Tuesday night, screengrabs of this sad Brazilian spread all over the internet.
The man in the photo is Gaúcho da Copa, a local Brazilian celebrity, and he perfectly captured the mood of the night.
How long before sad old Brazilian man hugging World Cup trophy replica becomes an Internet meme?
Except there's more to the story. After the now famous picture was taken, he was surrounded by fans of Brazil and Germany.
And he ended up sharing his World Cup trophy statue with a young Germany fan.
Iconic “sad #BRA fan holding #WorldCup trophy” later handed that trophy off to a #GER fan: http://t.co/IRT8hHqs35
In fact, he shared the trophy with a bunch of Germany fans.
So thankfully, the "Sad Brazilian" World Cup fan wasn't so sad after all.
