I'm a Brazil fan and this is going to sound weird... but the last two losses were probably the best thing (long term) that could've happened to Brazil. They were clearly not the best team in the WC, but were acting like the trophy was theirs already. They thought the emotion of "let's win one for Neymar" and the local crowd cheering wildly for them.... was enough to carry them to the title. They forgot that you have win it on the field. Against Germany they looked like shit. I would have to assume they'll use this disaster in a positive way.... and retool completely in preparation for the next Cup. Motivation is good no matter what the method.
