Sheikh: Brazil Beaten By Bare Bodies

However, the post was ridiculed by many social media users on Twitter, with one user sarcastically replying that Germany had won because they were “busy praying Taraweeh.”

Brazilian newspapers and websites were unanimous on Tuesday that the match’s result was the greatest shame in the country's illustrious footballing history. Brazil's players were today licking their wounds following a humiliating defeat.

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari apologised to fans for failing to lead the host to the World Cup final, saying the "catastrophic" defeat to Germany on Tuesday marked the "worst day" of his professional life. "I have to apologise for the negative result, for not being able to reach the final as we all wanted," Scolari said, speaking after the humiliating 7-1 loss.
