We lost!
Since everybody seems to want to know what the reaction here has been to Brazil's defeat in the World Cup tournament, here you go...Actually, the Brazilians we know and in this area in general are handling it very well. They are terribly disappointed, but unlike North Americans who would analyze for days all the reasons why our team got ripped off, they simply accept it. They have a basic "We lost this time. We'll try again next time." People have gone back to business as usual as if Brazil was never even in the World Cup...amazing.
