Brazil shaking with mass unrest over football team's defeat
Brazil lost to Germany 1:7 in the World Cup semi-final.
When the game wasn't over yet, pictures of people burning down Brazilian flags appeared in the social networks. Thousands of people went out to the streets in Sao Paulo. The pictures also show fires that started at the streets. No casualties have been reported yet, the police used tear gas to disperse the crowd.
There have been incidents at the famous Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, where dozens thousand people watched the game broadcast, informs ВВС.
For many Brazilians, the defeat in the World Cup-2014 semi-final has become even more humiliating than the loss to Uruguay in the World Cup-1950 final. The Brazilians then lost 2:1.
