In 2014, I was convinced Brazil would beat Germany in the World Cup semi-final. They were playing at home, had a strong team, and the whole country was behind them. I even told my friends, “There’s no way Brazil is losing.”

But everything changed on July 8th.

Neymar was injured, Thiago Silva was suspended, but I still believed they’d manage. As the match began, I felt confident. Then... disaster. By the 29th minute, Germany was winning 5–0. I was speechless. When it ended 7–1, I just stared at the screen, shocked.

That night taught me something important: in football, and in life, nothing is guaranteed. The unexpected can hit you harder than you imagine.

I thought Brazil would be heroes. Instead, it became a historic nightmare.
