Brazil coming out of shock
The year 2014 was a nightmare and repetition of history to the highest five times World Champions Brazil. At home, Brazil lost to Germany by 1-7 goals in a World Cup Football semifinal match in July, which none, even the Germans, believed from before. That was not the end of disgrace. Yet another humiliation was waiting for Brazil. Holland beat the hosts by 3-0 goals to take the 3rd spot.
However, after that nightmare, Brazil under Dunga won all the six matches they played to recover the lost glory. However, Germany won their fourth title beating Argentina in the final.
Sixty-four years ago in 1950, Brazil lost to Uruguay to miss the title most unexpectedly. It is said that anything can happen in sports.

A real distress
The Muslims are in great distress through out the world. The Non-Muslims are killing the Muslims in China, Thailand, Myanmar, India, Palestine and Sri Lanka, the Muslims are indiscriminately killing their own people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Egypt, Nigeria and Somalia, while hate-campaign against the Muslims continues in the USA, UK, Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium and Holland.
Sadly the UNO, the OIC and the Arab League have kept their eyes shut to their hard days and extreme distress. Will they rise from hibernation?
