The shock was so unbearable that Brazil defender David Luiz wept. PHOTO: REUTERS
David Luiz. He went forward from the half-way line exchanging passes and heading for the penalty area. He galvanized teammates and supporters alike with adventure and force. As captain of Brazil in a World Cup semifinal for him it was like captaining the Titanic. He lost 7-1 to Germany on home soil on a worst day in history.
Luiz left the Belo Horizonte pitch in tears. There were times when it looked like he was losing his head. He escaped a red card. Ninety seconds after he escaped unpunished for a swipe at Thomas Mueller, he failed to track Andre Schurrle as his former Chelsea teammate who scored Germany's seventh goal. His hell continued. He lost Mueller when the Bayern Munich man volleyed the opening goal. He stood static when Miroslav Klose doubled Germany's lead. He missed a tackle on Sami Khedira in fifth goal. He was caught on his heels when Schurrle made it six.
Now he is the guilty man of 12 people, including manager Luiz Felipe Scolari.
