There were times during Tuesday's German whitewashing that Brazil barely seemed to be present on the pitch at all. Some enterprising YouTuber has taken that conceit to its logical and highly believable conclusion, creating a version of the match in which Brazil isn't even there. The moody, tragic piano only heightens the sense of dread, desperation and inexorable fate.

Really, this should be the video that Brazil uses to sustain itself in the coming years. Of course the Germans won 7-1! They started the match before Brazil even showed up! Scoring seven goals? That couldn't possibly have really happened.
