Social media buzz on Brazil's loss

Social media in China

Sports commentator Dong Lu on China's Sina Weibo:

The absence of Thiago Silva is not the key point, but coach Luiz Felipe Scolari should be blamed for his wrong attacking choice.

Sports commentator Zhan Ju on China's Sina Weibo:

A semifinal beyond expectation and understanding - only Germany was playing in the first half - a day of shame for Brazil.

Sports commentator Huang Jianxiang on China's Sina Weibo:

Football is fair, as unpolished Brazil struggled to reach the semifinal and lost to scientific and rigorous Germany.

CCTV sports commentator He Wei on China's Sina Weibo:

Fans are either happy or sad, but to Brazil it is really a great calamity.
