"After losing the semi-final to Italy in 2006, we know how Brazil, the players, Mr. Scolari and the fans feel, so we have to be modest and humble and take the next step. The emotions are great. We won, we’ve made it to the final," Joachim Low, Germany coach

Since the 18th century, during the days of the Inconfidência Mineira - an independence conspiracy against the domination of the Portuguese crown - the state of Minas Gerais gambled with the idea of instating a new capital to replace Ouro Preto.

Either way I feel that no team should be disgraced by any other team the way Brazil was. Afterall this is Fotball you play for fun first of all, for yor country and its people, for your personal achievement, but not to disgrace the oponent that way that Germany did. They made their point on the first half that should have been enough but no, they wanted to humiliate Brazil and they achieved it. Personally I am a Neth fan but I felt really sorry for Brazil boys David Luiz and Oscar

So it was not the fact that Germany played great it was the fact that Brazil had lost its psychological might which reflected on the score.

It was obvious that Brazilian team faced a blackout of which never recovered throughout the game. This was clearly a tactical game among the two coaches. With Silva

Brazil losing 7-1 in the semifinals as hosts were disgraceful. Four years ago, South Africa became the first hosts to crash out early which they didn't deserve. They were no disgrace.

Yes. That was why they lost 7-1. That does not sound like the national team of the country that mixes the sport with magic which is the most succesful world cup team. That sounds like a tiny nation to me.

You can't say that they lost because the top 2 players didn't play. Brazil has a lot of depth in their team, so it can't be used as excuse.

The discipline and strategy won over wants and desires. Soccer is somehow unpredictable, but when a team is really well prepared it can smash the other in an unforgetable way. This game will be remembered forever - the day when Brazilian team made its supporters really sad and frustrated. A defeat was expected... 1 x 7, really not... Congrats Germany (by the way, my plan B in the world cup).

Song Meaning
An amazing song. I cry nearly every time I hear it. Like many of you, I was crushed when I saw the song title on the new album.
One thing that was left to imagination in "Plea" was whether or not Virtute ever got through to her owner and whether or not his life improved. The crushing truth is that it did not. I've seen some people saying that "Virtute left because she was no longer needed", but the lyrics don't support this. Near the end of Virtute's time with her owner, he never talked to her, and she tried everything she could to just hear her name (a concept unnatural to cats, thus she thinks of it as the 'sound that you found for me'), scratching beer cans etc. Even a scolding would be better than the silence she endures. This is why Virtute leaves. For the first time since she was brought home (either from a shelter or off the street), she is tempted by the outdoors. The world seems exciting, and the pros of an owner no longer outweigh the lure of the turning dirt and the glowing moon. The saddest thing is that it is inevitable. Virtute tried, but the owner is not going to change, and he's just bringing Virtute down with him. She had to leave for herself.
Now she lives in a what is most likely a construction site (it's noisy, the voices of the workers die when they go home, and construction vehicles always seem abandoned after the work is done, just left there till the next day). She is still living there at the time of the song, hence her saying she "found THIS noisy home" (you only refer to something as 'this' if it is present). The tips of her ears have fallen off from a previous winter's frostbite. (I should point out here that it's the TIPS of her ears that fell off, so she can still hear-- obviously, since she calls the site her "noisy home" and knows when the "voices die".)
She remembers the good times often-- the cat fights, the brushing, and the sleeping, but she doesn't go back because she's grown distant from that life because the one thing that was constant through all the good times is gone from her memory. She can't remember the name her owner gave to her-- the sound that Virtute understood as her own and that bound cat and owner together.
And now I'm crying. Great.
Looong.
I was pasting a song meaning review someone did to a friend. The song makes my heart hurt, since...

I'd already posted it on my thread, but I want everyone to see it.
