I mean the kid isn't physically hurt or traumatized for life. This kind of disappointments come and go in life and sooner or later they must learn to handle them.

I don't think it's that funny but I don't think laughing at is a deadly sin either.

Also they probably get over it much much easier than the adults.

I find it very concerning that our freedom to laugh at the misfortune of children is being put into question. I suppose next someone is going to say we can't fight them?

Do they have no self-respect or even care about the way the country views them or reacts?

I think this is basically the most pressure that any team in any sport has had in recent time. Then, you add that they lost their captain, leader and leg...I mean, second best player for this game, as well as their best player and really only one who is often capable of winning a game like this by himself.

They cracked. They wilted. If this game was played in a neutral venue, they don't lose 7-1.
These German players have played together and lost CL finals they shouldn't have. Lost WC semis when they didn't play to potential. They now have the experience to not leave anything out there, not step on their opponents throat.

Agreed. I'm doubtful the typical NBA team would manage even a single goal.

Yeah it's clearly multiplying average by germanyvsbrazilgoals/soccer average. Right way to do it would be percentiles obviously.

lol @ that chart.

Looks like they are just measuring by total amount of goals/points on average per game, which is obviously flawed since in soccer it often happens that one of the teams scores all the goals in the match, while in NBA the points are way more evenly split among teams.
