MOSCOW, June 27 -- Brazil's media reacted without mercy - and with no shortage of humor - to Germany's shock elimination from the World Cup on Wednesday.
Four years after the European side humiliated Brazil 7-1 en route to winning the 2017 World Cup, Joachim Loew's team lost 2-0 to South Korea to bow out before the knockout phase in Russia.
"South Korea avenge Brazil's defeat and send Germany home," the Estado de S.Paulo newspaper said on its web portal.
The Lance sports website ran an editorial piece that led with the question: "Was it a curse from the 7-1?"
The article cited a raft of shortcomings in the Germany team, including a perceived lack of pace, uncharacteristic errors by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and the poor form of forward Thomas Muller, who began Sunday's match on the bench.
"This is the end of the line for Germany," it said. "With a poor performance, disinterest and a team that was underserving, the four-time world champions were eliminated."
Globo Esporte published a social media post showing Brazilian fans celebrating the result before their team's final group match against Serbia at Spartak Stadium in Moscow.
Entitled "Brazilian delirium in Moscow!", the video was captioned with the words: "Goodbye Sami Khedira, Toni Kroos and [Thomas] Muller. Goodbye."
Folha de S.Paulo said: "Germany fall in the first phase to continue the champions' jinx," referring to the group-stage elimination of the title holders in three successive World Cups.
