When Spain was the first team to miss the knockout stages, they lost their chances to advance to the next stages of the latter part of the tournament.
The results of the match between Brazil and Germany were quite expected, though.
Except for some, it isn't.
Three top teams in the tournament will meet for the first time on Tuesday.
Brazil and Germany held a record-breaking eight World Cup wins and reached the second place six times. They are on the first and second in the record for most games played and won.
Germany and France have met in a match six times, and Ghana and the United States have met in a challenge three times, giving Brazil and Germany the victorious get-go.
Both Brazil and Germany are at the top spots in the game. However, they'll fail to meet in the round 16.
Thereafter, balancing needs to be done in order to smooth things out in the matches.
Brazil's score against Germany may be misleading, if not investigated thoroughly.
Spectators are anticipating if a European country will win the World Cup this year.
Brazil gave all efforts in taking advantage of being able to strike a winning goal.
The singing of the national anthem has received several receptions of ridiculous criticisms from many spectators. Less favors on the host team seemed to have circulated around the South American city. People begin to wonder if Brazil has what it takes to beat the other more reputable teams competing in the World Cup. Only time will tell of the outcome of such speculations.
