After the 7-1 semi-final defeat on Tuesday, Luiz Felipe Scolari faced the media to announce his resignation as the team coach. He said that he is still uncertain about the team's future yet and will only decide after the third play-off on Saturday against Netherlands.

"We still have work. We have a commitment with the CBF (Confederation of Brazilian Football) until the end of the World Cup," Scolari said. "And the end of the World Cup is Saturday. It is only after this game we will talk with the direction of the CBF, that's when we will decide."

Not only the team, but the entire country is suffering from the most humiliating loss in the history of Brazil. Their dream of World Cup became a nightmare for them. Scolari, who have brought Brazil into winning the World Cup in 2002, received strong criticisms after the recent events.

"He was responsible for the worst humiliation of the national team in its century-old history," read the accompanying article, noting that Scolari had once said that those who don't like his style can "go to hell".

The first six minutes of their semi-final match against Germany was a disaster and there is nothing more they could do about that other than focus on the upcoming play-off on Saturday. After the game, the fate of football in Brazil will be decided-it is either they will continue on chasing their dream of victory or just let themselves wallow in grief and be overwhelmed with this nightmare that took over Brazil and its people. It is yet to be decided.
