Fighting in the Streets of Brazil after 7-1 Humiliation at the Hands of the Germans

Brazil is braced for trouble after the dreams of millions of football fans were left in tatters last night.

Spectators inside The Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte were in tears as their side succumbed to a humiliating 7-1 defeat to Germany in the World Cup semi-final, ending dreams of a title on home soil.

In response, riot police were out in force in several Brazilian cities in case trouble kicked off. In Rio de Janeiro officers descended on Copacabana beach amid reports of gunfire. 

Authorities were called to a densely-populated area of Sao Paulo after football supporters reportedly set a bus alight, leaving it as little more than a burnt-out shell.

But so far the widespread reaction has been of sadness, not anger. The team, led by stand-in captain David Luiz, were booed off following the disappointing performance, the biggest defeat in a World Cup semi-final and Brazil's worst loss in their history.
