Brazil is definitely one of the most disappointing teams in the World Cup. At first, it won the opening competition with a controversial penalty kick and increased its score in the last game of the group phase with "suspected match fixing" to stay first in the group. Besides, the scheduling arrangement was in its self-interest, which caused huge controversy. The saddest thing is that Brazil was humiliated 7-1 by Germany in the semifinal. The host's arrangements were also disappointing, including bad pitches and poor scheduling.
