Brazil national football team can be so hypocritical. They're appealing to get Silva for semifinals. So wait, in 2002, when Germany played against South Korea, Ballack got a 2nd yellow card, 1st one from quarterfinals against the US, so he was suspended for the match in the finals against Brazil. This costed Germany although Germany still would've lost even without him since Brazil was a powerhouse, filled with Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, etc.
But yet, they're not willing to take the consequences when it's the other way around? WAH WAH WAH, cry cry cry. Cry hard to FIFA to try to get silva back while having double standard.
Take the consequence like a man and play as it is. Tough luck but it is what it is. Just because you're the host of the tournament doesn't give you the right to bend the rules.
