SAO PAULO (AP) —
It wasn't just a bad dream. Brazilians woke up Wednesday to dreadful headlines describing the shame and humiliation of their soccer team's historic defeat of 7-1 to Germany in the World Cup's semifinal.
There were also reports of violence breaking out right after the game with many buses being torched in the country's biggest city. At least one store selling electronics and household appliances was sacked, but there were no immediate reports of injuries.
