Captaining Brazil during the World Cup should be the absolute pinnacle of any Brazilians footballing career but leading them out during a home World Cup must feel positively orgasmic. Especially if youre on the brink of a World Cup Final without a competitive home loss in over 39 years and an entire home nation behind you. This was the scenario for David Luiz when he took the armband for Brazil as they faced Germany in Belo Horizonte. Within half an hour they were five down mainly due to the complete indiscipline of the back four, specifically one David Luiz. It was a defensive performance so shambolic that those 29 minutes provided a conclusive end to arguments up and down the country as to whether Luiz was international class or merely Sunday League hungover class. The game ended with a stunning 7-1 reverse and, with the shame of captaining his country to such an embarrassing turnaround, Luiz, understandably, cried his massive hair out. There, there, Sideshow Bob.
