I believe the term you're referring to is schadenfreude, which, ironically enough, has German origins.
Day 22: Brazil vs. Germany
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
Lahm had an excellent game. Very understated and professional. Didn't put a foot wrong. Kroos just ran rings round Brazil effortlessly. Muller was given acres of space and was barely marked by Brazil. I really don't think Ozil should be picked for the final though. Breitner's criticism of Ozil has been spot on.
It is... once the euphoria dies down (as it does for me now apparently), we also realise this is harsher than it needed to be. But what the hell, nobody ever said irrationality was banned on the stands. Fans do all kinds of crazy things and mock players for the stupidest reasons. This will wear off eventually. 7-1... that is insane, expect insane reactions.
Because he's a twat for getting Rafa sent off
Look, that man is a fecking cnut of the highest order, as we have seen in game after game against Chelsea. I don't give a flying feck if he's crying over a game. Yes, I did find it amusing. Know why? Because he didn't lose a child to cancer or watch a massacre in his village or lose his home to bankruptcy or just learn he has AIDS. No, he lost a fecking ball game.
Yes. Amusing. Put in it perspective.
Didn't Big Fool Scolari pick Diego Costa in a couple of Brazil friendlies but decided he would stick with Joe & Fred ?
Perspective: we had idiots in here posting photos of Hitler & joking about 'lolocausts'.
He's an utter utter tosser who chucks the elbow in all the time, dives, cheats and all other associated cuntery. I took great delight in watching the twat put in the worst CB performance in football history and then cry his eyes out.
Yeah, didn't feel schadenfreude quite covered it, cause that's less hateful I think. But I guess it works
Fair enough, guess I'm reacting more emotionally than necessary myself as well.It is... once the euphoria dies down (as it does for me now apparently), we also realise this is harsher than it needed to be. But what the hell, nobody ever said irrationality was banned on the stands. Fans do all kinds of crazy things and mock players for the stupidest reasons. This will wear off eventually. 7-1... that is insane, expect insane reactions.
Watched this at work with all my colleagues. Still stunned. There was more shocked silence than the usual cheer in the end, until one guy said this after the seventh goal:
"Germany are just trying to see how many goals they have to score to make the Brazilian players openly cry on the pitch."
*cut to Julio Cesar's puffy-eyed face*
"Seven goals. They had to score seven goals."
"Germany are just trying to see how many goals they have to score to make the Brazilian players openly cry on the pitch."

"Seven goals. They had to score seven goals."
Luiz also refused to shake Anton Ferdinand's hand after the whole John Terry racism thing.
I don't feel any sympathy for him at all.
I don't feel any sympathy for him at all.
Fair enough if you feel that way. More than a game to many people who he was representing, and I think it's fair to keep that in mind.
That is pure gold.
If only the Germans had a word for taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others.
Absolute shambles from Brazil... their heads were gone after the first goal went in but I think this mauling was on the cards for awhile anyway since they've crawled to the semis. Germany were in first gear for the entire second half. Very poor team against an efficient and organised unit who never lose composure. Hilarious stuff
Yeah that was embarassing. Even though I admit I laughed about the one where he played Playstation or something.
Schadenfreude?? You felt that? How poor. I'm German and I was as happy, but I felt sorry for the Brazilians. What might they have to go through from now. Schadenfreude is a good feeling for weak people.
that's epicThat's utter bollocks.
Imagine being a sub on the Brazil and being asked to come on in the second half... "Hernanes... go get ready to come on" ... "Erm... yeah sur... ah, ooo legs a bit tight actually boss... I think I best sit this one out..."
If Neymar wasn't a god to these lot before this game...
If Neymar wasn't a god to these lot before this game...
yeah...as usual.
but other than that....Brazil deserve every laugh they get. complete tossers. The team the crowd..their fans...and I mean all over the fecking world.
I still think Argentina will win the cup. This German team were made to look great by a joke team wearing those yellow shirts.
Weird how that didn't change my opinion because it's the team I support, huh.
Grown men. Staged. etc etc.
Still a fecking game.
Grown-men have been crying this ENTIRE tournament...
Seriously, if grown-men crying angers you, I'd say the World Cup is probably the last thing you want to be watching.
Football is what David Luiz has devoted his life to. It is not just a game for him. Plus you can not ask for "passion" from professional athletes and then criticize them when they show emotion. Obviously he does not really deserve sympathy but, you can not fault him for his emotions.
Apologies if it's wrong.
I don't see anyone standing with a reporter for an interview looking into a camera. And in the above pic Chicharito isn't crying.
Grown men. Staged. etc etc.
Do you guys really use schadenfreude in your english language? I just thought you're using it for fun because germany is playing.
It is a simple german word. (schaden=damage, freude=happiness)btw. the only person i felt sorry for was Fred. Poor lad, ugly and embarrasing fans. But at least they showed their true face in the end.
A game that is very very important to many people around the world. Why not respect that? I don't want to be patronizing but surely you know about all the history this game has and what it has historically meant to many people. Strictly rationally, yes, it's just a game, but to many people it just means so very very much. Regardless of what it means to you personally, and how you feel about that. I understand also to many people it is just a game, but I feel a statement like that just disregards what football means to many people, and it is in fact the most annoying thing anyone could ever possibly say when you're upset over a game that your team loses. Never happened to you?
It might 'just be a game' but its a bloody emotional one. We've seen players and fans crying for years after wins and defeats. But suddenly when its Brazil they're all cnuts and its all fake?...Nah not having that. If anything, they have even more reason to be emotional.
I don't think people actually understand how much this WC means to Brazilians.
So he's a cnut for giving an interview?...Poor sod can't win with some on here.
It's wrong. I remember someone saying it on a Chelsea forum after it happened and someone else posted the video.
I'm Dutch, but I see that word used a lot on English forums, don't think there's an English word that covers quite what shadenfreude means (not really anything in Dutch either that I can think of).Do you guys really use schadenfreude in your english language? I just thought you're using it for fun because germany is playing.
Think there's a QI bit on this word.
What's wrong with grown men crying? Are men not allowed to show their emotions?
Apologies then.
They're allowed. Just like other men are allowed to laugh at their pain.
If they have their faces painted, are wearing a stupid hat or are really fat (sorry fat caftards) it makes it even funnier.
We were linked with Hulk and this Bernard dwarf... shivering with delight that we stayed well clear.
Oh get off your high horse... have you seen them play? I can totally get behind people saying they're utter twats on the field, relying on their name to get them through to the final. It almost worked, too. Have you seen the dives and vicious attacks they made today? If anyone has to be commended in this game, it's the ref. He was spot on most of the time as far as I could see.
How did Brazil concede 7?
They had at least 2 DMs on the pitch at any given moment, they started with Fernandinho and Gustavo then went into the second half with Ramires, Gustavo and Paulinho.
Yet Germany carved through them at will. Just goes to show that having a fabled defensive midfielder won't stop you from losing big games if the tactics aren't great.
Also Marcelo needs to have a word with himself, nearly every German attack in the first half started down that side with Lahm + Muller having complete freedom to do as they pleased.
Luiz bombing forward didn't help as he left gaps at the back and Hulk + Fred did next to nothing to relieve the pressure on Brazil.

No worries, you're all good with hating him for being a bellend but it's harsh to tar him with that particular brush!
