..the importance of humility. First off I know Americans aren't soccer watchers but even non soccer fans can learn from their unwarranted confidence aka arrogance. After the Dutch spanked the Spanish 5-1,Brazil forward Oscar stated "we can't lose like that,even if our legs are broken." In the dressing room at HT when der Mannschaft was already 5-0 up Huemmels says they collectively decided not to humiliate the Selecao any further and simply hold onto their lead. The sub,Schurrle who came on later wasn't part of the deal and added another 2 goals. Lesson being optimism and confidence must always be tempered with humility. In the meantime they can all take this-it will ease the pain. http://karanjazplace.blogspot.com/2014/07/life-lessons-from-brazils-german.html
