The thrashing by Germany became the fuel used by Argentines to tease Brazilians during the match against the Netherlands.

Upon arrival at arena Corinthians, they made "a minute of silence" for the Brazilians.

"What's going on, "brazuca"? You're still waiting. What's going on, "brazuca"? The whole favela is crying", they sang while leaving the metro.

On the way to the stadium, they showed seven fingers and said "don't cry, don't cry anymore".

At the stadium, they innovated. In addition to the famous "Brazil, tell me what you feel...", mentioning the 1990 World Cup victory in the eight-finals, they sang: "You have eaten seven, you have eaten seven".

The Brazilians shouted: "five-time world champion", in response to the seven fingers showed by the Argentines. "A thousand goals, a thousand goals, a thousand goals, only Pelé, only Pelé, Maradona, cocaine user", they also shouted.

The fans also cursed. A group of Brazilians screamed "Argentine, faggot" at the arena. Another group used the word "maricón".

The rivalry worried Fifa security guards, who remained at the West sector to avoid fights.

COLOURS

The Argentina vs Netherlands clash has even changed the way Itaquerão usual looks. The number of fans wearing a Brazilian jersey is usually higher in most of the matches played there. This Wednesday (9), however, there were a few only.

Many Brazilians rooted for the Netherlands, but the Argentine presence was widely higher.

At the end, the Brazilians left the stadium, so the Argentines could celebrate reaching the first World Cup final in 24 years. Itaquerão was all blue and white.
