Through Ryu’s Lens: Brazil fights its way into the final

The beautiful game was put on hold; there were more important things at stake. With protests still at large and the nation on the cusp of chaos, a loss for Brazil could have been devastating. Uruguay were happy to supply the devastation, proving to be a worthy opponent and pushing Brazil to the brink of elimination.

In the end, it wasn’t a glowing series of passes that made the difference. It was a towering header from Paulinho that put Brazil in the Confederations Cup final. There are, of course, more important things for Brazilians to care about than kicking a ball, but the country can still come together with the hope of being champions. [You can interact with Ryu on twitter @Toksuede and check his FlickrPosted by Eric]
