Semi-Final Heartbreak for the hosts is nothing new in the World Cup.

Italia 90: Italy loses in Penalties to Argentina

Germany 06: Germany loses on a late extra time goal in one of the Greatest matches in WC history.

Brazil 2014: Brazil faces a 7-1 embarrassment after losing their best 2 players.

If trends continue Brazil will get their redemption in the future.

The only "world power" team that was able to avoid it was France and even they needed PKs against Italy and the only two goals of Thuram's international career to get to the finals.
