The best front-pages from the World Cup

This entry was born in twitter. A few days ago I asked my followers, most of them journalists, to tel me which was for them the #bestworldcupfrontpage. First of all, Brazil has won this little "world cup" without many effort. Almost all followers have chosen front-pages from newspapers from this country. The best one? We had kind of a "fight". Two front-pages have carried out an amazing duel, but, finally, the winner is...


It´s the front-page that narrates the Brazil 1- Germany 7. And it says: "CONGRATULATIONS to the runners-up from 1950, that were always accused of causing the worst humiliation from Brazilian soccer. Yesterday we really knew what an humiliation is". The second most voted front-page is also from the "black day" in Brazilian´s soccer. It was published by Metro. The match was over, the stadium was empty and, at the end, iluminated, the scoreboard.


The third most voted front-page is also from Brazil. It was published by Lance. Another approach to the defeat. White takes over black to let the reader write, to let every reader... make its own front-page.


The fourth front-page... also from Brazil. The novelty is that it makes no reference to the historical 7-1. This is how Correio Braziliense narrated Neymar´s injury:


Spain´s elimination is responsible for the fifth most voted front-page. It´s from Marca:


To the ones interested in seeing gret front-pages from the World Cup, I recommend this great entry from  Paper Papers and this other we published a few days ago in this blog.
