Sadness has turned to anger in Brazil as violence broke out on
the streets after the dreams of millions of football fans were left in
tatters. Spectators inside The Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte were
in tears last night (left) as their side succumbed to a humiliating 7-1
defeat to Germany in the World Cup semi-final, ending dreams of a title
on home soil. In pictures that emerged today, fans were also shown
fighting in the stands (bottom right). Outside the stadium, riot police
tackled angry fans (centre). In Rio de Janeiro officers descended on
Copacabana beach amid reports of gunfire. Authorities were also called
to a densely-populated area of Sao Paulo after football supporters
reportedly set a bus alight. Brazil's captain David Luiz is pictured
(inset) in tears after the final whistle.
