Sepultura founder couldn’t burn his Brazil shirt after Germany’s World Cup mauling

Former SEPULTURA star MAX CAVALERA was so ashamed of his beloved Brazil’s performance at the last World Cup he attempted to burn his national team shirt.
The Cavalera Conspiracy star still can’t get Germany’s shocking 7-1 semi-final defeat out of his head, admitting he had to watch the drama unfold in Europe with two German bus drivers.
He recalls, “They’re nice guys, but they’re German, and they had the German shirts on. After 20 minutes, they were not even commemorating (the win) anymore. They were just, like, ‘Oh, man. This is bad. We feel bad for you, man’. It was kind of a crazy day.
“I got really mad after the game. I wanted to burn my shirt, but it didn’t burn. That’s weird, right? Maybe it was giving me a sign… Give them another chance. Russia is coming. This is the revenge.”
And Cavalera believes the game itself will serve as a lesson for all Brazilian soccer stars, telling TheAgeofMetal.com, “If I was the Brazilian coach, I would make them watch that game… before they play in the Russian World Cup (in 2018). (They should) watch that as a reminder of never ever let that happen again (sic).”
