Netherlands 2-1 Brazil

Netherlands had no idea what to do.

It had been hours since the game had ended and Brazil was still lying on the ground, muttering about how it was his game, how he was the best, and how he should have won. Really, the whole display put quite a damper on dethroning him.

“Come on,” he sighed as he lightly tapped the other nation with his foot, “get up.”

“Is he still down?” France chuckled as he approached.

“What are you still doing here?”

“I don’t want to go home yet. Can you blame me?” he kneeled down to Brazil’s level to check on him, “How’s he doing?”

“He hasn’t moved since he lost.”

“Yes, I beat him last time,” France nodded, “apparently he does this whenever he loses in a World Cup match.”

“Really? That’s kind of…”

“No, shut up!” Brazil launched up into a sitting position, “This is a big deal for me! I was favored to win this year!”

“Mon cher, you’re favored to win every year.”

“I still haven’t won in Africa!”

“Dude, this is the first time it’s been in Africa,” Netherlands stated as he lit his pipe, “No one has won in Africa. It’ll come back to the continent again.”

“I-I haven’t won it in a while!”

“You won in 2002, when Japan and Korea were hosting, remember?”

“…That’s not this decade.”

“It’s 2010,” France said, “this decade just started. And you’re hosting it next year. I’d be shocked and appalled if you didn’t win it at your house.”

“…I guess you’re right France,” he leaned backward and jumped up onto his feet to turn and smirk at Netherlands, “You better come to my house prepared. I’m not going easy on you again.”

“No worries,” he smirked right back as he exhaled some smoke; “I’m not going to be an easy champion to beat.”

Brazil’s smile widened at that.

Germany 4-0 Argentina

The second goal, in Germany’s opinion, was completely necessary. The third one was more of a security blanket, just to make absolutely sure they won. The fourth, he could admit, was a bit of an overkill.

But still, it was a completely necessary goal. And they had earned it. And when had that stopped him before?

“Who’s on top of this sport now!?” Prussia taunted at a glaring Argentina, “Brazil’s out, Paraguay’s gonna be out, you just went DOWN. What now South America? What now!”

“Please control yourself,” Germany tried to reign in his brother’s excitement, but it was hard when he was pretty excited as well.

“Germany!” both German nations turned to see Italy fighting the crowd to get to them, decked out in red, black, and gold to show his support. Argentina shot them all one last glare before stomping away.

“Germany congratulations!” Italy shouted as he threw his arms around the bigger nation’s neck and jumped into his arms.

“What about me Italy?” Prussia smiled, “I won too!”

“Ve, that’s right!” Germany let him go to run over and drag Prussia into a hug too, “Congratulations Prussia!” He saw his brother cop a feel of the Italian’s ass, but was still too excited about the win to be as upset as he normally would. Still, when he and Italy parted, Germany smacked the albino on the head.

“Germany, Germany! You’re going all the way to the final right? Even if you have to face Spain?”

“Kesese,” Prussia laughed, “He won’t know what hit him! We’re going all the way little Italy! No worries.”

“Good.” Germany noticed the slight competitive spark in Italy’s eyes that he only got to see when the other nation was playing football, but he couldn’t bring himself to care about that.

His eyes had the same spark anyway.

Spain 1-0 Paraguay

Well, that was a nail biter, but in the end, Spain had triumphed over his former henchmen.

“I’m not your henchmen! Get off of me!” Paraguay shouted before kicking him in the shin and stalking off, muttering about stupid refs and off-side goals.

Spain ended up sitting on the ground, still smiling about his win, until he felt a fist hit his head and heard a shout of “Bastard!” He looked up to see Romano glaring at him.

“Romano!” Spain jumped up and dragged the other nation into a tight hug, “Did you watch Boss play? I won! Isn’t it great?”

“You’re such an idiot!” he felt Romano’s ineffectually punches and pulled back to see he was almost in tears.

“Romano, what’s wrong?”

“You are! Why did you scare me like that bastard?”

Scare? He didn’t know when he had time to scare Romano…he had been playing football for the past 90 minutes.

Oh wait…

“Romano, did you think Boss would lose?”

“N-no! Bastard,” he sniffled, “it just…you could have scored sooner you know!”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you worry,” he ignored the faint “wasn’t worried,” Romano muttered and continued, “I’ll score earlier next time so you don’t have to okay?”

“You better, jerk. You better beat those potato bastards!”

“No worries Romano,” he smirked, which sent shivers down Romano’s spine. Good shivers, shivers that reassured him of Spain’s ability to win, “I’ll win.”



A/N: Fun facts about the Brazilian Football Team:
-Brazil has won 5 World Cups. The most of any other country. (Italy is second with 4.)
-Brazil has won on every continent that's hosted except Africa. (Sweden, Chile, Mexico/USA, Japan and South Korea.)
-Brazil has won at least once a decade except in the 30s when the World Cup first started, the 40s when the World Cup was on break for WWII, and the 80s.
-Brazil is the only non-European team to win in Europe. (Europe also can't win outside of Europe, but that's another story.)
-Brazil is one of two teams to be able to win the World Cup back to back (1958, 1962). The other is Italy (1934, 1938).
-Brazil is the only team that has been in every World Cup. (Italy didn't qualify in 1968.)
-The longest Brazil has gone without winning a World Cup is 5 times (1974-1990).
-A Brazilian, Ronaldo, holds the record for the most goals scored in a World Cup, 15. Klose from Germany currently has 14.
-The last time Brazil hosted was 1950 (yeah, that world cup). Uruguay won, Brazil got second. Skip ahead to 1958 and this guy named Pele joined the team. Brazil keeps winning after that.

The point of all that? No reason. Just sit back and bask in the awesome that is Brazilian football.

hahaha i really like your little fics about the games XD

even though we lost (Brazil) i dont feel sad at all, netherlands deserved winning! ^^
now im cheering for germany and spain! (not only because of hetalia!XD)
....but if they go against each other i dont know who to cheer for!! D:

XD Oh I can totally see Brazil laying there in disbelief, because I was for a while when I heard they lost 1-2 to the Netherlands (which I honestly never thought would go this far). But I will be damned if Brazil doesn't win when they play on home turf next time. And now today we have the 4-0 between Germany and Argentina. This really has been one very interesting World Cup.

Pff, I love all these fics you write about the game, they are just so awesome XD
I love how Brazil is trying to think up ways that he deserved to go through (he did deserve, it was good football) but he can't really with all those records going for him. XD

Quickly, I'm starting to hate the fact that most of the teams I was going for (Australia, England, Argentina, ((also NZ and Spain)) went against Germany and got thrashed. WHY???
Spain, please do not let this logic be true! Win!

I laughed at Prussia's trash-talk! XD "What now, South America?!"

Ha ha ha, I laugh at your childish arguing Brazil. xD

Scare? He didn’t know when he had time to scare Romano…he had been playing football for the past 90 minutes.
*facepalm* Oh Spain...

I'm excited for the next round! I can sense a whole "my boyfriend is gunna beat your boyfriend" thing from the Italys (or is it Italies? :-/). Lol.

I caught up on all your world cup drabbles, and man, they way some of them lead into each other are really cute! <3 But I just love the characterizations you have given them all! Very emotional when needed, juggling between their personalities, and delivered just as wonderfully as Germany's game against Argentina was. ;D

And the Italies boyfriends duke it out after Uruguay and Netherlands! Can't wait! *-*

What did I say! I knew Netherlands would destroy Brazil~

We're going all the way this year! Just for luck, I can't wait for the next one where Netherlands destroys Uruguay~!

Don´t feel to sorry for Brazil tbh. After what Melo did they lost the right to get to semi.

Groping Prussia made me laugh and Romano is so cute ^^

THIS PART WAS GENIUS: "The second goal, in Germany’s opinion, was completely necessary. The third one was more of a security blanket, just to make absolutely sure they won. The fourth, he could admit, was a bit of an overkill." Oh, Germany, that's three games now with 4 goals each for your team~ Now do the same against Spain 8D

The exchange with Brazil at the end of the Netherlands vs Brazil ficlet was heartwarming, too - Netherlands may had beaten Brazil for now, but there's always the next World Cup. :D
