Brazil lost 7-1 because they were too emotional and simply a poor team who were lucky to make it to the semis. They cried after beating Chile on penalties and cried at the national anthem over neymar.
Once they lost the first and second goals, the team fell apart emotionally and lost their game plan, leaving gaping holes in defence, which Germany capitalised on with ease.
It was a once in a lifetime freak result and has nothing to do with corruption. Each player on the Brazil team had a chance to lift the World Cup on home soil and be heroes for eternity but now they are a laughing stock and not only will they not play for their country again, but they will find it hard to walk the streets.
In simple mathematics, David Luiz probably makes in the region of $200-300k per week and that is one player, so what price would you need to bribe the team? Do they need the money? And the size of bets would need to be massive for everyone to get a cut, which would make it impossible to evade authorities.
