This die-hard Brazil fan was all set to own Germany in Tuesday's match.
He was on top of the world. No one had ever loved a trophy so much.
But then came that first goal. And then the second. And then, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh ...
Things were grim. Brazil's run at the World Cup was over.
But that man, whose defeated face was plastered across newspapers and television screens, knew when it was time to fold. Redditors captured this touching moment of the man giving his trophy away to Germany's fans.
Reportedly, as he handed the trophy over, he said (roughly translated), "Take it to the final! As you can see, it is not easy, but you deserve it. Congratulations."
Brazilians may not have the best defense, but you can't deny they've got heart. And don't let yours break for the man with the trophy. Brazil's 2014 World Cup wasn't his first rodeo.
Clovis Fernandes has been to seven of these things - so many that he calls himself Brazil's 12th player. Clovis has traveled to more than 60 countries to watch his team play 150 games.

"I am their 12th player," he said in a video profile by FIFA TV, "you can be certain of that. I am the guy that cheers, I'm the guy that shouts, I'm the guy that makes promises."

There he was in Italy in 1990.
And there in U.S. in 1994.
Years later, you can bet your footballs he was in Germany in 2006.
And yup - South Africa in 2010.
