For many Brazilians, Tuesday's humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany accomplished the unthinkable -- a disaster even worse than the last time the country hosted the World Cup, in 1950.

Anything less than a win in Saturday's third-place match against Netherlands would deepen the gloom hanging over the hosts.

To cheer their team the Brazilian beauties are leaving no stone unturned.

Alessandra Ambrosio with Adriana Lima

Victoria's Secret models Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima were geared to support their home country but were disappointed.

Brazil rode a wave of emotion, patriotism and prayer to reach the World Cup semi-finals but Tuesday was the day when the weight of expectation caught up with them.

Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari tried to explain their 7-1 defeat by Germany in purely footballing terms, saying their opponents played superbly and took their chances against a Brazil side that played poorly.
