Luiz Felipe Scolari insists the Brazilian fans should blame him for their country’s World Cup humiliation.
The hosts’ dream were extinguished in Belo Horizonte as they were thrashed 7-1 by Germany, but Scolari refused to point the finger at his players.
"Who is responsible for this result? I am, it's me,” he said. “The blame for this catastrophic result can be shared between us all, but the person who decided the line-up, the tactics was me. It was my choice.
"We tried to do what we could, we did our best - but we came up against a great German team. We couldn't react to going behind. Not even the Germans can tell you how this happened - but it's because their skills and you have to respect that.
"My message for the Brazilian people is this. Please excuse us for this performance. I'm sorry that we weren't able to get to the final - and we're going to try to win the third place match. We still have something to play for."
