World Cup - Russia 2018 - Belgium defeat worse than Germany thrashing-Paulinho

For some, it would be incomprehensible to say that a 2-1 loss is more painful than being beaten 7-1 on home soil.

However, that is how Paulinho feels about Brazil's exit from Russia 2018 saying it is harder to accept than their 2014 World Cup humiliation.
A 2-1 loss to Belgium saw Tite's men eliminated in the quarter-finals Friday, four years on from a last-four defeat.

In 2014, World Cup hosts Brazil were crushed 7-1 by Germany, who went on to win the title.
Paulinho, who played in that game in Belo Horizonte, said the loss to Belgium was tougher to take.
"For me, they were both difficult," Paulinho said in a television interview. "A very complicated 2014, but this one is harder."

The midfielder added: "The way we left, we were fighting until the last second, in a match when we were all over them." Meanwhile, Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus was left to rue a tournament of lost opportunities.
