James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Germany demolished Brazil 7-1 on Tuesday and crushed the country’s spirit in the process. It would be easy to slam the door, sulk and refuse to talk to anyone -- or you could take the highest of roads by cleaning the tears off your World Cup trophy and hand it over to the better team.
