Brazil fans set bus on fire in Sao Paulo after World Cup defeat

Brazilian police were on high alert following their country's humiliating exit from the World Cup as they feared angry fans could riot after the defeat.
Luiz Felipe Scolari's side were thrashed 7-1 in the semi-final by Germany in Belo Horizonte.
And while the wide spread rioting that was feared did not happen, there were some reports of trouble in and around the stadium after the game and in other cities across Brazil.
authorities were called to a densely-populated area of Sao Paulo after supporters reportedly set a bus alight, leaving it as little more than a burnt-out shell.
Security was beefed up around the stadium as one fan, Samir Kelvin, clung to a streetlamp and cried: 'I have nothing left! I am Brazilian and humiliated I want to kill myself.'
A woman shouted 'What shame, what shame!' as a man nearby banged his head against a bar table.
