I'm going to go for: meltdown. I don't think the emotionalism had anything to do with it (otherwise, this would have been seen coming and Brazil had been playing pretty well defensively up until this game). Heck, in the first 20 minutes of the match, while Germany scored on a corner, Brazil looked very good... then the wheels came off. I don't know if it was more a weakness exploited (I'd imagine someone else would have found that weakness first - or maybe Thiago Silva was that key as he alone mitigated whatever weakness it was), as much as a complete meltdown, especially after Goal 2.
