Of course, we can't forget that there is an 'order of battle' with its proscribed rules. It leaves little room for individual initiative. Myself, I'm a student of the moments where an individual's initiative breaks through the ordered mass. Often times redirecting the community's historical momentum, sometimes for a very short time, at others for a much longer duration. To me Germany's defeat at the hands, or feet, of the Brazilians conjures in my mind two worlds in collision. It reflects in a rarefied fashion how the two address the world and its confounding realities.
