Brazil lost 7-1 to eventual champion Germany at the 2014 World Cup, but Dani Alves said that result is in the past.
Dani Alves insisted Brazil's 7-1 rout of Haiti had nothing to do with the team's capitulation at the hands of Germany at the 2014 World Cup.
After playing out a goalless draw with Ecuador in last week's opening Group B fixture, Brazil took a step toward the Copa America quarterfinals with a demolition of the Caribbean minnow courtesy of Philippe Coutinho's hat trick in Orlando, Florida.
Brazil was on the opposite end of a 7-1 drubbing against eventual world champions Germany in the World Cup semifinals two years ago, but Alves - wearing the captain's armband at Camping World Stadium - insisted that horrendous night in Belo Horizonte is in the past.
