Twitter has been invaded by racist comments on this Friday (13) afternoon, right after Spain's defeat 5 to 1 for Holland, on a match played at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador. The reason: Brazilian supporters cheers for Holland has, apparently, bothered the Spanish, who got to the absurd limit of calling the Brazilians "monkeys".


Tweets with the word "monkey" have quickly become common on the social net. The messages complained about the Brazilian reaction, asserting that they got even more joyful than the Dutch themselves.


Here are some examples: "Brazilian monkeys, may you starve for the rest of your lives"; "Brazilian monkeys. As you have nothing to do, you are glad with Spanish defeat and make an "ola". Poor you".
