The Brazilians won all three games to qualify first in the group. Their 1–0 win against Croatia was through a goal late in the first-half by <a href="/wiki/Kak%C3%A1" title="Kaká">Kaká</a>.

The experience of past World Cups and public viewing was conceptualized in 4-week-long events for football supporters to meet, board, interact, partake in cultural activities and watch all 64 matches on giant video walls. Since 2004, the details on costs, logistics, safety issues, marketing and broadcasting rights were jointly hammered out by FIFA and the host cities.<sup id="cite_ref-54" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-54"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These public viewing events, known as "<a href="/wiki/FIFA_Fan_Fest" class="mw-redirect" title="FIFA Fan Fest">Fan Fests</a>" (<a href="/wiki/German_language" title="German language">German</a>: <i lang="de">Fanmeile</i>), served an idea to provide football supporters without tickets a legitimate opportunity to partake in the World Cup. Unlike the past tournaments where ticket-less fans were treated as security risks, the World Cup in Germany welcomed all supporters, thus generating positive atmosphere even before the tournament began. Even though security planners and media were sceptical and cautious on the matter of public viewing, the scepticism was cast aside with the beginning of the World Cup.<sup id="cite_ref-kos_55-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-kos-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Fan Fests for the World Cup were set up in 12 host cities and attracted 21 million visitors over the duration of tournament according to <a href="/wiki/German_National_Tourist_Board" title="German National Tourist Board">German National Tourist Board</a> (FIFA claimed there were over 18 million visitors).<sup id="cite_ref-dw_56-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dw-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a> Fan Fest was located at the pedestrianised <a href="/wiki/Stra%C3%9Fe_des_17._Juni" title="Straße des 17.
