Int'l Rugby Referee Nigel Owens Zings Brazil With 'Brokeback Mountain' Tweet After Loss to Germany

The next few days are going to be kind of long for Brazil's soccer fans. After spending a fortune on hosting the World Cup they were dismissed in embarrassing fashion by the German team 7-1. Not only was it the worst defeat the team has since 1920, but it was the worst ever for a team in a semifinal game.

As could be expected people around the world are having fun at Brazil's expense--including international rugby referee Nigel Owens.

Owens--who happens to be openly gay--sent this little treasure out in to the world following Germany's shellacking of Brazil:

The Brazilian team would have probably had a better semi if they had gone to watch BrokeBack Mountain tonight instead.
