Schadenfreude is the great pleasure derived
By someone, from another person's misfortune
Its ironic that the Germans have a word to express
My pleasure at them being knocked out so soon

Now remember the end of WC-2014 and imagine how the Brazilians felt yesterday!
"I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "

Thanks Cacian, its the little things in life that keep us going
Its not widely used, except in the media, but i like it.
We dont have an equivolent word in English that so encapsulates the feeling.
We have Gloat and Revel, but they are tame in comparison.
Thanks Danik
