Almost certainly not bent but it would appear that the occasion and the crowd etc got the better of him hence the way all the marginal (and non marginal) decisions all went in Brazil's favour. If he had made a bad decision against Brazil then he would not be considered for future rounds and the like.
It's no coincidence that when Ferguson was in charge of Manchester United it was hard to get a decision against them at Old Trafford whereas under Moyes that was not the case - the referees weren't bent but they were influenced (by fear).
