Brazilians just won't experiment
There is no dearth of mystique and meaning in a Brazilian footballer's name be it Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Socrates, Zico, or Garrincha…..
There's a chap named Victor on Brazilian bench as well. Truth be told, little Bernard is a real dazzler and is believed to be on the radars of Tottenham and Arsenal but he will most likely to be warming the bench as Brazilians seems to have stopped trying new faces.
Shaving foam on the pitch
The issue of encroachment during a free-kick 25 yards from the goal might finally have been dealt with in this world Cup.
Referees will use vanishing spray in the World Cup for the first time this summer, drawing a foamy circle around the ball and a line 10 yards away to keep that pesky wall at bay. The spray is non-toxic, water-based and designed to fade from the pitch after a minute.
