Portuguese players should sport a moustache during the World Cup.

The Portuguese team is not looking very Portuguese for some. That is the opinion of some Coimbra footy fans who decided to create the campaign “We want Portugal sporting a moustache in South Africa” (Queremos a Selecção com bigode na África do Sul). I personally think that would be total awesomeness.

The campaign’s creator, Ivo Lapa, initiated the effort via a Facebook page. He gathered some people and they bought tickets right behind the goal on the friendly match between Portugal and China so that they could get TV attention and some press. The effort paid off and the page has around 2k fans. I just hope it could actually reach the players…

Imagine how cool: Carlos Queiroz and his entire squad sporting moustaches? Especially C. Ronaldo…

It’s finally out. The new Brazil uniform to be used in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was released today in London with Alexandre Pato as mannequin (even though he is not in Dunga’s current plans it seems – Barcelona did not release Dani Alves to the event). The new uniform is not only beautiful but also green – as in ecologically correct green.

The new shirt material is made out of 8 recyclable plastic bottles and the it is also 100% recyclable. Another interesting fact is that the yellow jersey became 15% lighter then the one used in World Cup 2006. Goof stuff.

Brazil will use the new uniform next Tuesday when they face Ireland in a friendly in London.

Oh 1966… England’s only World Cup title came in that year. So why not find inspiration in the shirt used by that team? England’s new away kit is very similar to the one used by the Queen’s squad in 66. Very nice indeed.

Ok for a third option. Not my favorite whatsoever. What do you think?

Now that Argentina has finally secured a spot in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, they can present the new uniform to be used next year. The new kit is very loyal to past Argentinian shirts and does a great job of keeping the pajama feel
