This is a game both for people who love the World Cup and for those who hate it. Basically a game for all who like to drink.

The caramel spread is extremely popular in Uruguay and the national squad arrived with 86 lbs of it when they touched down at Confins airport, near their training camp in Sete Lagoas, in Minas Gerais.
However, officials have said the spread needed sanitary documentation to be brought into the country as it was made with milk.

The squad apparently took the spread to the last World Cup, in South Africa, where they reached the semi-finals.
Uruguayan newspaper El Pais reportedly declared: “Uruguay’s 3-1 defeat in its World Cup debut could have another explanation: a lack of dulce de leche after Brazilian health authorities seized a consignment brought by the national team.”
And the Mirror quotes a local press agency as saying: “At times a defeat can be down to non-footballing things. Why not?”

Down in Texas, the USMNT captain has a hip-hop alter ego.
The Texas-born player scored a goal only 34 seconds into the World Cup opener against Ghana, despite being subjected to a now infamous massive kick in the face by an opposing player.

A sampling of violent wordplay.
The term's origin is debated, but it became commonly used to describe the bloody scalps of Native Americans, which were sold for profit.
The football team, which was originally based in Boston and called the Braves, reportedly changed its name to Redskins in 1933 avoid confusion with the baseball team of the same name.

Because there’s more going on in Brazil than just soccer.
Tensions have been high in Brazil during the 2014 World Cup and in the months leading up to it because many are upset that $11 billion has gone towards preparing to host the games instead of people of Brazil. Photojournalist Mario Tama has been documenting on some of the realities in Brazil aside from the glitz and glam of the World Cup.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office canceled the football team’s trademark on the name “Redskins.” The team says they will appeal the decisions. Here’s what might happen next.

The decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that the name is "disparaging to Native Americans" is the second time in as many months that the U.S. government has now involved itself twice in the debate over the racial tones of the Washington football team moniker.
Last month, 50 U.S. senators sent NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a letter pleading that the league step in and change the name. Sen. Harry Reid also compared Daniel Snyder to, you guessed it, Donald Sterling.
By continuing to defend the name, Snyder risks inextricably aligning himself with the likes of Sterling. If he agreed to change the name, he could salvage what is left of his reputation.
Owner Dan Snyder's position to date has been to ignore the problem and rely on the fact that he inherited the name when he bought the team. But by appealing the ruling, the Redskins owner won't have the luxury of continuing to make that excuse. If he wins his appeal, more than ever he becomes the person responsible for the name.
Let's face it: There is not much positive about Snyder-era Redskins. The team's overall record under his ownership is 104-136 since Snyder took over in 1999. He has gone through 8 coaches in 14 seasons. And he once even sued his season-ticket holders who couldn't pay during the 2008–09 recession. Maybe this is a chance for some positive PR.

It costs $325 to register a trademark online, and the legal fees to complete the process wouldn't be more than double that. It's certainly not a big expense for a pro sports team to incur.
In fact, several pro sports teams have gone through the process recently. For example, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays became the Tampa Bay Rays in 2003; the Tampa Bay Buccaneers changed their logo last year; and the Washington Bullets changed their name to the less violent-sounding Washington Wizards in 1995.
"Monitoring the team's positive brand equity is key," sports law professor and lawyer Marc Edelman said. "But there are so many things [the Redskins] could do very easily without losing their history," for example, becoming the Washington Hogskins, Washington Red Hogs, or just Washington Hogs, something with a positive connection to the current team.
In fact, the longer this debate goes on, the more expensive it may be. Edelman says Drinker Biddle & Reath, the law firm representing the plaintiff who filed the case against the Redskins, is a well-known and respected firm that won't go down without a fight. That fight will surely cost the team a lot more than what it would cost to just trademark a new name.
CRIIIIIIIIIIIKEY.
