Warpaint of football fans: everything for victory!

There is no football without fans: they are ready to give everything for the victory of their favorite team and spare neither money nor time to support their club. The brightest images of the 2014 World Cup are in our photo gallery.

Eyes of Brazil

This fan looks at the game through the eyes of Brazil: through contact lenses in the color of the Brazilian flag, he watches the performance of the national team, or, as they are called here, chosen ones. Big dream – to win the championship – did not come true. And even despite the defeat in the match for third place against the Dutch national team, the pentacampeons can try to win back the love of their fans.

Losing to Brazil? Never! This Frau Antje, the character from the advertising of Dutch cheese, which has become a symbol of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, will not tolerate. Whether Frau wards Louis van Gaal pampered with a piece of cheese after the game remains unknown. In the meantime, she is happy to pose for cameras.

Smile!

The defeat of my national team against these Dutchmen? Not to be like this! – this fan seems to be saying. But Mexico had to say goodbye to the championship 1/8 finals after the second goal in the 94th minute from the Dutch striker Klaas Jan-Huntelaar. So this beauty did not throw a sombrero into the air.

Heroes in tights

This trio of Mexican fans could easily pass for fans of the Italian national team. The flags of the two countries differ in that the Aztec eagle, the symbol and coat of arms of Mexico, is located in the center of the Mexican flag. According to legend, an eagle with a snake in its paws, standing on a cactus in the center of Lake Texcoco, showed the Aztecs the place where they built the capital of Tenochtitlan.

Black-red-. green?

A small problem happened to the German fan in the photo on the right. Black forehead, red eyes, nose and cheeks, but … a green beard? Perhaps he fell victim to the eternal trouble of hairdressers, when the color on the box is radically different from the final result. Or a German fan just creatively stuck a piece of a football field right on his chin.

Oh you!

The red and blue Yin-Yang spiral or Eum-Yang in Korean is at the center of the South Korean flag. It is logical that a fan of the national team painted his face with these colors. There was also a place for the flag of Brazil. Alas, despite such talents of the fans, South Korea left the championship without a single victory.
