、、、、、 、 1930 7 17 A voodoo doll with five pins and the national emblems of all your enemy teams. Toilet paper with World Cup trivia. Pork slices emblazoned with a soccer player dribbling down the pitch.

Only 15 companies were awarded the right to market goods with the official World Cup logo and FIFA the world soccer organisation is on the lookout for any piracy.

They simply include soccer balls pitches goalposts and soccer phrases -- all of it in the public domain and not subject to any trademark laws -- in the hope that the World Cup euphoria taking hold of Germany will make their products irresistible.
