A World Cup run by the future football governing body that shall be the BNP?

That's from the opening night wasn't it? Ashley Cole and his airgun.

Brazilian officials say they confiscated 39kg (86lb) of caramel spread from Uruguay's football team as it arrived in Brazil for the World Cup.

The spread, called dulce de leche, is extremely popular in Uruguay but the Brazilian authorities said that as it was made with milk, it needed sanitary documentation which was lacking.

Some fans are already blaming Uruguay's shock 3-1 defeat to Costa Rica on the lack of dulce de leche.

Uruguay will play England on Thursday.

The dulce de leche was seized from the team after it landed at Confins airport near their training camp in Sete Lagoas.

An official with the Brazilian agriculture department told Reuters news agency that the Uruguayans could have the dulce de leche back "as soon as they can produce the necessary documents".

"Or they can pick it up on their way out of Brazil," the official added.

It is not clear if one person carried the entire 39kg-stash or if the jars of the popular sweet paste had been distributed between the players.

Former Uruguay goalkeeper Juan Castillo said the team had also taken dulce de leche to the World Cup in South Africa, where they had not had any problems at customs.

Dulce de leche is made by cooking down milk with sugar, baking powder and vanilla extract.

It is very popular spread on bread, pancakes and biscuits, or poured over fruit or ice-cream.

Hmm.

Is anyone else struggling to get into the WC at the moment?

I was really looking forward to it, I've watched almost every game yet now it's almost a week in I'm actually not particularly excited by it. Yeah we've had a few goals and some decent results and performances, but it's been a bit meh so far IMO.

Maybe it's because of the season we've just had and I just want 2014/15 to start.

Hopefully I'll get into it more as the competition progresses.
