Top 8 World Cup products - we've got them all

Translation: machine translated
When 22 guys chase a ball, the world goes wild. The football World Cup in Russia is everywhere. All the more reason to present our top 8 trendy products for the occasion.
Cristiano "Cricri" Ronaldo's free kick against Spain: unforgettable. Mexico's 1-0 defeat of Germany ruined a number of bets. And Sweden still manage to score goals without their self-proclaimed football god. Over the next four weeks, even the anti-sports fans won't miss out on the football fury. So that you too, among your friends, can stand out as a super fan, I'm showing you a few must-haves from our range.
Hair in the wind
His hair was presented to the public at his country's opening match. He wore it with pride to face the Swiss national team. It even matched the colour of his jersey. He set trends and outshone all his opponents - with the exception of Behrami. But today, it's not him, but his hair that's the centre of attention. We're talking about Neymar and his hairstyle. Editor's tip: for optimum hold of the hairstyle, leave it to dry for a few minutes.
Elegant packaging
Want to shoot non-stop goals and look very arrogant handsome on top of it? Then accessories are the nuts and bolts. Many people think it's all about lifestyle or mentality, but no! It's all about the value. It gives you a unique chance to become a star. The yellow object not only offers enough space to store a daily ration of gel, but also provides room for razors and body lotions.
Go from spectator to actor
With Gianluca Rocchi, Elenito Di Liberatore, Mauro Tonolini, Massimiliano Irrati, Daniele Orsato and Paolo Valeri, six Italians are in the game. The referee, his two assistants and the three video referees ensure that everything runs smoothly. With an eagle eye, they watch every touch of the ball and intervene if necessary. There's no escaping them. And, if these gentlemen do a good job, we may even see them in the final. How do they say it again: rira bien qui rira...
The first time
The World Cup welcomes two newcomers. Iceland and Panama are taking part in this major football event for the first time. The Vikings have already impressed us at the European Cup - not just with their legendary Viking-Clap. And Panama brings plenty of Central American temperament and fun to the game. Who will stand out in this mix of fire and ice? Both teams got off to shaky starts. While Panama came away empty-handed against Belgium, the Icelanders did manage a point against Argentina. We like to be cautious the first time.
Deja vu
The South Korean coach was quoted as saying in an interview that his players had already started swapping knitwear during preparation and trial matches. "For Europeans, we all look alike. So the Swedes won't be able to tell exactly where our best players are." Clever Mr. Coach, but shouldn't you win as a team? It almost worked. The Swedes didn't mess around with the penalty. Dear South Koreans, a word of advice for next time: you can also tell a goalkeeper by his gloves, not just his shirt.
May the force be with you
The World Cup would be nothing without a powerful leader representing an entire country. This is probably one of the reasons why Russia won the right to organise it. After all, Mr Putin knows how to be convincing in his arguments. Organising such an event with a tight schedule, high security requirements and meticulous coordination requires an outstanding person. After all, there has to be a boss. And who better than the born leader himself?
I did this for free
You can never please everyone. The same applies to the football World Cup. Lots of people watch a match here and there, even if they're not interested in sport. We do what we have to do. Robbie Williams has shown how not to behave at such an event. Or at least not in front of the camera - whether two or three drunk people in a corner of the stadium or millions of spectators see it live makes a big difference. My advice: don't make any sudden moves and wait for it to pass. From 16 July at the latest, the main cast will once again be Dr. Derek Christopher Shepherd, Captain Matthew Casey and Homer Simpson.
The 12th member
Once again, Switzerland has assembled a fine team. The squad is fit, loves to play and can do great things. The national ice hockey team has already proved for a second time that (almost) anything is possible with the right team spirit. If the Moscow miracle is to be repeated for our football kings, they need your support. The 12th member on the pitch can make all the difference. Who argues with the players when they make a bad pass? Who screams at the TV when an obvious foul isn't whistled by the referee? Who shouts the national anthem into the Swiss night sky and even scares the neighbour's cat away? You do.
