Brazilian voodoo needles opponents

Never mind the vuvuzelas, Brazilian World Cup fans are giving rivals Argentina the needle with some voodoo 'fun.'

Brazilian sports daily Lance and Mexican equivalent Record reported that voodoo-style dolls of Argentina in particular have proved a hit.

A Brazilian website, voodoocopa.com.br, has been selling the 15cm-tall dolls with five needles included.

"Stab your pin with the best of intentions," said the advertising blurb which accompanies the site.

There's even a doll of Argentina coach Diego Maradona - though there's also one of Brazil's own - much maligned - Dunga.

The men behind the site, Rodrigo Fachel and Daniel Kamagusuku, told Lance that dolls dressed in the colours of France, Italy and Germany were also quite popular.

"It's just a bit of fun," they told Lance.

Record noted that last year their office also had a doll ready for when Mexico met regional rivals the United States.

"It didn't help much - and it caused a furore," the paper noted.
