By now you've all seen Maradona's reaction to being labelled a 'mufa' or 'bad omen' by Argentinian FA president, Julio Grondon. If you thought that superstitions were reserved solely for the Argies, then you're sorely mistaken.
The Brazilians are partial to some superstitions of their own. The host nation are looking for their sixth World Cup trophy, and have enlisted the help of a family with very unique attributes.
The Da Silva family are unique in that 14 of it's 24 members have been born with 6 fingers on each hand, locals have viewed their condition as a good omen as Brazil charge towards the World Cup final. The Da Silva family are proud of their extra appendages and are hoping that they will be able to count Brazil's World Cup trophies on one hand by the end of the summer.
