Five Worst Things About The 2014 FIFA World Cup So Far

4. Vanishing white spray

Now, don’t get me wrong. This works, but people are talking about it as if it is a genius invention.

If you don’t know what I am referring to, referees at this summer’s World Cup all carry round what is effectively a can of shaving foam so that they can mark temporary white lines on the pitch.

Refs mainly use this to stop walls encroaching at free-kicks.

It doesn’t magically ‘vanish’ though, it takes a good few minutes to fade away… naff.
