The 2014 World Cup kicks off in Brazil this Thursday, when the host nation takes on Croatia in the opening match. The month-long tournament is the globe’s largest sporting event, but even if you’re not much of a fan of the original game of football there’s still a whole bunch of entertaining shenanigans and spectacles to enjoy as part of the event’s backdrop. Such as, say, a photo montage of various dog breeds in appropriate nationality soccer jerseys.
