As you watch the World Cup final, which is due to start any minute now, reflect on the fact that the players will be running up and down, as they have been throughout the tournament, on local Bermuda grass overseeded with perennial ryegrass produced by Manitoba farmers for DLF Pickseed. ((There may also be artificial fibres involved.)) No country is self-sufficient even in turf grasses. Not even mega-diverse Brazil. But at least it now has something to blame for that 7-1. Apart from David Luiz.
