Well it is time for arguably the most pointless match in football, the 3rd/4th place play off in the World Cup finals, a battle for the bronze medal if you like, a strange concept, like an International version of the Simod or Zenith Data Systems Cup - remember them?
Anyhow, I digress. It is Brazil versus Holland in the cook off blog series, where we take a look at how the two nations would do battle, if the game of football was played through the eyes of the humble national dish. That means it Feijoada of Brazil against Hutspot of Holland.
Both recipes and one from each of the 32 nations involved in the summer's tournament feature inside The Sixty6 Unofficial World Cup Cookbook, produced by Sixty6 Magazine's Editor in Chief, Mal Robinson. The cookbook is digital only and available in a number of formats including PDF and Kindle editions. Links to purchase the publication can be found below.

THE LINE UPS - BRAZIL
Feijoada sounds like a bar snack you would expect to find in the bar from Star Wars, you know the one with Han Solo and Greedo (aptly named for a cook off blog) and the vast array of dodgy characters. However, it is a very respectable bean stew, complete with trimmings of pork, ham shank and smoked sausage.
THE LINE UPS - HOLLAND
Hutspot is a dish consisting of carrots, turnip and potatoes all mashed together and usually served with other such Dutch delights like meatballs. It is very much a Dutch dish though - random and orange, but will that be in enough in the cook off?
THE COOK OFF
The Dutch implement a triangle formation before kick off, the potatoes sitting in the hole behind the carrots on the left and the turnip on the right flanks in a bid to nullify the threat of the Brazilian's assortment of ingredients from the tasty bean stew.
The formation does not work though, the combination of the meats, bay leaves and garlic from the South Americans, simply out tasting the mundane veggie mash up. Some pride is regained then for the home nation.
Verdict: Brazil 2 Holland 0
Headlines: "Hotspot for Hutspot as Brazilians get bean"
