Today Japan play Greece in Natal. Both teams need a win.
Natal is just up the coast from Recife, is the closest Brazilian city to Europe, and home to the largest cashew tree in the world. That whole block of green above is one tree, which has spread by turning its low-hanging branches into roots. This should lead in to the fact that Brazil is the world's largest producer of cashews, but in fact they are seventh. Ivory Coast and Nigeria, who are both in this World Cup, rank higher in cashews.
[Final score: 0 - 0.]
