While the world of fans and professionals has their eyes fixed on the pre-organizational defeat of Brazil 2014, and while the average Italian prepares in Fantozzian style to cheer on the curve with ice-cold beer and omelette, we wanted to select 4 challenges on the field in the first group, that of Italy, and transport them to the kitchen.
1. Mexico - Cameroon (June 13).
Imagine a mascot disguised as a giant guacamole with fluttering helium balloon totopos. And now imagine fufu, the cassava polenta that is the Cameroonian national dish, distributed in the stands of the Maracana in a futuristic bento.
The challenge could be called "spice against spice", a fratricidal clash between cuisines at the antipodes. It ends even: 1 to 1, with a goal from a corner kick from "the painter" Jalapeno.
2. Japan - Colombia (June 24).
Japan starts the attack from the first minute, with the favor of the whole stadium that praises the Japanese with choirs like "Sushi, sushi alé alé". Colombia responds, not too convinced, which seems to be studying the opponent, perhaps numbed by the aroma of wasabi released by the opponents.
From the ruminant Colombian bench, player number 10 enters who, dribbles one, two, three, all and bags into the net in less than 22 seconds. The most fanatical Japanese do not take it well: in the field patacones (fried plantains, typical Colombian discs) are raining.
1 to 0 for Colombia.
3. Italy - Costa Rica (June 20).
The Italian brigade has on its side a Mediterranean diet made up of DOP products, with pasta, olive oil and tomatoes that have crossed the ocean in business class accompanying the players on the world trip. There were not even the biscuits of the grandmother of Novara, the cheese of the Sardinian uncle, the tortellini of the Emilian girlfriend.
The 11 of Costa Rica, on the other hand, play on lightness with the national dish, gallo pinto: a mix of rice, black beans, onions and sour cream served with cornmeal, cheese and egg buns.
3 to 1 for Italy (also because otherwise you would say what an owl!).
4. USA - Germany (June 26).
Subtitle: hamburger VS frankfurter. Too easy? Then we come to the culinary details: ketchup is pressing on blueberry sauce from the first minutes after the initial whistle.
The top scorer of Brazil 2014, a Texan stallion raised to the sound of 4-pound buffalo steak, comes to help from the US half. Easy for him to mock the timid defense of the hallucinated Germans from Apfelstrudel. The public, in a frenzy, dines on gurmet hamburgers that have now also colonized Brazil and are distributed at the stadium.
USA 2 - Germany 0. The sky is over Berlin.

How to eat chicken and save yourself from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil
In many countries around the world they eat chicken wings as if there is no tomorrow. Not in Italy. I wouldn't make it a matter of gastronomic civilization (maybe a little bit). I would certainly make it a matter of patience and self-denial. The point is, net of the taste, chicken wings are inedible. No, […]
Montolivo does not go to the World Cup in Brazil. It will not be the Simmenthal
A fatal nightmare my horizon. Indeed a nightmare within a nightmare: the soccer world cup (especially their media dominance and the pain in the ass of journalists and fans) and Simmenthal's cans of meat. I had removed them from my memory then here comes this one, a certain Riccardo Montolivo to ruin everything. Okay, I don't follow football very much. […]
While waiting we played Italy - Germany between wine & cuisine
If the Italians knew they were Italians they would stop envying the Germans because they are richer, more orderly and more stable. They would remember that the infinite challenge, staying with the ball, has given us more joys than pains. That legendary 4-3 of 1970 should suffice, commemorated in everlasting memory by a golden plaque in the Azteca stadium in Città […]
