National soccer teams land in Brazil in style

National teams from around the world have been arriving in Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, transforming the tarmac into a makeshift runway. Since there's no particular dress code, teams arrive in a variety of attire ranging from training gear to power suits. Noticeably different from other leagues like the NBA, all players dress alike to show solidarity - those who play together arrive in style together.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup kicks off in Brazil on June 12 and excitement is building around the world! Whether you're an avid soccer fan or a casual observer, it's impossible to resist the contagious energy of this global sporting event. National pride plus incredible athleticism, passionate fans and a whole lot of noise courtesy of the caxirola (replacing South Africa's vuvuzela) make the World Cup a special experience for any sports fan.

Just one or one in every sport?
