The World Cup kicks off in Brazil this week. Hearts are also starting to beat faster in football-crazy Thailand. To get into the mood, a team of Jumbos played against schoolchildren. 

The schoolchildren had more than their hands full slaloming between the colossi. And then try to score again, with five of those ten-tonners guarding the goal. Naturally, this 'match' was organized as a nod to the real World Cup, although the aim was also to discourage gambling.
