The World Cup

The World Cup. Its effects on the economic output of countries worldwide is real. Rate of work absence is the single biggest problem during the World Cup. And the gambling created by the office pools during the games.

 

The World Cup this year uses a new invention. The Vanishing Spray.

 

The spray has been used for several years in South and North America's domestic leagues but this is the first time it has been used in the World Cup.

Argentinian journalist and businessman Pablo Silva developed the spray called "9:15 Fairplay," a reference to the free-kick distance requirement.

The spray is a mixture of butane, isobutane and propane gas, a foaming agent, water; and chemicals. When it leaves the can, the gas depressurizes and expands, creating small, water-covered droplets on the field. The butane mixture later evaporates, leaving only water and surfactant residue behind.
