South American rivals Argentina and Uruguay are both feeding their bid for the World Cup with prime beef.
The two nations have each brought 2,000lbs of meat to Qatar so that their players can enjoy a traditional barbecue called an asada during their down-time. The asada is a big part of the social scene in South America and is viewed like a traditional Sunday roast in the UK.
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni explained: “Meals like this are a big part of our identity and culture. These gatherings are a big part of family life in Argentina and they create a good atmosphere in the group.”
