As Euro 2008 approaches its climax, souvenir producers are growing more inventive. A new amulet sold in Spain offers a new way for Spanish football fans to help their team win the tournament. A ‘set for fans’ consists of a voodoo doll with a box of pins&n
The advertisement for 'Otto' on de.cuatro.com guarantees that the amulet is 100% effective and will ensure Spain wins their games in Euro 2008. ‘Sting me to become champions!’ the doll calls on the buyers.
You can choose the necessary country’s flag as a number of these are included in the set, stick it on the doll, write a player's name with a marker and do whatever you want with a toy that represents opponents of the Spanish team. The cost of the doll is less than 10 euros.
Spain face Russia in the second semi-final on Thursday.
