Adding a rule, just in case anyone is plotting anything: the current wording (written before the race began on TB-run) says:
"The Footballer who travels the furthest by 25/12/14 and the first to make it to Brazil will be declared the winners."
Therefore, if your footballer starts its journey in Brazil, this will not count - to claim this half of the title, the TB will need to enter another country, and re-enter Brazil to win.
Have added this and amended some of the text at the top and on TB run
