2013 Panini Road to 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Sticker Box | 50 Packs | Paraguay Edition | Factory Sealed

The 2013 Panini Road to 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Sticker Box holds 50 packs of five stickers each, 250 stickers in all, for Panini's 410-sticker Road to album — the collection released in 2013, while qualifying for Brazil was still being played. This is the edition sold in Paraguay: the box was made in Brazil, is printed in Spanish and names Distribuidora Bolivariana S.A. as distributor. The box is factory sealed.

The album covers 27 national teams chosen before the qualifying rounds had finished, from Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain and Italy to Japan, Algeria and Côte d'Ivoire. South America is represented in full: all ten CONMEBOL teams have a page, among them Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela, none of which went on to reach the tournament.

Ronaldo and Ibrahimović, Only One Ticket

Two of the album's biggest names ended up deciding each other's fate. Cristiano Ronaldo (sticker #323, Portugal) and Zlatan Ibrahimović (#352, Sweden) met in the European play-off in November 2013. Ronaldo scored the only goal of the first leg in Lisbon, then a hat-trick in a 3–2 win in Stockholm; both Swedish goals were Ibrahimović's. Portugal went to Brazil, Sweden did not — so this album holds a page for a team and a star who never played at the tournament it was building up to.

Brazil 2014

Germany won the World Cup, beating Argentina 1–0 after extra time at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro on July 13, 2014, with Mario Götze scoring in the 113th minute. Götze is sticker #46 in this album.
