FOOTBALL-mad brothers Tim and Harry Sutton are hoping that World Cup mania will launch them into a new career.
They have set up a company called Country Cuffs, producing wristbands for each of the 32 countries taking part, selling them to pubs, bars and sports clubs.
Tim, 30, who lives in Sutton, near Stanton Harcourt, said: “We expected the English bands to go well, but interestingly the other countries are selling well.
“People always seem to have a second team, whether it’s through travel or because they have family there, or even because they like the style of band or the style of football.”
He gave up his job with an estate agent to develop the idea with his brother, 23.
The bands cost £2 each and the brothers plan to donate part of any profits made to United Through Sport, a charity for underprivileged areas in South Africa.
