The Japanese football team recently landed in Brasil, ready to participate in the FIFA World Cup having travelled there in nothing other than a Pokémon branded jet, as shown via Twitter.

Japanese airline All Nippon Airways has several planes branded with the iconic characters from Nintendo. The football team used a plane like the one below. Maybe it'll help their keeper catch a few more balls than usual...

Update: This has since been proven to be a hoax.
