Photos: Watermelons carved to look like Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar

Brazil’s starting to get weird about this World Cup business.

By carving some watermelons – presmuably they just had a few extra lying around – into the likeness of Cristiano Ronado, Lionel Messi and local boy Neymar.

Take a gander at the photos by clicking to scroll through them above. All in all, they look pretty good for a watermelon carving.

Personally, I think I still prefer my elaborate carvings on pumpkins.
