After Neymar took a knee to the back against Colombia in the World Cup quarterfinals, all appeared lost for the host nation. Their unquestionably best player was ruled out and a match against a powerful German side loomed. But all was not lost. The Brazilian equivalent of Don Draper swooped in to save the day. Thanks to an inspiring hashtag and the coordinated printing efforts of several Brazilian ad agencies, 120,00 thousand creepy-ass masks have been printed out and will be given to fans inside the Estadio Mineirão and elsewhere around the country.

If you want, you can print out your own here. You'll be scaring children and the elderly in no time, provided you've got enough toner.

The match begins at 5PM local time in Belo Horizonte, but the dreams these visages cause will begin somewhat later and last slightly longer.
