For one month every four years the world comes to a hault. Enter, the 2014 FIFA World Cup. This year’s World Cup has already been exciting to follow – especially with USA’s big win over Ghana yesterday. But, we all know the scores of the games and the excitement that takes place on the field. What we don’t know is which teams are most particular when it comes to their living arrangements for the month.

Mental Floss did some research and ranked the top 10 most demanding teams. Surprisingly, or not, France made the top of the list. The France team requested they have security guards watch the maids who clean their perfectly identical rooms, and two different types of liquid soap – one for showering and one for washing hands.

Lucky for us, the United States didn’t even make the cut of most demanding teams. Others included Ecuador, who requested fresh banana deliveries every morning and a video game room, Iran, who needed daily dry cleaning, and Chile, who requested new beds and flat screen TVs in each room.
