Strikers Romario (above) and Edmundo, who could be team-mates with Brazil next month, have little to think about. They are at odds over Romario's lavatorial sense of humour. Romario, who owns a theme bar in a Rio suburb favoured by the city's middle class, has had a cartoon of Edmundo painted on the door of one of the toilets and is refusing to remove it even though the former Fiorentina striker finds it offensive.
Edmundo said on Tuesday that he did not see the funny side of the cartoon, which features him alongside a former girlfriend.
"It depicts me with a person who does not bring me good memories," said the volatile striker, who is now married to another woman.
Romario has already been in hot water over his questionable taste in decor. Mario Zagallo, Brazil's coach at the last World Cup, took out a court order to force the player to remove a cartoon which depicted him squatting on a lavatory with his trousers around his ankles.
