Cures 100% of your health in case of sports injury

For fans, the phrase "magic spray" refers to the potion's impossible restorative powers. If the magic spray "works," the player probably took a dive and faked his injury. Magical soccer cure-alls are nothing new. The sprays are in vogue now, but the team docs used to treat phantom injuries with something called the "magic sponge."

Shameless, some of these. The Italian player (yes, he's Italian) can do any number of things -- refuse the stretcher after its grand procession, take the stretcher just to walk it off on the sideline. But the spray? Unless you're afraid of a grass infection, I don't get it.

Coolant sprays are for cleaning the dust out of your computer, ya hear? And bandages usually aren't involved, so what's left is deception. World Cup injury spray is a myth. The only first aid spray that has any effectiveness, as I've already referenced, is the one from Resident Evil.
