World Cup 2014: six-finger family pledges support for Brazil:

Fourteen members of the Da Silva family who live near the capital, Brasilia, were born with six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, thanks to a rare genetic condition called polydactyly.

The family's sixth fingers function exactly as the others and don't hinder activities like cooking or guitar playing.

Female family members with six toes have had their sixth removed in order to fit into feminine shoes, but the men have kept all six.

The family are staunchly proud of their additional digits, and say they believe they can help the national team win their own sixth.

"Yes, of course, because we are giving so much energy for Brazil to win the Cup, and I believe this energy will flow onto the pitch and they will play really well and win their sixth World Cup," said 28-year-old Ana Carolina Santos da Silva.
