SARANSK, Russia (Reuters) - Sustained by Portuguese wine, cheese and sausage, and battling off swarms of mosquitoes, friends Carlos Brum and Pedro Lobito have driven their spectacularly decorated camper van 7,000km from Lisbon to Russia to cheer on their heroes in the World Cup.

Now they are in Saransk for Portugal's match against Iran on Monday. And the two fans are confident they will drive the van all the way to the final.
