The 2010 South Africa world cup soccer or football, as it’s known in the rest of the world, is almost here. To honor, what is the biggest sporting event in the world (or the universe, as far as we know), ESPN teamed up with New York advertising agency Weiden+Kennedy to create unique posters for the 32 nations that are going to be participating in the games.
Each individual poster symbolizes football and the national traditions of those countries. These posters will be displayed in magazine ads, online ads, billboards, hand painted murals on buildings, buses, art gallery pieces and many other forms of advertising. (more posters after the jump)
As a major football (soccer) and world cup fan, I think these posters are awesome and makes me even more excited to watch the world cup. My favorite posters have to be the Japanese and Italian one and I think the French one looks a little fruity.

I’d like to see some booty (female, not male) in the Brazilian poster. I like the Algerian and Spanish posters the best out the bunch.

I think Spain will win the soccer World Champions title in South Africa. They are in a real good shape right now and won’t be stopped.
