These are all pretty awesome, though the Australian one is a little creepy.
I think they did a great job, the South Korean one stood out to me for some reason.
They are all great.. The Koreas have the best 2 I feel.. and I loved the idea of Swiss army knife..
quick info for the guy that drawn serbia: according to UN, Kosovo is STILL a part of Serbia.
UKRAINE IS WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of the factor for the World Champion 2010 are saying Spain will win the title. But usually it isn’t the big favourite that will win the tournament, so I think Brasil will make the race.
Kosovo is SERBIA!
I wish there were artworks of this year’s Women’s World Cup Soccer. For instance:
USA-Charlie’s Angels featuring Abby Wambach, Hope Solo, and Heather Mitts. perhaps alongside Landon Donovan from the men’s team as Charlie himself! LOL Or, Abby Wambach as Annie Oakley.
France-The Three Lady Musketeers featuring Sonia Bompastor, Corine Franco, and Camille Abily or Elodie Thomis as Joan of Arc on horseback!
Japan-Samurai warrior girls.
Germany-Birgit Prinz or Lira Bairamaj riding a black eagle with a soccer ball.
Sweden-Viking girls.
Brazil-Marta looking similar to that Cristiano Ronaldo mural.
Mexico-Aztec goddesses.
Canada-Girls on a maple leaf.
….And the list goes on.
