WC 2006



I'm mostly posting this to remind myself to write more about the World Cup. I am very excited about it, even though I won't get to much watch of opening round stuff since I'll be doing that whole moving thing, but this poster is awesome and if for some reason someone reads this who is going, buy me this poster. I'll pay for it, I promise.

In the meantime, here's a funny breakdown for you non-soccer speaking folk. (link found on Deadspin)

Also via Deadspin, is this fabulous self-updating spreadsheet of WC.

You perv!

Also, I just did a google image search of WC 2006, I believe. The page I yanked it from was in German.

And the page is in Spanish, French, Portuguese and German. My bad.

I think after extensive research, that may not have been one of the winning posters. If it is one of the official ones, then it the only one they aren't hawking on about 10 different web sites.

BTW I am not a perv. Well... ok you got me. I'm sure you were shocked to find this out.

Well thanks for the research. Also, what site did you find selling the posters? I'd like to see them, but don't really have the time to look it up.

Finally, if this didn't make it, I'd better be damn impressed with the ones that did

I like the one you posted better than most of them, but they have a few that are cool.
