Fantastic World Cup Team Posters

published 26 May 2014

The World Cup slogans may have been bad, but these are very very good.

ESPN commissioned the Brazilian artist Cristian Siqueira to design 32 posters celebrating each team taking part in the forthcoming World Cup. Each one features a country's footballing hero (or two) and incorporates their nicknames too.

All of them look joyful; sadly, once the action begins, not every team will end up so happy (with three matches a day for the first week or so, we'll be extremely happy regardless).

Take a look at all 32 posters below. 15 days to go...

He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK.
