32 Posters for the Participants of the World Cup: ESPN commisions 32 posters for each of the participants in the upcoming tournement. In addition to the cool art, here's an interactive calender to help you plan your viewing courtesy of Spanish website Marca.com (via MetaFilter).
The curse of the poster? Ballack, John Mikel Obi, Essien and (maybe) Drogba will miss out on the World Cup after featuring on their countries' posters.

The countries on the Marca feature are alphabetized, but according to their Spanish names. I need a bigger monitor for it.

However, Cahillaroo is going to give me nightmares.
In the second round? I hope so.

Having watched the US-Australia game the other day, he looks like the only one who knows where the goal is.
Old Laser Jesus looks about as likely to score as, well, Emile Heskey.

If the marsupial version of Cahill comes back to Everton next season, I hope they can keep Pienaar. They could deploy him from the pouch.

Michael Flatley's Portugal is funny, Slovenia's is clever.
However, Cahillaroo is going to give me nightmares.
