World Cup 2010 ... Clash of the Major Contenders Begins

One of the most spectacular sports events, World Cup 2010 is getting closer to its climax.  During the first two games of the quarter finals, Netherlands, whose legendary former captain Johan Cruyff failed to help bring home the coveted trophy back in 1974, put the Brazilians out of the tournament to clinch a spot in the semifinals.  They will be facing another South American team, Uruguay, who won in Penalty kicks over Ghana, whom I hoped to emerge the winner as the only remaining nation from the host continent Africa.  This has been an amazingly unpredictable tournament so far.  The other two games of the quarterfinals are set to start in a few hours where Argentina and Germany are going to face off and Spain is going to play against Paraguay.


Remember that all the participating nations are winners simply for having been to the tournaments and having billions of eyes watch their players show their spectacular talents in a passionate exchange of some entertaining sports spectacle.   As a creative tribute to all the teams and their fans around the globe, we have been working on some graphic art representing each country name in the form of their national animal, based on what we believe to be reasonably accurate listings of different national animals found on Wikepedia and elsewhere on the net.

Here are the designs for the final 8 teams. See if you can read these.  Use your imagination a little and have fun.  If you are having tough time reading these, or to see more designs and order t-shirt or other merchandise to show your passion and support for your favorite team, feel free to visit us online at http://www.fontilica.com
