Teams of the World Cup 2006 and their slogans!

[silversolitaire]

Since I'm getting into World Cup withdrawl a bit I've started to collect info on the teams. Just so I can always remember it! ^^ I'm especially trying to find the team names, because some have really cute ones (like Socceroos for Australia :3). For starters, I'm listing the slogans and I'll add the team names to it as I find them. Some of the slogans I couldn't write down because I didn't have the fonts >.>;. If someone happens to be able to write the slogans, by all means, tell me! Also, let me know where I messed up, since I had to type them all off the website since for some reason they've made all the slogans graphics... Probably because of said font problem! LOL.

The Us's is a bit lame...
Oh, and the Spanish one was dooomed for failure. Ilusion? As in "illusion" or "dream", as well as "goal" -- man, couldn't they pick another word? One with certainty behind it. Ha ha. No, wait, let me laugh in Spanish: Ja ja!

Yeah a couple of those crack me up big time XD;. The US one I always want to read as "United we play, united we fail!" Without malice, it just happens! hahaha... The Spanish one is hilarious when you just read the English translation. "One country, one goal"? Yeah sounds about right... don't think they scored much more! LOL The Costa Rican one just won't end. It reads like "The guys in the bus can't see a thing!" XD;
