Soccer World Cup Teams Given Anime Girl Mascots

Hahaha, a couple of these are just bizarre. I like Algeria and Iran with their oh-so-chaste veiled faces and bikini outfits! And Germany looks like Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Wasn't she even supposed to have been trained there? But she wasn't a German citizen herself or was she the child of immigrants/people who like Japanese names? Bosnia and Herzegovina is just depressing, though. England looks awesome, although that sort of character and pose would've seemed more appropriate for France (Jeanne d'Arc, anyone?); I guess their actual one isn't a bad fit, either, though. Overall a silly but sometimes enjoyable endeavour, thanks.
Its like a sexier, more violent version of Hetalia
I for one approve
Also, the fact that England looks so badass when we got kicked out before it even started~ And that we're a flat chest...

Colombia is a reference to Carlos Valderama:Tono Makt said:
Algeria I think is meant to be a belly dancer, not completely out of Algeria's remit, seeing as the Western term was coined to describe the dancing of some tribes native to Algeria.
Yeah, Iran and Bosnia were a little bit cringe inducing.
Now we've seen something like I wonder if someone will make an anime based on the world cup from qualifiers to the finals. I thinking along the lines of Galactik football minus the weird stuff. Now I'm beginning to wonder how my homeland Zimbabwe would look like since the team's nicknames is the warriors and one of the team songs is about having a BBQ.
Captcha: cloud nine.I'm some way there.

Yeah, same here. Especially cause so much of anime is dominated by the whole "cute girls doing cute things" genre. It was ok at first, but there's just way too much of it now. I really want to see more stuff like Monster, Mushishi, Trigun, Samurai Champloo, etc.Dr. Crawver said:
Nice Trottimus avatar, BTW.
Yeah, it's overdone.SKBPinkie said:
Also, you're the first person to date I believe who has noticed it.
There are some good ones, but the "WTF!?" award goes to Switzerland. A block of cheese and a Swiss army knife. Nothing else they could think of? I mean Brazil got the dancer, Russia got eagles, can't remember the one dressed like a lion, and one even had a pet lion. Still they are some cool pics.
I'm amazed it took this long until it show up.
There are a lot of stereotypes that I couldn't figure it out at all though. But anyway, obviously the Brazil one would be a carnaval dancer. I just find it odd for her to be blond... Not like there isn't blonds here, it's just not what I would have pictured.

I find the gallery really slow to navigate and because of that I didn't make it through the whole thing. Sorry if that makes me a terrible person.
Oh, it could have been much worse.Arawn said:
The German one could have been in a dirndl costume covered in BMW and Mercedes badges.
The Dutch one could have been a Dutch milkmaid sitting on a massive pile of weed in the Amsterdam Red Light District.
Belgium could have just been Manneke Pis with wafels, fries and chocolate.
The French one could have been guillotined with her head in a basket with blue cheese and escargot.
The British one could have been an overweight orange Essex girl that looks slightly like Jeremy Clarkson.
And the American one could have been the female version of this:
I love these, saved them to my computer the other day.
Although i'll agree that the Bosnia Herzegovina girl is a bit depressing, I can see why he did it, every time I saw the team on T.V. all the players talked about was the recent war. It isn't what defines their country but it's important none the less.

Lol the Honduras one is hilarious. The letter H stands for sex in Japanese slang, that's why she's blushing as she looks at it.
Okay, why exactly is the U.S. girl not wearing the Captain America costume? Don't say it's "too easy." This entire collection is almost exclusively going for the "too easy" option to the point of tastelessness.
Having the soccer girls above wear uniforms with their nation's flag on them would do the trick. That presents its own issue (nationality is informed as opposed to apparent), but at least it's not an eyesore or annoying.archiebawled said:
