Fifa came up (seemingly through a public vote on their website) have come up with a slogan for each country which is plastered down the sides of their team buses.

They are, pretty much without exception, truly fucking awful. Especially the Swiss one...

    Angola - "Angola lead the way – our team is our people"

    Argentina - "Get up, Argentina are on the move"

    Australia - "Australia Socceroos – Bound for glory"

    Brazil - "Vehicle monitored by 180 million Brazilian hearts"

    Costa Rica- "Our army is the team, our weapon is the ball. Let's go to
    Germany and give it our all"

    Côte d'Ivoire - "Come on the Elephants! Win the cup in style"

    Croatia – "To the finals with fire in our hearts"

    Czech Republic – "Belief and a lion's strength, for victory and our fans"

    Ecuador – "Ecuador my life, football my passion, the cup my goal"

    England - "One Nation, One Trophy, Eleven Lions"

    France – "Liberté, egalité, Jules Rimet"

    Germany - "For Germany, through Germany"

    Iran - "Stars of Persia"

    Italy – "Blue pride, Italy in our hearts"

    Japan - "Light up your Samurai spirit!"

    Korea Republic - "Never-ending legend, united Korea"

    Ghana – "Go Black Stars, the stars of our world"

    Mexico - "Aztec passion across the world"

    Netherlands – "Oranje on the road to gold"

    Paraguay – "From the heart of America... this is the Guarani spirit"

    Poland – "White and red, dangerous and brave"

    Portugal – "With a flag in the window and a nation on the pitch. Força
    Portugal"

    Saudi Arabia - "The Green Hawks cannot be stopped"

    Serbia and Montenegro - "For the love of the game"

    Spain – "Spain. One country, one goal"

    Switzerland – "2006, it's Swiss o'clock"

    Sweden – "Fight! Show spirit! Come on! You have the support of everyone"

    Togo – "A passion to win and a thirst to succeed"

    Trinidad and Tobago - "Here come the Soca Warriors – the fighting spirit of the Caribbean"

    Tunisia – "The Carthage Eagles... higher and stronger than ever"

    Ukraine – "With our support, Ukraine cannot fail to win!"

    USA - "United we play, United we win"

I disagree. The Swiss one is clearly the best.

Sweden on the other hand - lets hope their game is as bland as their slogan tonight!

Doug - "United in my common cause for success. Aspire to Dream! (TM)"
