What do you think of them?
In general, I think they are very good. I like the one from Chile (comparing the red of the heart with the red shirts of "La Roja" - "The Reds", which is the Chilean national team's nickname), also the Netherlands message (contrast between the Big Five and the Orange Eleven). The weakest one seems to be Greece's "Greece is everywhere" which makes no mention of victory, playing with the heart etc. that most of the slogans have. Brazil's slogan is similar to that of Greece but at least stresses national support for the team. ▲ Collapse

Dear Gemma,
I did not know that Spain was also "La Roja" - but you have a great team anyway!

I thought only Spain was La Roja (marea roja, furia roja) ... but there is Chile and the Korea Republic who also are red.
I think my favorite slogan is New Zealand's Kickin’ it Kiwi style
Saludos,
Liz

Apparently the unofficial slogan here is ABE - I'll leave it to you to figure it out

Not sure about the English translation. I would have personally translated "Rozbehníme to" as "Let's Roll".

| | | | | Italian slogan | Jun 13, 2010 |
I saw the Italian one on the side of the team bus, with the accompanying translation...
Italian Minister Calderoli says we all have to make sacrifices given the economic crisis, and that footballers should too... I guess the translation department was the first to be affected
| | | | | I'm with North Korea | Jun 13, 2010 |
A repeat of 1966 works pretty well for me.
Meanwhile, @Rad, look, "let's roll" sounds almost sensible. Anyone would think you'd actually watched a football match and heard the kind of thing that gets said. Quite frankly, I find that attitude appalling. What we need is more ludicrousness and less brain. I love "shake the green field" and will be recommending that our own FA adopt it sharpish.

Italy
Il nostro Azzurro nel cielo d'Africa
(Italian Azzurro on African sky)
Correct translation is: Our Azzurro on African sky
happy world cup!

| Slogans and supporters' songs at World Cup | Jun 14, 2010 |
I can't hear supporters at all, since my TV is buzzing from the sound of vuvuzela horns on each match. lol I wonder what it's like for the people who are actually present at the stadium.

| Slogans from TV/Newspapers | Jun 14, 2010 |
Some of these are actually quite telling. In Spain we're all singing "sí podemos" (yes we can), but Britain's biggest selling daily The Sun (scary I know) says "maybe, just maybe". Hmmmm....

| The slogan when they get back... | Jun 14, 2010 |
...will probably be "you can take your vuvuzelas and ........." (I'll leave it up to you to complete the sentence).

| the horns become a sort of white background noise | Jun 15, 2010 |
for me...and usually by the end of the game (unless it's one I've been looking forward to) I feel like I just can't fight them anymore, and end up falling asleep!

Yep, there are several things one could do with them... I mean no offence to South Africans, but these horns are scaring me off the screen; haven't managed to watch a single match till the end.
