im in favour of the uruguay poster...i think it looks great. Cubist in nature.

The Germany 2006 one is incredibly dull and unimaginative. I'd say the Spain 1982 one was by Joan Miro - nowt like Dali! And didn't the tournaments used to be a lot shorter?!

Damn - didn't spot your post before posting mine and now see you got in before me on the Miro. But I'd say the Uruguay one was Art Deco rather than Cubist.

its a funny one that Uruguay poster.on further inspection id be leaning towards art neuveu...but really it is a combo of all three.:handshake:

Miro also designed a poster for Barca in the eighties, im a big fan of that...looks great.:cool:

theres some really good WC 2006 posters on there aswell. A well known artist from each continent did a limited edition print.

Miro is a legend IMO, crazy stuff, but i like it.:rock:

Agreed, really like that poster.

The Germany one this year was good.
