FIFA have released the slogans that will be on the sides of the team buses during the World Cup, as voted for on their website. Some of them, you'll be surprised to learn, are deeply questionable:

Argentina - "Get up, Argentina are on the move"
Hint: don't put "get up" in the slogan for a South American country. "Go to ground", possibly

Costa Rica - "Our army is the team, our weapon is the ball. Let's go to Germany and give it our all"
Not that football should be officially connected with violence

France – "Liberté, egalité, Jules Rimet"
Dreams of pre-1970 football rather than friendship? Sounds about right

Germany - "We are football"
No you aren't

Korea Republic - "Never-ending legend, united Korea"
Although the North being a seperate international entity that didn't qualify spoils that image a bit

Spain – "Spain. One country, one goal"
That's our money off Raul or David Villa as Golden Boot winner

Switzerland – "2006, it's Swiss o'clock"
We hope to god this is knowing irony

Ukraine – "With our support, Ukraine cannot fail to win!"
Is that legally binding?
