FIFA announced the bus slogans for the football world cup. The slogans will be printed on the team's official bus. The slogans were selected via a contest organized by FIFA in association with Hyundai. Some slogans are very good. I just wanted to dissect them and bring out a funny meaning from the slogan. Here's my feeble attempt.
Algeria - Star and crescent with
one goal: Victory!
Good to have a goal, but have to be realistic!
Argentina - Last stop: Glory
When is the last stop? 2014?
Australia - Dare to Dream,
Advance Australia
Are they their followers - How dare you dream of Aus advancing?
Brazil - The whole of Brazil is in here!
Stampede and hence no football!
Cameroon - The Indomitable Lions are back
Read it - The Indomitable Lions are back at home - there is no deer in SA to hunt.
Chile - Red is the blood of my heart, Chile will be
Champion
Blue is the color of sky, Chile will not be champions - Absolutely random
Côte d'Ivoire - Elephants, let's fight for victory!
Trying to fight? Elephants, lets physically run for victory!
Denmark - All you need is a Danish team and
a dream
All you need is a Danish team For a beer!
England - Playing with Pride
and Glory
Playing with Pride and Glory...not for victory!
France - All together for a new dream in blue
All "HANDS" together for a new dream
Germany - On the road to get the Cup!
Its hard to get in on the field!
Ghana - The hope of
Africa

Greece - Greece is everywhere!
Including your pockets and bank accounts!
Honduras - One Country, One passion, 5 Stars in the

One Country, One passion, 5 Stars in the
heart but no cup
Italy - Italian Azzurro on African sky
Ok! What's on the earth? No space for Azzuries on SA land.

Samurai spirit never dies! Victory for Japan!
Beware of Japan, Samurai war to be seen! Remind them it's football.
Korea DPR -1966 again! Victory for DPR of Korea!
Decades behind schedule!
Korea Republic - The Shouts of Reds, United Republic of Korea
Shouting doesn't win cups, good football does.

Inspiration for all first timers. Its time for you.
Netherlands - Don't fear the big five, fear
the Orange eleven
Horror movie on cards...Don't fear though

style
Wondering, how far can a kiwi kick a football!
Nigeria - Super Eagles super fan
united we stand
I thought eagles fly...but these stand.
Paraguay - The Guarani lion roars in South Africa!
This is African safari...You will only hear lion roars.
Portugal - One dream, one purpose… Portugal
victorious!
Hope you wake up from the dream!
Serbia - Play with the heart, lead with a smile!
And we will win hearts, not cup!
Slovakia - Shake the green field: Go Slovakia!
Earth movers on the prowl!
Slovenia - With eleven brave hearts to the end
Oh, they already scripted the end.
South Africa - One nation,
proudly united under one rainbow
As hosts, they are advertising their nation and not football.
Spain - Hope is my road, victory my destiny
One victory and destiny is reached!
Switzerland - "C'mon Switzerland!"
C'mon we miss you at home!
Uruguay - The sun shines upon us. Go Uruguay!
We do not win the evening games, Sun doesn't shine then!
USA - Life, Liberty, and the
Pursuit of Victory!
Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and now South Africa - The
Pursuit of Victory never ends.
PS - I did not participate in the contest. I do not intend to belittle the winners of the slogan contest. This blog is purely for fun.
