Soccer World Cup Teams Given Anime Girl Mascots

This article is over 10 years old and may contain outdated information

There isn’t an anime about the Soccer World Cup, but if there was, we’d imagine it would look something like this.

There are very few things that can’t be improved with the addition of anime girls, and these fantastic anime girl representations of the 32 Soccer World Cup teams is proof of that. One stunning artist has done his best to imagine what each team would look like if an anime girl was representing them, and I have to say, he’s done a pretty good job. Nice, little touches, such as the cheese hat on Switzerland, or Asuka making an appearance as Germany’s mascot, really help bring the girls to life.

There (currently) isn’t an anime about the World Cup, but if there was, we’d imagine it would look something like this:

As an Aussie, I was particularly happy with the Socceroos anime girl, but the French, Mexican and Swiss girls are definitely among my favorites. A few are a little on the offensive side, but most of them are in pretty good taste.

I’m not really a sports guy, so I haven’t been too interested in the competition, but if someone were to make an anime featuring these kick-ass mascots, I’d probably be more inclined to watch.
