Even if your team is no longer in the running to win the 2014 FIFA World Cup, you can still enjoy these incredibly rendered anime world cup girls.
The artist known online as “大馬場十三” has gone to great length to personify every team playing in the world cup. Each anime world cup girl is given its own unique costume, which to some degree, reflects the culture and aesthetics of the country they are meant to represent. Spain has a matador look to her, Brazil’s costume is reminiscent of those one would find during Carnival, and America is wearing a red, white, and blue Iron Man-inspired armor.
Don’t worry if you can’t find the country you cheer for in the gallery, the remaining 22 countries can be found in the links.
