I love the posters, and hope they come on sale in my country.

I think all the posters are well one with particular honours going to Cannavarro, Gattuso and Materazzi.

I disagree Lazaro and think Materazzi did prove himself to be headbutt proof. He completed the game and scored what can only be described as a perfect PK.

Agreed, I never get tired at sneering and cutting up the French.

Unfortunately who would wan’t a poster of players who lost? Maybe the loved ones of the players but surely it wouln’t cover the cost to produce them.

Gorgeous, love the art deco style. I have a collection of art deco travel and propaganda posters from the 20s-40s. These would fit in very nicely.

Materazzi’s poster says “World-class solidity, proven to be head-butt-proof” – he certainly wasn’t headbutt proof when zizou smacked him down good, did he?

“Now if only they would come out with some ads featuring France….”

Why, just so you can sneer at the French some more, the way you do almost every day on this site? Anyway, I don’t think Nike has much connection to the French squad – ask Adidas.

That Gattusso ad is rad!
