Hundreds of millions of people around the world are now living in anticipation of the main football event of the four years - the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which is about to begin in South Africa. So, waiting for the World Cup, the American TV channel ESPN has released a series of posters dedicated to this large-scale tournament.
In Northern Ireland, frescoes are a very common type of painting. Almost every vacant wall in Belfast or any other Ulster city has a picture, most often of a political nature. But this is not just propaganda, these are real works of art, known all over the world.
It is in the style of these Northern Irish frescoes that a series of posters from the ESPN TV channel dedicated to the World Cup in South Africa have been released.
In total, there are 33 posters in the series - according to the number of countries participating in the championship, plus a poster dedicated to the tournament itself. Each of these posters plays up the national traditions and dignity of the country to which it is dedicated.
For example, French players are represented as musketeers, Italian players are represented as gladiators in the Colosseum arena, the German team is represented as an eagle from the German flag, and the American team is represented as pilgrims mooring to a new, unexplored shore.
