Business is business. :D Anyway, I wouldn't mind jerseys.

They probably do very good business! Jerseys are always cool. Scarves too. And maybe the little stuffed toys. Otherwise the stuff is pretty awful! :)

These 'things' are too ugly!

But shirts (not all) I would always take ;)

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

LOL. It seems to me they sell a lot of junk at the World Cup tournaments!

The shirts are cool. Only the Brazil shirt never changes, but I like some of the Mexican ones! It always changes, which is good! :)

I like the ZAKUMI but all others...

They make a lot money with all the 'junk'!

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

ZAKUMI is a very cute mascot. Some of them have missed the mark in the past...OMG...LOL. Have you seen the ugliest mascot ever? I believe it's for the upcoming Olympics in England. The one that looks like a giant thumb.

*LOL* 'one-eyed-monster' I don't like it!

The french mascot was also okay.

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

That's IT!!!! I hate the 'one-eyed monster'!

Yes, if they're cute they make nice plush toys! The French one could have been made to look more like Yoann and then I would have loved it! LOL.

[aglaiya.livejournal.com]

Yoann was still a 'baby' in 1998 *lol*

[just-jenni.livejournal.com]

I can hug a baby! LOLLLLL...

[aglaiya.livejournal.com]
