Donovan Murders Wayne Rooney!

What is there to say about this image besides the fact that it is incredible? Beyond the hold-your-breath matches, infallible fandom and myriad talking heads the World Cup will surely provide us, soccer-related artwork has become commonplace in the weeks leading up to South Africa. From ESPN’s caricatures of the USMNT on the Delaware River to The Free Beer Movement’s USA/England photoshop work from a few weeks ago, the World Cup has inspired a wealth of different artistic interpretations honoring the world’s sport. Maybe the designer above has taken it a bit too far with such graphic imagery, but it’s all in good fun, right? Feel free to offer your perspective below along with links to your favorite examples.
