The official World Cup mascots since 1966

Since 1966 all FIFA World Cups had an official mascot. Looking back the recent years I can hardly remember any of them. Ok, I do remember in Goleo, but I completely forgot about eg Spheriks, the mascot of the 2002 Korea/Japan World Cup. The name doesn't even ring a bell... Nevertheless - here is a list of all official mascots since 1966:

• 2010 South Africa Zakumi (leopard)
• 2006 Germany GOLEO IV & Pille (lion & ball)
• 2002 Korea/Japan Spheriks or Ato, Kaz & Nik (energy)
• 1998 France Footix (cockerel)
• 1994 United States Striker (dog)
• 1990 Italy Ciao (stick figure player)
• 1986 Mexico Pique (hot pepper)
• 1982 Spain Naranjito (orange)
• 1978 Argentina Gauchito (footballer)
• 1974 Germany FR Tip and Tap (two boys)
