Earlier this week, we told you that FIFA were about to announce the winning design in their 2010 World Cup poster competition. Prior to the announcement being made, we thought we'd show you the shortlist of three that the South African public had to choose from back in September and invited you to do the same in our very own little poll.
Well that poll resulted in us receiving 33 votes from you over the last four to five days (thank you!) and 27 of you overwhelmingly chose Poster B (an outline of the African continent which doubled up as the head of a man heading a football on a yellow background).
And guess what - somewhat earlier than we thought, Sepp Blatter yesterday made his annoucement and told the world that the winning design was indeed Poster B. Well done to the majority of you that voted for it! SPAOTP are proud of you...
The winning poster was designed by South African creative agency Switch and it's now known that the head featured on it is that of Cameroon star Samuel Eto'o.
So that's settled then - Some People Are On The Pitch has effectively chosen the official poster of the 2010 World Cup. Next week, we'll be running a poll to decide who the next England manager should be. It's only right it should be done this way, after all...

The best one won really, surprised that Fifa didn't go for A on the list as it fitted the sort of style they go for.
Do you know what the mascots for South Africa might look like? Hope there like France 1998.
SPAOTP readers would do a better job picking a new England man the the FA, so I say go for it!
Hah, I like the crazy brain-melting mascots from Korea/Japan.
Striker was pretty good too (USA).
Whatever it is, I hope it's not a Lion, since that's been used twice already. An elephant might be a good mascot, as an homage to Paul Robinson.
Hi P... Haven't seen the mascots yet for WC2010 as I don't think they've been decided on yet. As soon as we have news of it here, we'll let you know a.s.a.p...
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Daryl! Where would we be without people like your goodself... :)
Yes Adam, the 2002 mascots were... how shall I put it... narcotically induced, wouldn't you say?!?!
I liked Striker for all his American cartoonery, but my favourite has to be Naranjito, the Orange wearing a Spanish football kit. It really doesn't get any better than that in my book...
