Soon, the world's attention will be focused on 32 soccer teams in South Africa vying for the championship. If you're into soccer, you know that fans can get quite obsessed competing over who has the most spirit. And now that summer is here and you have plenty of time to watch the games, you can show off your team pride (without having to actually get your face messy) with a set of new soccer-themed photo effects from Picnik.



With the new effects you can add digital face paint, soccer-themed stickers, and team flag overlays customized for each of the qualifying teams.

To get started, just go to picnik.com and choose a photo to edit – you can upload from your computer or import one of your photos from Picasa Web Albums, Facebook, or other photo sites. Then, pick your favorite team from the pulldown menu, select face paint or another soccer effect, and turn your photo into a fan masterpiece that will make you the envy of all your friends. Unfortunately, we can't promise you a victory...
