GET IN ON THE POSTER DERBY

The World Cup’s all the rage right now. Don’t believe us? The CBC has breathlessly announced that Saturday’s England-USA game was the most-watched World Cup group-stage game ever in Canada.

So we’ll feed that frenzy. Head to theprovince.com/2010worldcupto get everything you need: the scores, the analysis, the photo galleries and the looks ahead. While there, take a few moments to vote for the soccer players you’d like to see in our World Cup poster series, which kicks off on June 29.

You have to figure that Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Didier Drogba might make the cut. But what about Landon Donovan? What about one of the South African hosts, Steven Pienaar? Well, you can help influence the decision. The top 11 vote-getters get their own poster.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday the World Cup of Women moves into the round of 16. Thousands voted in the group stage; tomorrow we’ll reveal who advanced and who will do battle in the first knockout round.
