“Is she side-ways Chad, Romania, Moldovia or Andora? Or did they get Columbia/Ecuador/Venezuela’s colors out of order? Either way, I’m curious/confused.”

It’s Romania. Her name is Lys Parvu.

By the way, I think that history would have been different if Akon were there to co-write Julius Caesar’s biography. I don’t think too many people would have been as inspired if “Veni, Vidi, Vici” (I came, I saw, I conquered) had been written as “Veni, Vidi, Tendi” (I came, I saw, I tried)…

Watching this again, how did they decide what flags to use? I see the US, Greece, Nigeria, Italy, and one that looks like Spain. All of them made it to the World Cup. But then they also have Tanzania, Egypt, China, Poland and Tukey twice (Girl on the left dancing with the US and Tanzania and later on a guy dancing with Poland, Greece and Egypt). There isn’t one face for South Africa but there are two for Turkey?

I’m not even sure what country the fourth is that’s dancing with US, Tanzania and Turkey #1. Is she side-ways Chad, Romania, Moldovia or Andora? Or did they get Columbia/Ecuador/Venezuela’s colors out of order? Either way, I’m curious/confused.

And not to be picky, but the UK doesn’t play as one country (Scotland and Wales play unfer their own flag). Unless they’re adding the Union Jack because it’s part of the Australian/New Zealand national flags…

I’m thinking about this too much, aren’t I?

The music’s catchy, but the lyrics are seriously lacking. I guess Ricky Martin’s designer shoes were just too big to fill…

I like that the song uses African beats and sounds and the video uses lots of colors. The song itself is upbeat but I still think “The Cup Of Life” was one of the better ones.
