With the world cup coming up I dug this old link people might like:
PAPERCRAFT | Ovni Studios
They're described as dodgeball players, but look enough like footballers to me.
An added bonus is six of the twelve asian zodiac animals are included, if you swap the zebra and alligator for the horse and dragon. There are enough cartoony Japanese papercraft animals out there that can provide heads for the other six.
More adventurous builders could even modify the jerseys for different national teams!
