Hey guys with the leagues finished for another season and the world cup around the corner the good people at Nike have seen fit to whet our appetites with this commercial. Give it a viewing and post your thoughts on it below. My fav bits are Rooney and Ronaldos
All thats missing is Messi. To be honest they could have included the whole of the Barca team. Except Ibrahimovic
Nike - Write The Future [HD]
Personally, whilst well produced, I thought the narrative was really poorly balanced and generally a load of pretentious crap that is not a patch on some of the classic ads (the Nike cage, the devil's team, the little Coca Cola munchkin, etc.) of old times. And was that supposed to be an England v France final? (why else the Rooney-Ribery hero/zero thing? Aside from to scare small children
). Laughable.
The Ronaldinho sequence, aside from the embarrassment of him not even being picked for Brazil (he'll enjoy watching that ad on tv from his sofa at home no doubt), the self-referential YT and FB stuff was a bit cringeworthy.
The only positives were a couple of vaguely comic moments sending up Ronaldo's ego (ironically I think it probably stroked his ego beyond planet-sized proportions) and of course Rooney's future as a ginger-bearded pikey in a caravan (such a fitting scenario for the knuckle-dragger).
And seriously, Drogba yet no Messi? I guess the PC brigade at Nike were out in force. African World Cup, need African star player.
There, sorry to dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
