Nike World Cup Ad: Write the Future
I love the World Cup. Although I’m a big baseball and football fan, nothing quite compares to the penultimate event in international soccer. Every four years, the World Cup takes center stage. Wars pause and rivals join together to support their homeland. To wax poetic, the World Cup exhibits the beauty of humanity.
And as if I needed any extra help in getting pumped for the June 11th start, Nike rolled out their new World Cup advertisement yesterday during the UEFA Champions League Final between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan (Inter won 2-0). I don’t typically fawn over ads, but they’ve pulled out all the stops for this 3-minute masterpiece that features: Ivory Coast‘s Didier Drogba, Italy‘s Fabio Cannivaro, England‘s Wayne Rooney, U.S.‘s Landon Donovan, Brazil‘s Ronaldinho (sorry dude…I’m shocked Dunga didn’t include him on the 23-man roster), and every lady’s favorite…Portugal‘s Cristiano Ronaldo.
Check out the ad right here and let me know what you think:

Dude, even Kobe is getting into the act! I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of work missed from 6/11 to 7/11… and I really hate to be a homer, but GO USA!!!
