Leave it to Nike to create some of the most epic commercials known to man. Here’s their latest commercial: “Write the Future”.
The number of stars they got to shoot this commercial makes it that much amazing…
0:0: Ivory Coast’s Didier Drobga vs Italy’s Fabio Cannavaro
0:48: England’s Wayne Rooney (and Theo Walcott) vs France’s Franck Ribery (and Patrice Evra)
1:10 – Cameos by the United States’ Landon Donovan and Tim Howard. Funny cause the US is playing England in the first game of the World Cup, and Donovan and Howard have both competed against Rooney in the Premier League this past season.
1:35 – Spain’s Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta, and Cesc Fabregas
1:42 – Rooney playing ping pong against Roger Federer
1:47 – Brazil’s Adriano and a showboating Ronaldinho, who didn’t make the Brazilian roster. Did I miss Kaka?
2:05 – A dancing Kobe Bryant
2:13 – Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo
*edit* I was confused why Kaka and Lionel Messi weren’t shown…and then realized they were probably signed by Adidas…which they are.
Here’s Nike’s last great soccer commercial.
