Surprised at the comments. I loved it. I like the reference to it being just a game in the mind of great players – that joy of playing is part of what makes them great.
Love, love, love, love Nike ads from past World Cups. This doesn’t quite measure up, but thanks for posting it anyway. Looking forward to seeing what ads they will be releasing as the World Cup gets closer.
dare to be brasilian, no thanks

A far cry from the old airport commercial in terms of both creative content and the player talent.
I’m sure Nike’s moving a lot of product in Argentina with this.
The other team was not Argentina. It was some generic team….maybe loosely like Argentina.
The colors were like Uruguay’s.
Ives, do you get a cut of money from posting advertisements like they’re news?
Ehhh…not nearly as good as Write the Future or the two previous Brazil ones, the game against Portugal all over the stadium or the one in the airport.
Although Thiago Silva is too cool for school in his bit. Nice.
Not a single waxing joke!
I mostly liked it, but the midgets vs gigantic Argentines thing was a bit weird.
The Luis becoming a cartoon giant part was pretty bitchin’
Looking forward to the Dare To Be Qatarian ad in eight years.
By then all the Qatari players will be naturalized Brazilians anyway.
the old jogo bonito brazilian commercials were better, for example the airplane and the one against Portugal
I liked it until the munchkin/animated David Luis.
Thought that was the best/weirdest part.
Genius
Kinda weird. I hope the focus group polling says otherwise.
So at 33 seconds in, I thought it was Ronnie from the Jersey Shore but looks like its really fat Ronaldo…not Nike’s best commercial
without watching the video (blocked at work), i’m going to assume this is aimed at diego costa, just a little too late.
Personally I like the NYCFC video with the Manchester City players in New York better.
