Leave it to the folks at Nike to put together a perfect commercial to get fans ready for the World Cup (complete with a cameo from Tim Howard and Landon Donovan).
Enjoy:
Even more excited for the World Cup? It's just three weeks away.

I’m blind. Just noticed that’s Federer at 1:40.
I wish this commercial would have a permanent space on the SBI frontpage. The youtube direct link already has several hand-egg supporters criticizing real football. It just takes away from the hilarious greatness of the moment.
Sorry Aaron. This one’s fun, but Take it to the Next Level is of much higher quality both in concept, production, and execution.
Kobe loves soccer, don’t hate.
Nike knows how to get things done. I love all the cameos.
Nike should manage Brazil they know what Ronaldinho brings.
I think this commercial was done by the same director from Y tu Mama tabien.
Nike’s not voicing any opinion about dinho’s soccer ability, but about ability to sell shoes. Ronaldinho’s still the most recognized and marketable Brazillian player by a large margin.
Because Nike is an international company. The country we live in isn’t the center of the world…
Still wrong. This one’s still better:

Kind of funny in this one that they couldn’t show real jerseys with Italy or France and featured Ronaldinho.
It was good until they showed Kobe…. At least he was mimicking the greater sport.
Haha, poor ‘dinho. Did anyone tell Nike that the US is playing in the world cup too? Why not a segment where Dempsey elastico’s someone out of their shorts and rips a shot to the upper 90?
That was incredible. Nike has to be disappointed that Ronaldinho’s 2010 WC experience will only consist of shooting this commercial. Now I wonder if Cristiano is going to choke again. Question is where’s Messi? Argentina’s kit is made by another brand and that must explain it.
Why sick? It looks pretty good to me.
1:18, love it haha
He through the backdoor. What a freeloader!!!!
KOBE!!
ahhh. I would’ve loved to see Ronaldinho do that to someone at the WC. That was the best meg I’ve seen.
Right. Sickest commercial ever.
Dunga You bastard, you messed up my world cup .
Hellz yeah, I thought I was pumped already-that puts me over the top. The Rooney bit was classic
WTF? Yes, that’s right — Write The Future.
what wouldve been great was, as a quick fix, Nike graffed Robinho’s head on to Ronaldinho’s body. he can play on the wing and has fancy feet too!
Yea you’re probably right, but he WAS left out of the Confederations Cup, so they COULD have seen it coming. But I guess that’s a lot to ask of Nike. They probably just said screw it and didn’t cut him out because of the time they spent. Would be nice though!
im sure the production of this commercial was started way before Brazil’s 30 was ever selected. things like this take tons of hours and man-power to make.
oh man oh man that was the business.
Can’t believe they didn’t have back up for Ronni not making it. Sweet commercial though.
Just got to thinking: Is this Nike’s way of voicing their opinion on whether or not Dinho should’ve been in the 23? If so, is it just because they sponsor him, or because they feel that Dunga has done a disservice to football fans all over the world?
I’d like to find out if there’s more to Ronaldinho being in this commercial than just Nike being foolish….
::wink::
Agreed. Take it to the Next Level was epic
I love the Cannavaro musical hahahahaha! And Pique and Cesc getting pissed at the newspaper, and of course our boys smirking at Rooney’s fail
Wrong. This is the sickest Nike football commercial ever. Can’t be outdone

nice cameo by landon and timmy. they probably shot that while they were both at everton.
rooney’s parts where the best hands down.
WTF?
Ronal…D’OH!
Ronaldinho. LOL.
That was pretty darn funny right there. Great commercial, except for the whole part where Ronaldinho has not played a significant role for Brazil in some time.
So freaking sweet! Super jacked for the World Cup. Come on you Yanks!
Shame the ball won’t be a Nike. As for Ronaldinho, he probably won’t be wearing the 10 shirt, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a late injury will result in a call up. Don’t see why Dunga would have put him on the 30 man roster otherwise, even if he claims the 23 is set.
Very very cool!
Best cameo: LA’s 2nd Cobi
Love the smirks from Donovan and Howard.
Why didn’t they give more time to Donovan?
Rooney as a piker is pretty funny.
Awsome
lol at Ronaldinho being in the commercial. I wanna see a lady cakes write the future promo.
Ha! Ronaldinho!
Not bad. Take it to the Next Level still blows this commercial away, in my opinion.
What’s Ronaldinho doing in there?
apparently nike didn’t get the memo that ronaldinho didn’t make the cut. cool commercial otherwise.
that is the sickest thing i’ve ever seen
Rooney has some suave I didnt know about. He looked pretty cool owning Federer there. That being said, I loved the Donovan/Howard smerk.
