    Hilarious advert me thinks. Although i don't know why it's Kaka who comes up against the Meerkat, surely it should've been Arshavin?

    Just saw it at Half Time during the Chelsea v Bolton game and it prompted me to watch the long version on You Tube. I love it.

    Haha, that was really good. And to think, that should've been Richard Dunne instead of Thierry Henry :P

    And Henry didn't even use his hand.

    I reckon they were just trying to cover as many of the World Cup teams and territories as possible!

    Possible they made it before qualification was finished, the ad isn't new

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Oh yes!

    I can remember everyone in the school yard doing the "Au Revoir" bit and flicking the collar up!

    I loved this one!

    Seriuosly cant be that hard to make an ad with a football :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,048 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Can anyone remember the ads from maybe ten years ago that I think were to promote the anti-racism campaign in football? It was some African guy meeting lots of the top stars at the time. Fairly certain Zidane was in one of the ads.

    All I really remember is that they mention the guys first name only and in one of the ads he does that volley off the side of your foot thing.

    Really annoying me because if I remembered his name I could probably find them on youtube in seconds.

    fukin no way Lampard would be caught with a Pepsi Max

    its full fat for him or no deal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    The Cage ad is great.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,949 ✭✭✭SuprSi


    Wow, the music, the shirts, that's just a rubbish ad. I see what they're trying to do but Pepsi haven't ever done a football ad that even approaches being good. They need to have a word with the guys who make the Nike ads as they've always managed to produce. Love the devil one but I friggin love this one;

    I was thinking about the BBC3 documentary on body models the other day; I forgot that he was in it. Excellent ball control skills don't always imply excellent footballer. There was a guy years ago who became world ball juggling champ after he failed to make it as a pro.
    On that note, anyone remember the Pepsi ad from the 70s with the Brazilian kid? What happened to him?

    Thats actually my favourite ad of them all.

    The amount of hours me and the football team wasted after traning trying to catch the balll between our knees and flick the ball up and knock a cone of other lads heads.

    Actually a few videos going around of one lad doing it and our centre half breaking our goalies nose trying it, its quality must dig it up.

    Those ads are all worthy contenders, but nothing will ever beat Sky's football ad featuring Sean Bean. I know its not promoting Nike, Pepsi, Adidas or anything like that, but still the best football related ad Ive ever seen.

    Any one remember that ad from seventies when brazilian kid did all those juggling skills. Think it was for coke

    I thing doing an ad is fairly sad. Alan Shearer advertising McDonalds was the worst

    Yeah was a good one. Maldini is the man and Ronaldo is uglier than the demons, I'd say he scared them.
