I have major issues with procrastination. Homework and housework are always put off until the last possible minute, while I bide my time doing more important things...like surfing youtube. I've seriously got a disease. I look at one video and I can't stop myself. It's like chocolate. So as a tribute to my problem, I decided to grace you all with my top 10 favorite soccer commercials. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
10. Kung fu Soccer - 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup
The top 10 list was supposed to be a list of just men's soccer videos, but I couldn't resist.
9. It's a whole new ballgame - Gatorade
I've always liked this one because of the cool footage that goes along with it. Whenever you typically see soccer advertisements they're full of fast pace moves. This one takes a step away from that and it really works.
8. Airport scene - Nike
Typical soccer ad, but it's amazing just the same.
7. Never Grow Up - Joga TV
For some weird reason I like the creepy old narrator. I don't know if it's his accent or the message that he's sending, but I enjoy it. There's actually a series of Joga TV videos with him as the narrator and they're pretty good to.
6. Beckham's Bad Day - Pepsi
There are a couple of ads with this kid knocking Beckham, but this is my favorite. You think the kid is going to give Beckham this huge compliment, and instead he plays dirty.
5. Henry's House - Nike
Henry is one of those quiet, humble guys that you don't see in a ton of commercials, which is why I like this one so much. He's one of my favorite players. I just go into a daze watching this.
4. Touch of Gold - Nike
I've put this ad up on my blog before, but it's in my top 10 none-the-less. He's amazing, period.
3. Take it to the Next Level - Nike
The way this ad is shot is my favorite part. It puts you in this person's spot and makes you live their life. You smile with "you" do something good and frown when "you" do something bad. Nice work Nike. I clearly like you the best.
2. One Game Changes Everything - 2006 FIFA World Cup
A really good feel good promo for the games and soccer in general. It truly is the world's sport.
1. Jose +10 - Adidas
My favorite soccer commercial of all time. Hands down.
Which one's your favorite?

"Take It To The Next Level" is by far the best. The commercial puts you in the first person. Simply geniuos. The full length you had is by far better than the edited down version on TV. Also, the airport one is still one of my favorites. Classic Nike football commercials.
Although I like the "Touch of Gold," I just can't get passed the fact that it's fake. As talented as Ronaldinho is, it would take way too long try and do something like that. Most of it is computer generated. Very good work though. It almost does look real.
It looks real because it is real.
Anyways, Take It To The Next Level is the best commercial because it's first person and the song is great. I actually linked to the YouTube video in my blog today, and I keep banging out the drum line every chance I get.
But all these commercials are great because these companies have so much money to drop on advertising.
