The Commerical Behind the Commercial

It´s funny given that kaka is probably the only brazilian player that has not been “living” on the street in his youth.

[...] Bob just posted a clip from making of my favorite Adidas commercial. I even liked that one! Especially I like the part with all the stars talking about when they were kids. [...]

heh not bad. i always like football ads.

[...] World Cup Blog brings the commercial behind the commercial. Check it out! Tags: FIFA World Cup 2006, Football Commercials. [...]

Here’s an oldie but goodie, from the rivals…

Does anyone know which song they use in this commercial?

what was the name of the first guy they picked? Does he play for france? What was the name of the other players who were picked?

The music is by “1976″ by RJD2.

can someone post a list of all the players picked?

José’s team:
Michael Ballack Germany, FC Bayern Munich
Franz Beckenbauer Germany
David Beckham England, Real Madrid CF
Du-Ri Cha Korea Republic, Eintracht Frankfurt
Damian Duff Ireland, Chelsea FC
Steven Gerrard England, Liverpool FC
Kaká Brazil, AC Milan
Oliver Kahn Germany, FC Bayern Munich
Juan Román Riquelme Argentina, Villarreal CF
Bastian Schweinsteiger Germany, FC Bayern Munich
Patrick Vieira France, Juventus Turin

Pedro’s team:
Djibril Cissé France, Liverpool FC
Jermain Defoe England, Tottenham Hotspur
Kevin Kuranyi Germany, FC Schalke
Frank Lampard England, Chelsea FC
Michel Platini France
Shunsuke Nakamura Japan, Celtic Glasgow
Alessandro Nesta Italy, AC Milan
Lukas Podolski Germany, FC Köln
Raúl Spain, Real Madrid CF
Arjen Robben The Netherlands, Chelsea FC
David Trézéguet France, Juventus
Zinédine Zidane France, Real Madrid CF

Why does the one kid laugh when the other picks a player and who is that other player? He looks like an older player just spliced in. #5 I believe was his number.

Val — the kid laughs because Jose (the skinny kid) has picked Franz “The Kaiser” Beckenbauer, who was a famous player for West Germany in the late-60’s and 70’s.

His image is digitally inserted, as is that of Michel Plantini (the one picked by the bigger kid after Zidane whispers to him). Plantini was a star for France in the 80’s.

Does anyone know which retro jersey Jose is wearing during the commercial?

That commercial is hot but José should hate his mom hehe !

I may be wrong, but I think Jose is wearing an old West German shirt. It might help explain his penchant for selecting German players!

why did jose pick all those players when there is so many other players he could have picked instead like raul from spain or chistian ronaldo? seeing how raul is probably the best foward in soccer after henry.

sure, it’s jose’s dream team… but the whole football world isn’t all under contract with Adidas. I think Pele would have been a good pick…

Thanks Ian, I appreciate you clearing that up for me!!

Great. As if I hadn’t watched these ads enough, now I have to go through frame by frame to catch a glimpse of Trezeguet.

Thanks for the team lists!

jace, it’s the German 1994 world cup jersey…

The boys are speaking spanish in the making of the video clip. The actual commercial has the narrator speaking Portuguese? Where is the setting of the actual commercial and what language is being spoken?

“The music is by “1976″ by RJD2.”

Uhh… no.

I am looking to buy the 1994 retro Germany World Cup Jersey. Any one know where I can buy it from?

Italy sucks ass they cheated so badly its not even funny. iraq should bomb the shit out of their team.
