ESPN’s World Cup 2010 Promo. Are You Excited Yet?

April 17th, 2010 | by: Daryl |

American broadcaster ESPN has been showing the above promo for World Cup 2010 across its network. When you start seeing commercials like this, you know the World Cup is getting closer. I’m not embarrassed to say that I’m starting to get excited. There’s a second, Martin Tyler-centric, promo after the jump.

If you’re in the US and will be watching the World Cup on ESPN, then take a look at ESPN’s World Cup 2010 TV schedule.

“‘Italy will defend’….. while 31 nations will attack”

They never fail

Let’s just be glad Martin Tyler didn’t say :

“italy will defend… while England will attack”

I’m pretty sure the “Italy will defend” line is a reference to them defending their trophy, and not Martin Tyler indulging in lazy tactical stereotypes.

There is this commercial with a monotonous noise like a deep foghorn or an elephant. It’s the sound of the “vuvu”. The World Cup is really getting closer.
