Nike Soccer Commericals - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Does anyone remember the commericals from the last World Cup? The ones where they are playing the cage matches? I thought they were brilliant. My question is this: who is the man who is dropping the balls into the cage, marking down the goals, etc. I just saw him again in the new Nike commericial (Brazil vs. Portugal brawl). Does anyone know who he is? Thanks

Zenedine Zidane ?

MahlerIsGod · 05-04-2004, 08:36 PM

No, its not Zidane. Try this link:

Its the Secret Tournament video. He is the guy in the picture.

P.S. I hope it wasn't just me but when I heard that Zidane was voted the best European Player from the past fifty years I nearly fell out of my chair. Christ, why didn't they just vote for Beck's? I guess these people have never heard of Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten, Franz Beckenbauer, etc. Don't get me wrong Zidane is a great player (one of the best field generals playing today) but the greatest? No.

Where abouts did you see the mystery man in the Brazil/Portugal brawl ad ?

I've seen it a couple of times now and can't pick him out.

PS: cheers for the link to a cool site

EDIT:

CANTONA, ITS FUCKING CANTONA!!!!

vs

He now plays international beach soccer..

^^ but here he is showing off his flying kick

Yep, that's Cantona alright. (grrrrrrrrrr!)

He's on the left in the Nike ads. But is the guy standing with him anyone we know? It's too quick a shot to see him properly.

Best part of that ad is when the ref slide tackles 'Goofy Brazilian Guy'. I'm sure it's a camera trick, but it sure looks as though he takes him out good-style.

I have not been disappointed with any of the nike soccer ads. Its been quite a while since they brought one out. Does anyone have any odeas about a good new theme? Who would be in it? etc

Yep, it was Cantona.
