Another Nike video starring mostly Brazilian ball artists.
They're gonna take the ball, our women, the cup and leave us with nothing.
Unless we distract them a little bit. Maybe we send them shopping for German cars and they will be late for their game.
Or we talk to the French and find ...

The top ten goals of 2004 - most of them from the European Championship.
There is some pretty good action in this clip.
The best goal is saved for the end. Henrik Larsson from Sweden with a magical motion.

This must be a bit older since passing back to the goalie is not allowed any longer.
But watch what happens next.
UNBELIEVABLE
Note:
I am from a city named Darmstadt in Germany. We had a goalie named Huxhorn who did exactly the same thing some time in the 80's. ...

Here I am preparing for the World Cup. Today's schedule included a 5 mile run in Manhattan Beach. I am dressed to the occasion with my German national team jersey (even though it is the jinxed 98 loser-edition).

We know German appliances rock, but usually Germans aren't considered the funniest people on earth.

One of my mantras of the last 30 years is that soccer players are not very smart (I played myself for over 20 years - go figure ;-) )

LOL
I think this is the funniest soccer ad I've seen this year.

I have been running hot on the whole World Cup theme for months now.
I have been complaining about the FIFA being too restrictive (which appears to lead to some pre World Cup apathy in Germany).
I also mentioned that we would take on the challenge to reach ...

Eric Cantona went a long way from his Kung Fu kick days to become the soccer ambassador of Nike.
He seems to be at the right place.
In this commercial he introduces street soccer. This one went around the world and back already as it is part of the ...
