The top 5 commercials in FIFA history

World Cup 2010 Special

Nike Write the Future (2010)
Days after being released, this epic 3-minute masterpiece set a viral record for most views of a viral video ad in a single week. The commercial was directed by famed Mexican filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu and stars renowned footballers Didier Drogba, Wayne Rooney, and Cristiano Ronaldo. If you believe Iñárritu, the film has a profound message behind it: that the legacy of a player, a team, or a country can hinge on a single second of performance.

    The money spent for these conferences. could be put to better use in the fight against terrorism or world poverty. The G20 is a sham, another photo- op & excuse for these politicians to pretend they are working for mankind, while enjoying expensive meals, fancy hotels and numerous costly perks at taxpayers expense. And causing disruption & inconvenience to residents of the city. Bah Humbug.

    another excuse to party, expensive meal fancy hotels & numerous perk

    It's very sad that you limit yourself to mainstream western advertisers when there is a world full of riches out there. France Telecom's Border scene being a great example of one
