Nike Football - Write the Future full-length version (prolly the best Nike commercial ever done):

(my fave parts -- Rooney and Christiano Ronaldo :mrgreen:)

That IS a great commercial.

And it gets better with each re-watch, because you can home in on the little details you may have missed. (Kobe doing the samba... R-Fed's face when Rooney trounces him at table tennis... Homer Simpson going "Ronal... DOH!" << pretty priceless. :victory:)

Absolutely. You are so right. It has so many great moments and little nuances. It has enormous replay value.

Homer Simpson going "Ronal... DOH!" << pretty priceless. :victory:

That was hilarious.

World Cup started, with the vuvuzela nightmare. :banghead:

Dear vuvuzela enthusiasts,

please,

shut the frack up your instrument or go home and play there. :cursing:


I believe after the tournament I wil lose my mind and hearing ability. Even now I hear vuvuzela noise despite the tv being on mute. :nut:


...and yes, "Write the Future" does rule. :bow:

There is a rule that states if you are attending any game in the World Cup you must blow the vuvuzela for the entire match. This also applies when going to the restroom to take a piss: you must blow the vuvuzela all the way to the restroom, while taking a pee, as well as walking back to your seat. Otherwise, you will be booted from the game.

All hail to vuvuzela. Vuvuzela is the true meaning of life. Even Chuck Norris can't fight back against vuvuzela. They say when somebody blows a vuvuzela you can hear screams of the gods.

Vuvuzela is the one and only.

(ok I've officially lost my mind after two 90 minutes of vuvuzela attack)

I saw Vice President Joe Biden sitting in the stands at one of the matches...I wonder why he was wearing ear plugs.

BTW, Chuck Norris couldn't fight back against a wet twinkie.

Hell yeah. I have that favorited on Youtube.

Snoop: "Oh you want some? Step up!"

...

Beckam: "It wasn't me."

Those two lines crack me up.

I thought it was a shame South Africa couldn't pull off the win. They lost the ball so many times coming out from the backfield. They just might become the first host nation to not make out of the first round. :sweat:

Argentina starts tomorrow, hopefully we'll be able to score. :fingerscrossed:

Hopefully Maradona will leave the blow and the booze in the hotel room.

I was hoping he'd be the one to leave. :hehe: The biggest problem for Argentina in this World Cup is Maradona, he's a terrible coach. :sweat:

Hehe. I was merely joking about Diego, he is forever legend. I can still remember his unparalleled play in the 1986 World Cup. One of the greatest players of all time. Truly.

Nonetheless I do appreciate your concern about his stewardship of the Argentine side. I know there's been quite a row over his role as coach. Let's see what happens tomorrow against Nigeria. It should be a good match. I hope they play well. :applaud:

Daft Punk, Snoop, the Gallangher brothers, Beckham! Heaven! Thanks for sharing!
@Tu-triky thanx for the football in your face pix - my sis and I laughed so much!

He definitely is (as we've seen in south america group matches) but I don't think there is anybody in the world who has power over argentinian payers like him. He is more than a legend in there, so maybe just saying "Ok boys, go and win this game." can be enough for them. :mrgreen:
