Kizzak Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 don't see the hyperbole of this being the best over take it to the next level is still the #1 nike ad by far and I'd probably put the scorpion tournament #2 music doesn't really fit the ad and it seems that it's just missing something that even ads I'd say weren't quite as good had Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaga_4_parma Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Really should of got someone else instead of Ronaldinho Yeah...I wonder when this was made...because it been pretty well-known he wasn't going to be picked but I guess Nike have given Ronaldinho a ton of money and so they might as well get their fill...

jmr Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Ronaldhino's a massive Nike name, even had his own range of football boots so they were always going to use him whether he made the squad or not. Love his part in the video too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Hector Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 It's nicely done but it's just the same one trick pony stuff from Nike. So similar to the Next Level stuff/Joga Bonito Portugal v Brazil/Airport/NO! IT'S ROUNDER. It's all the gloss like Homer Simpson and Federer that make it. The Ronaldo statue looks more like Ballack. The Cannavaro section is literally amazing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMLF Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 The Brazilian part is ridiculous, it's the old ridiculous "samba boys" stereotype that has little to do with reality, and Ronaldinho isn't even part of the team. They should have used Robinho there instead of him. Rooney's part was by far the best one IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldinho brings the 'samba boy's stereotype tbf, the fact he's not in this years tournament is a massive change but that stereotype will begin to fade. Plus the samba is always associated with Brazil so there's little anyone can do to get out of that mind-frame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinho would probably be the next one, I cant imagine them telling him to act like Ronaldinho. He'd do some tricks and flicks but thats who he is anyway, or at least was.
