Just a reminder of how things can go wrong. Badly wrong. The only one not featured is Leo Messi and Argentina which means they get to write the future. By the way what happened – did Nike not approach him?
Anyways, El Diego must be glad his talisman is not in it. Spain in a cameo of frustrated blokes and Brazil represented by a player not even on the team – remain in the last eight. The rest of them are out.
Update: As E., helpfully points out Messi and Argentina are outfitted by Adidas. So are Germany and Spain.

Wait, where was Germany?
Not there, it does not have “superstars” like Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
Messi is sponsored by Adidas so there was never any chance he’d be in the those videos. If you notice all the “stars” in the videos are Nike’s biggest sponsored players, most of which didn’t make it past the group stages. Nike still has a long way to go in the Footballing world.
Thanks, E. Should have realized from those “Impossible is nothing” ads. Adidas really stands to gain big time over Nike from all this and is already doing so this World Cup – outfitting more teams.
There are 3 Spanish players in this commercial: Cesc Fabregas, Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta, all of whom are sponsored by Nike (even if Spain is outfitted by adidas). Obviously, they are in the quarters.
