Die Mannschaft channel Sin City and a bit of Watchmen…

A little less standing around and this could’ve bested classic Nike adverts such as “No! It’s rounder,” and “Au Revoir”. Or at least that’s what The Spoiler called them in primary school.

UPDATE: Having actually watched both Nike adverts again, The Spoiler can confirm they will never be bested, ever.

Midfielders star in comic book-style video viral

Zinedine Zidane has made no secret of his admiration for Steven Gerrard (”Is he the best in the world? He might not get the attention of Messi and Ronaldo but yes, I think he might be”), so it is fitting that an animated likeness of the Frenchman goes off in search of the Liverpool captain in a new advertising campaign for a stripey German sportswear company.

We really like this clip but have noticed one obvious error - shouldn’t the backpack on young Stevie G’s back have an Everton crest on it?

The Post-Ancelotti Rossoneri target short, overweight talent

This could be Leonardo’s first signing as Milan manager, or it might be part of Adidas’ Twelfth Man campaign. We’ll try to clear things up shortly.

Spaniard plays a spot of football golf Pepe Reina

A certain German sportswear manufacturer is promoting its new kit designs with a series of viral videos from various Premier League training grounds: last week we saw Michael Ballack wearing Chelsea’s new Robocop-themed home shirt, and now we see Xabi Alonso sporting Liverpool’s new away strip.

We’re not too keen on the Chelsea kit, but do like the Liverpool one - particularly how the shoulder stripes go right up to the neckline. It’s a definite improvement on the prototype we showed you in March.

German midfielder forced to ride a bicycle or something

In light of his fervent popularity among Chelsea fans, Michael Ballack has been selected to star in Adidas’ latest viral ad.

Keep your eyes peeled around the ten second mark to see the referees’ favourite sporting Chelsea’s brand new Robocop-style home kit.

Adidas pays footballer and b’baller to dick around

Remember 2008? Nobody cared about Lady Gaga and her indifferent attitude to trousers, Twitter wasn’t lowering office productivity on a global scale and David Beckham was still welcome in the United States of America.

Before he tried to escape from the land of hope and glory, Mr B filmed an Adidas advert that featured Missy Elliot, The Ting Tings, Katy Perry and loads of other terribly important people at a ‘house party’.

The German sports clothing manufacturer have since released a clip of the Milan loaner mucking around in the driveway with Boston Celtics behemoth Kevin Garnett. Instead of testing each other at their respective sports, Beckham and Garnett devise a Baseketball-style hyrbid of football and basketball. If the editing is to be believed, Beckham comes away looking like the coolest man on earth, while Garnett’s skills do not match up to his ability to shout slogans.

Yes, it’s an advert. But it’s a cool one

Here’s what happens when David Beckham and his celeb mates have a party to celebrate their mutual love of German shoes.

Well, it was unfortunate for the other guy

While filming an Adidas advert, Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack was aiming to put a ball through a hoop, but instead hit what Bild describe as another gentleman’s “fun centre.”

It’s possible that this is a deliberate mistake for the sake of making a hilarious viral, but then Adidas would have had to recruit for a “stupid man willing to risk future fatherhood by getting pelted in the knackers by world class footballer.” We doubt there would be too many takers.
