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?
As a result of the current economic situation, it appears Turkish energy bar manufacturer Metro have had to close their special effects department.
Either that, or the Turks are happy to believe that Besiktas’ Yusuf Şimşek can bend a post with his relatively weak shots, despite being presented with absolutely no evidence of the moment of impact. It’s about as believable as a Stephen Ireland sicknote.
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.
After years of trying to sell us compact cars, Thierry Henry has blown one up in his latest advert.
The chaps at Reebok decided the best way to market their Valde boot is to show some potentially lethal consequences of their use. It’s a fairly decent concept, but we can’t help thinking the money would have been much better spent in making the boot a bit less ugly.
Obviously bored with Liverpool’s dull-as-dishwater style of play, Fernando Torres has turned to other avenues for (well paid) kicks. A few weeks ago, we saw him star in an advert for a Spanish salon, and now we see him promoting some kind of dog school.
Hang on a second - would one of Europe’s top strikers be a part of something with such shoddy production values? Would he really let a small provincial hairdresser mess with his wonderfully feathered locks? This all stinks of a Nike viral video campaign (look at all the clothes they’re wearing in the clip above), and we’ve fallen for it. Curses!
Spoiler bonus: We recognise that Stevie G-loving German Shepherd from somewhere. Could he be Hank, the stunt mutt who did Nando like a kipper?
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.
Nicklas Bendtner and Franck Ribery are among those who have volunteered to wear Nike’s ridiculous Mercurial Rosa boot, but now it seems players are being paid loads of money by other comapnies to wear pink forced to wear embarrasing footwear on the pitch.
According to a “ransom video” adressed at Big Phil Scolari, Nicolas Anelka has been kidnapped by a hot French lady who is demanding that the Chelsea striker wear Puma’s new pink effort.
If Scolari refuses to negotiate with the aesthetically-pleasing terrorist, the Brazilian will have to rely on a striker who would rather be anywhere but West London…
