The Best World Cup Advert: Nike’s 5 minute Animated Ad
Words: Gentleman's Journal
Trust Nike to do it big. Released yesterday, the sport’s brand’s 5-minute World Cup animated advert has already racked up almost 4 million views – and that number is increasing rapidly.
Entitled ‘The Last Game’, the extended advert features animated versions of some of the best players in the world, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Júnior, Zlatan Ibrahimovi?, Ronaldo Fenomeno, Franck Ribéry, Andrés Iniesta, David Luiz and, England’s very own, Wayne Rooney.
The advert sees a world where footballing clones are created in order to prove the effectiveness of a game without any risk. The “original” football players are pushed out and a boring and uninspiring version of the game takes dominance. Not satisfied with this, the “Originals” decide to risk it all and attempt to beat the clones in the Last Game.
If this viral video doesn’t get you hyped up for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, due to commence this Thursday, then we don’t know what will. Check out the awesome advert above.
