MattM4 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Well it that time of the year again ... well every two years, anyway.. check out http://nikefootball.nike.com/nikefootball/ they have the latest ad on it and the next one is due to be released on FEB 20th (thats today) The message this time round is "Joga Bonito" ... play beautiful. Seems to have taken on the message of trying to get cheats out of the game. Although they seem to get their concepts mixed between essentially what cheating and what is a foul ... + they also have C Ronaldo as a brand name This is a good ish message to put out, as well as puting together cool ads featuring Cantona as usual. We'll see if it's just a gimmick though and has absolutely no effect on the game whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayor Steve 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Do you really think Nike's objective is to have a positive effect on the game? I think they are just trying to sell more shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much money Nike made on those Stand Up Peak Up anti racism bands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 It's ironic really, they could have used footage of Cantona alone for the examples of cheating and unfair play. Perhaps Nike are taking the piss or being post-ironic or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather have a Cantona in the Premierleague than poncy boys like Robben and Cronaldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thompson 0 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Cantona was the most petulant, cheating bassa ever. Was an average player, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I used to think Cantona was the most overrated player of all time, till Cristiano came along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Was it Marseilles where he launched himself through the air two footed into a poor sods chest? That was great Nowt wrong with a strong challenge. It's the puffs that stay down off them need to look at their life and sort out their priorities.

I mean if we are talking semantics then maybe kicking a fan isnt technically cheating but it hardly makes him a spokesperson for fair play in football does it?
