Everyone seen the new Nike advert by now?

Well I'm having a little disagreement about the cast in that ad with a not so knowledgeable friend and wondered if you lot could help me put my mind at ease by confirming my selection :)

I reckon its :-

Davids Thuran Totti Figo Bierhoff Cole

My friend reckons it's Sol Campbell instead of Cole.....am I going mad?

Unfortunately, on the strength of the website I am forced - as will your 'not so knowledgable' friend be - to bow to your greater knowledge.

God this hurts!!!

Yeah I noticed the yorkie the porn star in it...don't recall seeing him in the advert though? the clip on the site looks like it's slightly longer than the ad?

Gav,

I didn't get past Edgar Davids - I was fixated by him (his footwork that is!)

Byeeeeee!

Subtle sarcasm eh :))

If it's any consolation, I'd have Mr Davids any day...... :))

I'll tell you one thing - at the end, it's definitely Dion Dublin's chopper. Anyway, I think its Brett Angel, Jason Lee, Jamie Pollock and Trevor Challis. Anyway anyway, my question is this - are we to take it that all except the two who get to the chopper go up in the explosion, since we don't see them get out...? I have other nitpicking questions, but it's late.

"If its any consolation I'd have Mr. Davids anyday...."

Should this be on the Comin out on the BBS thread.

I never thought anyone would be brave enough!!!

Well done Gav.

Dan,

I also wondered how only two of them get out at the end.....not a very successful mission eh? I guess the moral is don't buy nike or you'll die :))

A mate at work told me the advert goes on for some 5 minutes - a great deal longer than tshown on TV. This means one of a number of scenes gets played out - our "hero" Andy Cole takes 3 min 56 secs to flick the ball up and lay it off, or they all get out and go home and have a cup of tea (and probably have a giggle at the unemployed van gaaaaaaaaaaaaaal.

What I've always wondered about this advert is.....it looks like the helicopter is actually below the window that they kick the ball/jump out of and therefore the ball would be destroyed by the blades and I'd love to see what it did to Dwight Yorke!

Or am I perceiving this the wrong way?

You've got to admit that the Andy Cole stunt double has got pretty good ball control ;)

Yes poor old Luis van...he won't be in the next installment will he ;)

I'd bet they'd love to have Bobby coaching the all stars if it wasn't for the fact that most times he does an interview he has the Adidas clad Toon top on.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how he'd get them to get the ball back. I reckon he'd walk up to the gate and talk wonderfully to the security guard about how, if he kept the football in there he would be depriving the world of a vital ingredient to a wonderful game. The guard would be so impressed by Bobby's schpeel that he lets them in and they don't have to jump out of any windows.

You can just here Bobby now, "Young Edmond Davids take Frank Totti and Dermot Yorke in their and carefully pick up the ball and bringit back to me then you can have the rest of the day off"
