BEST WORLD CUP COMMERCIALS EVER MADE


Once again the FIFA World Cup is upon us!! Being held in Brazil this year and kicking off on the 12th of June 2014 it’s bound to be an excellent time as we watch nation go against nation in a game of skill and finesse. Crowds going wild, fans cheering and showering pride over their team’s win and even shedding tears with every loss and of course, rivers of beer flowing through the arena. There truly is nothing quite like the showcase of professional talent and sportsmanship. Even though I am not an avid, hardcore sports fan and proud owner of a beer cap or vuvuzela, I still have admiration for the talent involved. If you really think about it, sports in today’s age is merely and evolved, civilized form of the Colosseum where people witnessed the mighty Gladiators fight. Today our Gladiators are the Sports stars.
