Pepsi
Beckham's shirt-
Beckham is subbed off and isn't happy, and asks this kid in the tunnel for a sip from his can of Pepsi. After that, the kid asks Beckham for his shirt. Cue lovely music and slow motion photography, then the kid wipes the can with the shirt and chucks it away, and as he walks off he is revealed to be wearing a Juventus t shirt. Good stuff :D

Man U vs Juventus-
Released around the time when these two teams met in the Champions' League semi final in 98/99, this funny ad is about this poor bloke in the backroom area of the Stadio Delle Alpi who keeps getting his drinks nicked by the players after he puts his coins in the machine. After Inzaghi, Beckham, Yorke and Davids get his Pepsis, alas he gets his drink. But as it turns out he is the referee and is out of coins for the toss at the start of the match and instead the players have to play Scissors Paper Rock.

NIkefootball: Portugal vs Brazil-
Released in April 2004, in anticipation of The Spain/Portugal European Championships I suspect. An international match featuring Portugal and Brazil where anarchy breaks loose prior to kick off, as Luis Figo, grabbing the match ball off the referee, cheekily nutmegs Ronaldo and whispers provocative words into his ear. This leads to both teams running back into the stadium and having one of those, now expected, Nike-style footy battles. Denilson is back in this one again although we don't get to see too much of his skills unfortunately. Cantona, the other stable ingredient of Nike commercials also has a cameo. Good ad.

Stars: Figo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Christiano Ronaldo, Dida, cameo of Francesco Totti and Eric Cantona. A shame! No Rui Costa!
4*1/2 stars
