THE CURSE OF THE NIKE ADD

Jun 30, 2010 22:19

Wieden + Kennedy's flashy "Write the Future" spot for the World Cup was great fun to watch, but most of the talk now is about how it might have cursed the players it featured-particularly its six major stars.

Let's go to the replay:
Didier Drogba: broke his arm, Ivory Coast eliminated
Fabio Cannavaro: captained underwhelming Italy, which was ( Read more... )

gerard pique, wayne rooney, andres iniesta, franck ribery, didier drogba, world cup 2010, theo walcott, landon donovan, ronaldinho, cesc fabregas, cristiano ronaldo, fabio cannavaro

the curse has been curse of the big names. people pretend that Messi is having a great WC to back this theory up but fact is that besides Villa it's choke city out there sry 2 say.

messi is having a great WC tho

even if he isn't scoring, he's like the king of assists right now and his team is doing well. unlike rooney who was shit all around, even without the goals messi is still doing great

yeah but if Messi had been in the Nike ad the article would have said "Messi: hasn't scored once this WC". Can't pick and choose like that...

Re: tired of this meme piratesswoop July 1 2010, 02:22:07 UTC

true, but anyone who actually pays attention to the actually matches could tell you that even without the goals, messi is playing loads better than any of those guys in that ad other than maybe robinho who doesn't count because it looks like his was hastily thrown together to make up for ronaldinho's WC absence
