Unfortunately the prat is in it but the advert seems funny especially R9 turning up at the end.

If anything this shows the lack of personalities in today’s game that we have to bring stars from the past into the new ad..
It’s no Portugal vs Brazil ‘04
Both cool, cringe and meh at the same time.
Might be cool for the kids but it ain't even close to the cage 5 a side ad or the brazil airport ad.
well put. It's hard not to feel a touch of nostalgia, but I surely felt cringe all throughout video and was well bored after first minute. Repetitive and uncreative, isn't it
We’re the old adverts as cool as I remember or were they a bit naff like this if you weren’t 11?
This
No Cantona means boring be default. Not a patch on cageball and Brazil vs Portugal. Also Cantona vs the devil but that might me just nostalgia talking 
Nah, cageball was definitely cool as feck.
Makes no sense that female players are in the ad. It's the men's World Cup.
Quality ad. My main takes are
Big mamas behave like big mamas no matter what;
There are females in football (?);
Noone likes a referee;
Virgil's agent succeeded in bringing him in.

Makes no sense that time travel is in the ad. It's the men's World Cup not Doctor Who.
Legendary. Plus, the King is in it
Because equality innit.
It's why there were men in the big ad for the womens world cup that we all saw when it dropped on twitter.
Also this one is utter bollocks.
The concept is fine, but yes, you may as well include darleks if you're including female footballers.
Nike needs to get a move on with their ads. They arent as good recently.
I'm all for equality, but it should at least make sense. Agreed on this being a rubbish ad.
Fitting ad for this World Cup.
Is the world cup even mentioned in this ad? They should've added some Italians for equality.
Too long, I fell asleep after 20 seconds.
I don't believe so. May as well have done.
Hey! If they want a duel sex World Cup then bring it on!
Utter shite
The Mission, the man vs Devil? The airport, the ship was miles miles better than this abomination

I thought that was pretty awful.
The uncanny valley of Cristiano Ronaldo 2022 is too much for the brain to handle.

No no no. I don't mind Alex Morgan showing up at all. Wish she would show up a lot more often.
Yup. I was waiting for Stone Cold to make an appearance.
If it were not for the cringe, I would have yawned. Couldn't do both at the same time
The idea’s cute, but the CGI is ropey and the setting pretty bland so I don’t see it aging well/becoming iconic.
Out of interest.
How would duel sex world cup work?
Are we talking cock jousting or cocks out at 40 paces?
Thought that was pretty cool. Nothing beats the 98 airport advert though.
This is incredible to the 10 year old inside me. It's fecking sick if you don't look at it with a lens of adult cynicism.
A spot of gentle jousting for the group stage, then the no fecks given pistol fire for the knockouts!
If @MUW4Eva was still here he would have been complaining about there being too few women footballers there, specifically MUFC women footballers.
please tell me you're jokingThree and a half minute for an ad. BBrrrrr...
Had some decent bits but despite my aversion to using the word I think cringe is an apt described.
Also a bit nit picky but why include a female player when it's exclusively for men.
