Benched Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hey guys, just thought I'd start a thread for any weird and wonderful football related stories, pics, vids etc you can find. Here's 2 of mine. Strange stadium, obviously not in use anymore. Link to comment
spectacular291 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 the stadium looks like as if AFL tried to expand to Japan and obviously failed... Link to comment
Benched Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 i did cheat a bit with that one, I think it's an old Japanese baseball stadium. Link to comment
spectacular291 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 must be offseason then? Link to comment
Davo Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'm a big fan of the videos that Nike/Adidas put out before major tournaments. I'm sure most people have seen them before but I always look forward to them. For the 2002 World Cup Nike did the cage match tournament For 2006 Adidas did the Jose +10 ads as part of their impossible is nothing campaign Link to comment
Davo Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 In 2006 Nike had their Joga Bonito campaign. Ronaldinho Thierry Henry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITpFdcujJ6E Wayne Rooney Cristiano Ronaldo vs Zlatan Ibrahimovic Brazil Link to comment
Davo Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 For the 2010 World Cup Nike did their Write the Future ad which was a bit cheesy but kind of cool. And before Euro 2012 their latest ad was My Time is Now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMv8g8CO4cQ Link to comment
Erebus Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 The ones in the 90s were awesome. The one where they kick the ball around the world and the one where the Adidas players played the demons from hell. Cantona pwning the devil at the end was awesome. also in 1998 I think it was (can't remember..) with R9onaldo showing off his boots with his number and name on it...then Casaraghi looks at the label "made in Italy" hahah (was the campaign where they are playing beach football) at work now, so can't post Youtube links.

GD07 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) The nike one for the world cup in 98 was good, with the Brazillian team kicking the ball through the airport. This one. Edited November 16, 2012 by GD07 Link to comment

I can't believe I forgot that Good vs Evil Nike ad. I loved that. I had a mate at school who used to pop his collar when he took penalties because of that ad. Also I love the bit where Madini says "maybe they're friendly?" Link to comment
ATP Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 What a blast from the past! I remember watching these on TV at their respective times... Love the 98 brazil in the airport - was that Cantona on the plane reading the newspaper? Link to comment

Ok it's the off season for most of us who play on weekends so here's a bit of training motivation. It's a video for Nike directed by Guy Ritchie. Benched 1 Link to comment

marron Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I am sure there is more interesting stuff out there than advertising, as good as some of those are Like this for instance: Anyone want to have a crack at when and where this was taken? It's kinda interesting.... Link to comment

It's kinda interesting.... Oh it's gone. Anyway, became highly topical after I posted it. It was a photo of the German team of 1935 doing the nazi salute at White Hart Lane. The FA flew a swastika above the ground. Link to comment
GaryFish Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) http://yourweeklyfootballhistorylesson.tumblr.com/ Good blog. Worth a peek. Especially for anyone young enough to think that soccer shorts should always touch the knee, you might learn something. Edited November 28, 2012 by GaryFish Link to comment
