Benched Posted November 13, 2012 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.
spectacular291 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 the stadium looks like as if AFL tried to expand to Japan and obviously failed...
Benched Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 i did cheat a bit with that one, I think it's an old Japanese baseball stadium.
Davo Posted November 16, 2012 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
Davo Posted November 16, 2012 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
Davo Posted November 16, 2012 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
Erebus Posted November 16, 2012 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 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

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?"
ATP Posted November 16, 2012 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?

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
Chaopescado Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 Loved this one before the 2006 World Cup Balkanite 1
NickosCPC Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Loved this one before the 2006 World Cup My dad still quotes this in his thick wog accent when bresciano plays DinoPresinger 1
marron Posted November 21, 2012 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....
ATP Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Loved this one before the 2006 World Cup My dad still quotes this in his thick wog accent when bresciano plays I do it a lot after too many beers, remember the ad like it was yesterday...
TUNIT Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Strange stadium, obviously not in use anymore. Where is that??

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.
GaryFish Posted November 28, 2012 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
Jarosz213 Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Timsah Arena which is in construction will be the new home of Bursaspor of Turkey and is scheduled to open in 2013.

julyaugustreno Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 those ads are all awesome, I remember some of them. So clever. Makes me wish I'd played football since I was 6 months old.
