In the Spirit of the Upcoming Football World Cup…

I thought I’d post this awesome ad for Louis Vuitton featuring football’s three retired greats – Zidane, Pele, and Maradona.

I so love the concept. Three football greats bent over a game of foosball. Isn’t that so cool? The product is left in the background so I don’t know how successful an advertisement this is. But I love the image :), and Zidane certainly looks fit enough to go for another World Cup or two.

Here is the full video of the advertisement:

So, anyone else excited about the World Cup? Which team are you supporting? Since India does not play, I am rooting for my perennial favorites – Brazil. I just love the way they play…and also the way they look while playing 😉

    I’m quite excited! I stumbled across the world cup in 2006 when Australia finally got a mention and I loved it. I remember watching the match between Australia and Brazil the night/morning before an exam. Watched all the way through only to have Brazil score one goal right before the end. Arggh!

    Or perhaps I was only watching Kaka…
