Nike's 'Write the Future' soccer commercial a good way to spend 3 minutes

By Sun-Times Wire

Even if you don’t like soccer — and studies suggest that you don’t — the new Nike commercial making the rounds in advance of next month’s World Cup is pretty darn compelling.

Some of the world’s best players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Wayne Rooney, Fabio Cannavaro, Franck Ribery, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Patrice Evra, Gerard Pique, Ronaldinho, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard and Thiago Silva, are featured. Special guest cameos are made by tennis legend Roger Federer and basketball superstar Kobe Bryant. Homer Simpson completes the star-studded cast of appearances. The film will be shown on TV for the first time on May 22nd during the European Club Final.
