This is what the World Cup is all about



I always thought that football commercials had more substance than any other sport and said much about the way the world is. And this commercial "United" sums up everything you need to know what the World Cup and the game of football stands for. "United" features Bono doing the voice over and the music of U2's "Magnificent" as the soundtrack. This is, in my honest opinion, the anti-thesis of Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire."

And below is the full-length version of the "Jose +10" adidas commercial of the 2006 World Cup. Man, Franz Beckenbauer. Der Kaiser! One of my all-time fave players (of course, he played for the New York Cosmos).
