A worldly religion known as football

This is one of those spots that I'll actually run to the TV and watch closely, especially if I can catch it from the beginning. I fell in love with the spot because it is every kid's dream to play club football. The way this spot starts is as if we were playing in the Minors or in an inner-city team and then getting scouted to play in the major league club, and eventually getting a chance to play in the national team. This spot was very reminiscent of the story-line in the movie Goal!, a movie which is equivalent to Rudy here in the U.S.

Below is the Nike spot that pays a bit of a tribute to football (soccer). Enjoy!
