Goalkeeper

If this guy was the goalie on your team you’d probably want to kill him. Taking unnecessary risks for the hell of it is funny if you’re an unsupervised child or blind old person. The possible outcomes of severe maiming or death are all art of life’s rich tapestry. However taking risks with the scoreline [...]

Best Soccer Moments Ever

If you don’t like football then don’t bother. If you do like football, then no doubt you will be delighted by the classic sight of Giggsy beating the entire Arsenal squad and single handedly condemning them to 2 seasons out in the cold. Or better still Garrard’s genius!

World cup

Hey America - WAKE UP! You guys are doing well in the World Cup. You’ve beaten Portugal and drawn to South Korea and could well go through to the knock-out stages. And most of you don’t care, probably don’t even know what I’m talking about. This football the game that counts, not your parochial nonsense [...]

Umbro ad

A first rate ad, containing a salutory tale for anyone who has walked into a room to find someone having a good old wank. Or at least that’s what it looks like. And of course you jump to conclusions, make wild accusations, and refuse to listen to whatever excuse is proffered. For instance, that WAS [...]

Sports Stab

It’s the Rugby World Cup at the moment which is a huge deal for some people, and a complete non-event to everyone else. Except that England might [...]

pepsiBeckham

Presumably this ad was made for TV - it hasn’t been aired yet, making it a bit of a first. All you Americans won’t have a clue who this guy is, which is a strange thought because he is possibly the best known man in the UK. He’s a football player (the real kind) and [...]

Ice Baby

Revealing what product this ad is advertising kind of gives the game away, which would be a pity as it’s pretty funny.
An interesting side issue is the nature of the two protagonists: young babe and rich old fart. One of greatest things about being male is the knowledge that, having shagged 19 year old fuck-bunnies [...]

Hate Football

It’s the World Cup. It takes place once every four years, and lasts for a month. That’s one forthy-eighth of your life. So all those moaning fuckers who don’t like it, shut the fuck up and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves. Please.

Hamlet

A classic British ad which explodes the ludicrous myth we have all somehow bought in to that smoking is a dangerous, filthy habit, and that therefore professional sportsmen eschew it. This is clearly bollocks, as evidenced by all those tabacco hoardings you see outside schools, which prove indisputably that people who smoke are happy, active, [...]

Goal

A classic ad - but be warned, it’s almost a 5 Mb file, so if you’re on a dial-up it’ll take a while. It’s the one with the border guards somewhere hot and dusty trying to score against each other, and it’s been around for a long time so you may have seen it.

Nike Have Lots of Money. Well Done Nike.

I have no love for Nike and all their fucking money, but after a deep breath, and through gritted teeth, I have to admit, some of their dirty great ads are pretty good. This one for example.
