AFR Answers: “What is the best footy commercial ever?”

Deckmix asked: What’s the best footy commercial?

I have narrowed down to three football commercials that I consider to be the best. One is the funniest, one is the most well-done, and one is the most epic.

1. Funniest (courtesy of Lucozade). Carlsberg’s “Ireland Win The World Cup” ad is an honourable runner-up.

2. Most well-done (Nike’s ‘Take it to the Next Level’). Runner up is the FA’s ‘Whatever your level’, a hilarious parody of the Nike commercial.

3. Most Epic (ESPN’s Preview to the 2006 World Cup, with Bono). This one stands alone for me.

What are your favourite commercials? Answer below!

Ask us a question! Come on, what’s on your mind?

lorilicious answered: I’d have to say one of Ronaldinho’s Pepsi commercials. The one where Ronaldinho switches from wanting to be a ref to wanting to be a player.
