Remembered seeing this spot whilst watching Chelsea take on Liverpool last Wednesday in the Champions League Semifinals:

Absolutely AWESOME.

Some shorter versions exist, but who needs those? That was the full thing right there. In all of Guy Ritchie’s directorial glory.

Nice cameos from the big Nike soccer athletes: Ronaldinho, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, William Gallas, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Did I miss any?

There has been much speculation as to who is being portrayed in the first person in this spot, as it is seemingly a youngster coming up in the Arsenal youth system, getting the call from Arsene Wenger, and playing on the Dutch national team. However, there has been no mention of specifics, so we are led to believe that it is meant to be YOU.

Awesome, awesome commercial.
