I think its pretty cool. Apparently they have banned the ad in England.

Why was it banned? I think it's an enjoyable ad but not quite as good as the one for the Soccer World Cup.

Why was it banned?

False advertising?

It was banned because it portrayed violence in city streets. At least thats the rumour anyway. Pretty stupid really

I thought it was banned because nobody could recognise any of the players. They needed a couple of soccer players in the ad to keep the poms interested.

Yeah Rupeni Caucaunibuca, I also loved the set play at the intersection, and I like the fact that the got different players from different countries. Its tonnes better than the channel 7 Wendell Sailor commercial, that was lame, Wendell getting through so many people, you can tell thats nothing but fiction.

I love the ad. Very clever.

I also liked the Nike ads they had with Andrew Johns a few years ago (and also the less shown, but much funnier one with Gorden Tallis).
