Nike's 'Write the Future' Disaster

All the star players featured in the ad have been written off from South Africa's future world cup champions book...

Nike's WRITE THE FUTURE ad is awesome (didn't even expect Homer Simpson to be in it LOL) you can have a looksie at the full length of all the compiled ads:

However everyone in the ad has gone home. Last night's 1-0 victory for Spain officially sent off the last featured player, C. Ronaldo of Portugal. Below are the players featured in the Nike's ad and their order of disappearance:

Ronaldinho (Brazil)

Injured even before the FIFA 2010 World Cup began, hence unable to play for his country's team. We really hoped it wasn't the samba-robics...






Fabio Cannavaro (Italy)

Humiliated in the group stage with his team's draw with New Zealand and Paraguay (the latter advanced way further into quarter finals)







Frank Ribery (France)

Annihilated in the group stage with the French team's lost to Mexico and South Africa.







Didier Drogba (Cote d'Ivoire / Ivory Coast)

With several injuries plaguing him, the African team went packing early as aggregate was not on their side.







Wayne Rooney (England)

Having draw results with USA (1:1) and Algeria (0:0) the Germans sealed their fate in a 4:1 defeat in the Group of 16 stage.







Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)

Although the team annihilated North Korea 7-0 and moved into 2nd Stage, a beautiful goal by David Villa of Spain sent the entire Portuguese team home. And yes he dived a lot in the match as usual. Totally believable...
