Nike’s ads perfectly remind us why football is so awesome. In the first video Nike talks about dreams coming through, while in the second it pits a team of clones against the real football stars – all in incredible animation.
Adidas’ ads are much shorter, and feature current and past football stars in various instances, some funnier than others.

Samsung’s recent Galaxy 11 ad is worse than previous commercials from the series, but it’s still good enough when it comes to football action

MacDonald’s ad shows that basically anyone can play football, no matter who, or where they are.
The Bavaria Holandress commercial is mostly about beer, but also about Brazil, the Netherlands and football.

Hyundai’s ad, meanwhile, has something to do with cars. And how a car could help with football.
Finally, the Movistar ad takes various stars from Spain, the current World Cup title holders, and puts them to work different jobs.
