Ronaldinho / Cantona Advert

I assume most of ye saw the ad on the telly last night during the half time break of the Lyons v Milan game. Ronaldinho is a f*****g genius with a ball. Goes to show what the Brazillian game of Futbal de Salao can do for ball control.
Wasn't Simon Clifford, the promoter this game in the UK, hounded out of Southampton trying to get the youth players to hone their skills using these Brazillian methods?
Mesmerising is the only way to describe this man's ball skills.
Orthodontists please note - there are career opportunities in Brazil

All the nike ads

Usual top notch stuff. Some aren't great but worth it for the Ronaldinho clips alone

When I saw Cantona fronting the add, I thought it might be a technical video on how to lunge in to the crowd with both feet

First thing he did that made me love him...

Cantona was a fabulous, no tricks, no pace but he had vision, the ability to do or see something different and a cool finisher.

The first player to make the EPL appeal to those players on the continent IMO and kick off the footballing surge in the last 10-15 years.
