Shattered dreams* - Johnny Hates Jazz

Nike cursed those players featured prominently in the ad?



Well, Drogba was injured before the world cup. Ronaldinho and Walcott din even make it to the team. Ribery was in the dismal French team (did he even play? Can't remember - it was that forgettable).

And how about the main characters in the ad - Cannavaro, Rooney and Ronaldo, the 3 who had dreams? Cannavaro appearing in some TV show (sori, dun know wat it is). Rooney being knighted, beating Federer in ping pong and having babies named after him, Ronaldo having a huge statute of him built and appearing in the Simpsons...

Well, let these pics tell the story:-


Cannavaro left the field last after arguing with the referee.


Rooney failed to score a goal and performed consistently - consistently bad.


Ronaldo is now accused of spitting at a cameraman after last nite's game.

Yeah, none of them had their dreams come true. they could not write a future that was what they wanted. Instead, they all leave with shattered dreams.

Coincidence? Ironic! But it was a nice ad, wasn't it? Still, Nike should have featured Messi and David Villa instead!!!!

Pics taken from various sites online

*Their debut single which was a worldwide hit!
