So, with the World Cup being in full flow now, but slightly disappointing in the lack of thrills so far, I had to bring up an interesting theoretical question. Which of the following teams, based on the showcase ads from the two big sports companies, is better?

I guess Team Adidas is at an immediate disadvantage because they don’t have a goalie. And they decided to give up on a defensive line and load up the midfield. Still, having Messi and Villa up front, supported by Kaká probably means they would control the ball and run away with it. And even though he is retired, Zidane would be awesome off the bench.

One thing there is no doubt about – Nike’s “Write the Future” is definitely the better ad by miles. And Messi is the most awesome, unselfish soccer player on the planet.
