Hey the other day i was watching beach football on ESPN and guess who was playing? Eric Cantona!

It was some international beach football competition in Brazil.

Cantona Cantona Cantona - wasnt that guy great?

Anyway, bout him playin Beach soccer, yeah, he does that on a regular basis - tournaments, friendlies, fun, activities for young soccer players. I remember in 99 or 2000, i went to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and there was this under 18 beach soccer tournament and the winning team gets to play against Cantona's team. Didnt join, just watched...fun times.

Anyway, i think he WAS banned from por-soccer cuz he kicked a spectator... (nice kick - weehaaa)

both those commercials went global. I loved that Man. U vs the Sumos commercial.

"Man. U vs the Sumos commercial" Nike - Adidas or wot? And can we find the ads on the net? I know Nike has its recent ads on its site, but can we find other ads somewhere???

The Man U vs Sumos was for Pepsi...you can find all the commericials at

OH! how about that new one for Sierra Mist? Freddy Adu (14 year old prodigy playing for DC United) vs Pele...anybody know what i'm talkin about?

One I can think of is that bubble tape commercial where the goalie uses the entire string of gum to make a really large hand and then have the ball stuck in his mouth.

And I'm not a soccer fan (except in high school).

The best one has to be the one currentlty on Scottish TV.
(traditionally one side takes off their shirts so you see their bair chest..ie Cloths v chests)..

A couple of guys are kicking their ball about their flat when the ball flies out of the window....some workmen on a break start kicking the ball about before more men & women join in as the ball is kicked around Glasgow until there are hundreds of players running around the streets, some with shirts, some without......eventually a big fat guy scores a goal

sounds strange but it's hilarious
