Puma World Cup TV Commercial: Journey Of Football

Posted on April 18, 2010 by The Gaffer

Puma has released a TV commercial to promote its brand for the 2010 World Cup. And it is, without a doubt, my favorite World Cup commercial of all that I have seen so far.

“The spot is homage to the soul of the game of football. Shot on location in Angola, Ghana and The Ivory Coast and soundtracked by ‘Going On’ by Gnarls Barkley, it features PUMA players Samuel Eto’o, Gervinho, Emmanuel Eboue and Mohammed Zidan,” according to magazine Cretique.

For me, it sums up the raw passion that the World Cup creates, the spontaneity and wonderful emotions. The World Cup is a party atmosphere and this captures that in a beautiful manner with a brilliant song to boot.

    Saw this the other day on tv and now it is my favorite commercial. It’s so “feel good” that it gave me chills.

    It’s so good that I’m planning to buy the song by Gnarls Barkley. Great stuff!
