      Very cool ads. My favorite is the Dutch Football Federation T-Shirt. The Nike one with “2010″ taking the shape of a soccer player is very creative as well.

      Absolutely love the ‘Do you see what we see’ ad from Nike. Beautimous!

      I love the IMAX ads and Netherlands shirt ads. Very nicely put together!

      Funny to see how many of the players in Nike’s “Write The Future”-campain turned out to be the World Cup’s biggest disappointments – but the campain idea is great.

      Awesome!! The Dutch t-shirts are a brilliant idea :)

      The Nike statues are also great, but a pity so few of those players are actually making their mark as the ad suggests they would be…

      The Aussies got the cat wrong in that Optus posters: we don’t have Tigers down here, Lions, Leopards and Cheetahs, yes. Considering how some players behave, it would probably be more appropriate to have used a Cheetah, hehe.

      The last one for SAA is pure brilliance, but might not make sense if you’re not in South Africa at the moment: absolutely EVERYONE here right now has a flag (some have dozens) attached to their car windows. The streets are literally a-flutter with flags of the world, super stuff!

      Great selection again. Thanks again for your great posts. The South African is awesome. I have by the way just created a Top list inspired by your post on smokintops.com where anyone can vote and suggest their favorites.

      Some great ads however, the Optus ads depicting the wild animals of Africa are incorrect being that Tigers are not from Africa unless in a zoo….

      Hi there,
      These are awesome…
      I’ve got one to add – it’s an interactive billboard (part of a wider adshel and general outdoor campaign), for Emirates airlines, and it’s currently running in Sydney.
      I love the way it links soccer and travel.

      The one with the meercats is cool. I didnt see too many nike ads during this world cup though…
      Sure there are going to be some good ones for the olympics coming up soon.

      Nice job.
