Take It to the Next Level...

About 2 months ago, the new Nike Soccer commercial directed by Guy Ritchie was released. I still love seeing it. It's a 1st-person job as if we're looking through your eyes while climbing the ranks of the futbol world into world renowned celebrity. The clip is a who's who in European soccer featuring YOU against Christiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), being tapped by Arsene Wenger to come to Arsenal, subbing for Gallas, scoring after an assist from Cesc Fabregas, losing a tooth via Ibrahimovich, walking the Red Carpet, high fiving/getting a lesson from Ronaldinho, taking the field with the Dutch National team, Huntelaar and Ruud Van Nilsteroy against Portugal, and it is after the jump. Oh, Guy Ritchie...you're cooler than Madonna.... Well, maybe not....

The Euro Cup began last weekend and is one week in. This is basically a mini-world cup for the national teams of Europe (like the World Cup - it's every 4 years). The defending champs, Greece, are about to be eliminated, while Spain and the Netherlands look poised for dominance. The Italian and French sides couldn't win if you paid them (my what difference 2 years makes after an Italy/France World Cup Final in 2006). Check it out on everyday for the rest of the month on ESPN2 and ESPN Classic every day at 12:00 and 2:45 (we watch it in our resident's room while we eat our lunch). You can also watch it for free on ESPN360.com if your internet provider allows it. Viva Espana!
