These were the five best televisions ads during the 2010 soccer World Cup. | IOLsport

JOHANNESBURG – The following are the top television adverts that flighted during the 2010 World Cup that was hosted in the country.Didier Drogba, Fabian Cannavaro, Wayne Rooney , Theo Walcott, Franck Ribery, Andres Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas, Gerard Pique, Roger Federer losing at table tennis to Rooney. Ronaldinho, Kobe Bryant, Cristiano Ronaldo nutmegging Homer Simpson and the great Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal all feature here.

It ends with Ronaldo about to strike a free kick, the screen goes black and up pop the words: ‘Write the Future.’ Firstly, those shirts worn by the players are appalling. Leo Messi, Drogba and Thierry Henry are trying to use their fame out in a market near a rural village - there’s lots of African savanna – and Henry does a “do you know who we are?” with a kid who’s just opened a can of Pepsi.

Frank Lampard, Andre Arshavin and Kaka stop by, and all the players kick a ball around a mobile field. Kaka trips over a meerkat and Messi runs into a tree, he also lands up lost in some very long grass – while a lion grunts nearby. Akon sings something called ‘Oh Africa’ – which is not good.Coke asked us to ‘Open Happiness,’ while using Roger Milla’s iconic celebration at Italia 90 to tell us that the veteran Cameroonian striker had not only “taught us how to celebrate, but how to live.
