The Top 10(ish) Soccer Commercials of All Time

By: Celticrugby

Since about 1998 soccer commercials have been popping up for every major tournament, boot releases and just for the hell of it.

This is the comprehensive list of the top soccer related commercials of all time. If you've been a fan of the sport since at least 1998 you'll know most if not all of these commercials, although there might have been one or two you haven't seen that's slipped through the cracks.

It was really too hard to whittle it down to just 10, so I've included some honorable mentions. If you feel your favorite commercial was slighted, or isn't on here, make a comment either here, on the forum or via email at soccer247blog@gmail.com. I'll make sure its added.

Let the countdown begin.

Honorable Mention # 2: The Impossible Is Nothing featuring Messi, Altidore etc.

The main feature of these ads were players overcoming adversity to get where they are today. While they aren't filled with Ole's and amazing goals, they were made to benefit and encourage the younger players of the game.

Jozy's spot.



Messi's Spot.



Honorable Mention # 1: Pepsi's Medieval Commercial



#10 - Euro 2004's Road to Lisbon


Unfortunately for some, the Greek defense wasn't the highlight of this video.

#9 - +10 Dream Team from the 2006 World Cup



#8 - Nike's Good vs. Evil



#7 - Brazil vs. Portugal (World Cup 2006)



#6 Team Nike vs. The Ninja Samurais


You know what is cooler than a ninja? A ninja samurai.

#5 - Irn Bru's Scotland's going to the World Cup Commericals (WC 2006)



I was in Scotland at the time these were running, and I must say, it could be one of the best overall advertising runs of all time.

#4 Gatorade's Take Me Out to the Ballgame



My favorite US spot of all time, and one that probably encapsulates the team and its experiences the best.

#3 Henry's House



That crazy Frenchman is at it again.

#2 Take it to the Next Level



This actually might be "technically" the best, but the #1 commercial of all time is essentially the Godfather of soccer commercials.

#1 Brazil in the Airport



The classic takes it in the end.
