[GSeward]

can't believe this was 13 years ago...i'm getting old

[kinjvyas]

The last great World Cup, 2002 sucked, 2006 okay, 2010 horrible, 2014 better be good.

[gprince21]

i still remember this commercial....best commercial ever made in my opinion

[redwiking]

This commercial gave me goose bumps everytime I see it. I forget who the music was by, but had found it, and the whole song is great too.

[brigicandice]

BATISTUTA WAS THE BEST

[evertruly]

i am in search of a pepsi ad or maybe even coke or adidas not sure which one - it has various football greats of that era Ortega, Beckham, Del Piero, Zidane, Berasatagui, Romario etc... each kick the ball frantically. Overall the quality of the ad is much better than today's

[tDotzFynest23]

one of my favorite commercials ever

[GSeward]

Oh man, I remember this commercial from '98, the World Cup always produces some great ads

I have been looking for a world cup '98 commercial that had actor Sean Bean, he walks and talks about the passion of futbol, the fans, etc and it was shown only a few times during that world cup, it's a fantastic commercial, does anyone know anything about it?

[badnewsme]

have been waiting to see this commercial for 10 years. the song is what did it for me. now i have to find more from that artist.

thx for posting

cheers

[RafaelTridico]

It called Ameno and it's from the band called Era... I remember this as the first of many commercials of this kind from Mastercard

[thedinnerlady]

Does anyone know the name of the song though? or of the group that sings it? I love it

[willambeau]

Era - "Ameno" :-D

I heard this commercial ten years ago. I listened to the commercial several times before I could decipher lyrics. Once I did, I "Googled" the lyrics, and out came the name of the song and who sings it.

[chicoman27]

best world cup 98, no offense to anybody! :p

[mate926]

so fucking true1!!!!!

[manutdr8]

NO 2002 IS!!!!!!!!

[romaniaisnumberone]

so true!! i didnt see the 98 one, the first one i actually watched all the games was the 06 one and that was amazing.

[Kurac80]

Wow this commercial is a part of my life. The best one ever. I could never forget the world cup 98....something so speical about it that i don't know what it is....every world cup after was just not the same...wonderful brings out passion and joy for soccer again...the best sport in the world.

[JACKOTACO]

TICKET TO PARIS 800,lol I wish!!!!

[Kurac80]

well that's what it used to cost but ever since the "terrorism" had been invented the prices are just crazy..all the security fees and fucki.n.g s h i t for no reason at all.

[JACKOTACO]

Yeah I know, but like right after 9/11 like the first few weeks even month after 9/11 flight tickets were dirt cheap, my brother flew to vegas round trip from LA for like 45 dollars. Damn economy, I heard parts in LA gas is like 4.19 a gallon for 91 around the hollywood area. Now everything is gone up,

[JACKOTACO]

Man I have my WC 98 games on tape and I recall this i even recorded it. I remb they posted a USA version but they blew in that WC then they changed in bRASIL.

[gricetti]

thanks for posting this commercial, I have been looking for this video for a long time, I was on the commercial as the guy that does the bicycle kick, and some other soccer scenes, thanks.

gio.

[Monkeyshouts]

"Ameno", Era

also used for the film score of "Les Visiteurs", an unknown bizarre story.

[marighand]

hahah i remember that song, lol!!

[cfabluenose]

Loved the commercial when it first aired. Perfectly captures the spectacle and passion of world cup soccer. One of the best commercials I've seen. Thanks for posting it.

[bewareoftheboss]

oh my god i remember this, they kept puttin it on tv, and the song, ameno, it was a hit then.

[rhdez11]

omg... I remember that commercial. thanks for posting it.

[RAPTIK88]

ok the clip for 2006 is a lot better

[pjfilms2]

This is a great commercial, glad you posted it. This is not the exact version I recall however. The version I recall was eesentially the same, but with a few different shots of the fans at the end, and Pele was not featured in it as well. Do you have or know about that version?

[Sharky8500]

That was shit! How boring.
