After scrolling through facebook avoiding any type of revision possible I stumbled upon a group named "Rules for women during the world cup" and let's just say men really don't want us around for it. My favourite rule was number 7.

Welcome to the fourth installment of our World Cup advertising series. This episode NIKE make it really fun taking the video adverts to literally a higher level. The opening sequence "WRITES THE...

This advert hasn't made the list because I think it's good, its mainly because I don't really know what to make of it. I thought it was innappropriate but apparently the folks that control British adverts don't agree. Make of it what you will...

US Players Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidore star in two hilarious adverts for EPSN's Sportscenter. Think Office Space meets US Soccer. Enjoy.

Throwing all the big HD cameras on the budget for this one, Fox Soccer made one of the best adverts to promote their coverage of the Premier League. Absolutely epic. Reminds me a bit of that beautiful "A Night At The Emirates" video.

Just so you know, 'what the fizzle!' is not the tag-line or something for the ad. It's something totally else. It is indeed one of the weirdest ads I've seen.

You must have noticed how you can't guess what some of the adverts are about until they finally tell you what it is about but this is something on a whole another level.

Thursday night on Fox Soccer Channel host Nick Webster mistakenly referred to Philadelphia fans as Son of Sam. That's brutal! Hahahahahahaha.

Word is that JP Dellacamera will be the voice of the Philadelphia Union! Very cool.

After years of relying on curious adverts to lure supporters, the football is now enough of an attraction by itself.
Getafe emerge from the shadow of their own advertising campaign.

Proof that as long as you filling someone's pocket they will do basically anything...

This advert despite being horrendously cheesy, has a brilliant vocal performance by former England manager Terry Venables covering Elvis.

I'm never that sure about Harry Redknapp's column in The Sun. He's been doing it for a few years now, but now that he's the manager of Spurs isn't it time to knock it on the head? You don't see Ferguson or Wenger with columns in the Daily Star.

The problem with having a newspaper column (even if you don't write it yourself) is that you have to constantly be giving your opinion on things and opinions can come back to haunt you.

Whenever you watch Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports each weekend, apart from having to put up with Paul Merson and the smarmy Matt Le Tissier, you've also got to put up with those adverts for the ambulance-chasing injury law firms. ‘Where there's blame there's a claim' was the most memorable line and they're generally become symbols of the blame culture that's gripped the UK in recent years.

I know many websites (in England atleast) give live commentary updates, which leads people to almost break the refresh button on their computer, but I thought that considering I have been massively excited for this moment for the past year at least, i'd give it a go and let you know updates from the game and what i'm thinking as I'm watching the opening of the World Cup in South Africa.

You analyse the fixtures, pick a match you're desperate to watch, and get into work early to ensure you're home in time. Minutes before kick off, you grab a beer from the fridge and perch yourself on the sofa, no intention of moving for a couple of hours. On goes the television, and then comes the big moment is it on BBC, or ITV?

This guy is dead to me.

Above, Joey reacts to the news of Chelsea offering him just 80K per week to rejoin the English champions. Obviously he was not pleased. He did not wreck an auto, obviously, but it's not a stretch to suggest he painted a similar face to Cashley's in the wake of that news from the Chelsea hierarchy.

Is David Beckham following Vinnie Jones to Hollywood? According to his new best friend Tom Cruise, Beckham would be a great actor. After all, he has appeared in adverts and television skits as himself. Naturally, the next progression should be a full-fledged movie star. However, Beckham has stated in the past that he is too stiff to act.

With their dreams shattered by a touring England side on Monday, Platinum Stars' much vaunted 'Platinum Generation' are this week beginning the post-mortem. This was supposed to be the Stars' great chance to shine, but yet again they have fallen short on the largest stage.

After going behind to a shock early goal to what appeared to be a competition-winning team mascot, the Stars fell apart entirely, conceding a second to the unemployed Joseph Cole, and a humiliating late third strike to a man who had seemingly wandered in from the car-park where he had being previously enjoying a nutritious fight.

As promised another rant about Hansen. This time i'm going to take it out of context by having a go at some of his shameless advertising...

Awful I know. But Hansen's advertising chops didn't stop there and continued with some god awful Morrison adverts. Oh and this is to add to him 5 million pound a year BBC salary

I was up reading late reading about football advertising and different adverts that have been successful over the last few years when I came across this goody. I actually remember seeing this ad when it was aired back in 1998. In this commercial, you will see the Brazilian National team getting a little bored before a flight.

While British viewers of the 2010 World Cup had to the watch endless variations on a dreadful theme that was the "Carling camels" advertising campaign over in Argentina the sports channel TyC came up with something a bit more emotive and inspiring.

The former Sweden and Nigeria manager Lars Lagerbäck has revealed this week that he has held preliminary talks with the FAW regarding the vacant position of the national coach of Wales. He has in the past starred in a couple of adverts on Swedish TV, that I feel need to be documented here:

Ultimately I feel it's unlikely that Lagerbäck will take on the role of Wales manager.
