It's Just A Game (or is it?)

[FIFA, World Cup, football, soccer, U2, Bono]

Watch World Cup 'Soccer' promos featuring music by U2 and voice-over by Bono:

it's a simple thing.
just a ball and a goal.
but once every four years, that simple thing drastically changes the world.
it closes the schools.
closes the shops.
closes a city.
stops a war.
a simple ball fuels the passion and pride of nations.
gives people everywhere something to hope for.
gives country's respect where respect is in short supply.
and achieves more than the politicians ever could.
once every four years, a ball does the impossible.
and if history means anything, the world as we know it is about to
change.


...now tell me that you didn't think that World Peace might be
obtainable, even if only for a moment.

That is one of the best sports commercials ever. It ranks up there with the Mean Joe Greene Coca~Cola, Gatorade "What is sport?", and Michael Jordan Gatorade commercials. They just make you feel good about sports.
