Not sure if people already know this but Adidas have been doing this cool campaign called Dream Big - The World's Biggest Footballers The World's Smallest Teams where they have the biggest names in football visit youth teams from the Isle of Scilly, Andorra and San Marino. Each campaign has 4 videos and so far only the Isle of Scilly one has been completed. You can watch the likes of Steven Gerrard, David Beckham, and Patrick Vieira in that one.

yup watched some of the vids when i was checking out the new boots at the adidas webby not too long ago..the one with andorra seems interesting!jose and messi what a combo!they just had to cut it off when messi appeared..darn the isles of scilly is certainly awesome..didn't know they existed until a few days ago

is it the same with the tv ads ?

nope i don't think so..they're quite unique and certainly not broadcasted on malaysian tv.u can be sure of that

They are not ads. They are more like football documentaries
I was referred to the website by a friend and I found them really cool

oh .. my bad i got mixed up with pepsi ads

watching it now

I wonder who is that friend you refer to?

Saluda Al Campeon!

Great vids! Can't wait for them to release the remaining episodes for Andorra and San Marino.

Nice, thanks for sharing!

It's basically an ad per say. Adidas did it to promote their products.
Btw, if you guys notice; they are differentiated by the boot's product i.e. Predator, adiPure and F50.
But overall they're creative........
I love it when Beckham at the last vid of Scilly asked "Who's your favourite footballer?" and the answer is "Steven Gerrard".

he's kinda disappointed with the answer he seemed

nice video
hoping they will continue this program

It's acting....all for the show...but I bet the kids are real in saying that. If they're not; Adidas sure did hell of a good job as it seems so convincing.......

And the take on Andorra whereby it was the most notorious football nation....wow! never knew that.
Informative piece of creative work! That's why I luv Adidas.......

It's great to see Adidas did so much on improving the game of football!
Nice JOB!

Yes alex all credit to u

Ah I should have rephrased that. It is an advertising campaign. But it isn't a TV advert to be used during commercial breaks.
Thx for the heads up.

It's all right.. I'm just foolin' around..
Just wanna share with you all that, adidas did somethin' different and meanin'ful clips like this. It's darn nice!
Better than Nikefootball my personal view.

OT: Alex ur avatar

what is that ? Artistic photography ? Or pornography ?

yeah nice vids.already watched them since the 1st day released...

It's a good program. Adidas really thought of improving this youths. They use this method to expose them to superstars so that they will have an urge to take football as a profession. Good job, adidas. For the youth!

Btw, i like Beckham's expression when the kid said his idol is Gerrard. "Really?" *looks away*... that was classic! lol

I like the Jose Mourinho version the most, it just so unjose-mourinho when he train with the kids ... really the special one

that wise guy who appears in the media is all an act i tell u..he does it to protect the players.that's the special one

anyone noes wats the title for the music playing in the scilly's vid ?

Ever thought that's how more people will buy more boots?

Pour in more money into youth development in poor countries, that's a way better publicity than some cheap thrills made with mega bucks (yeah, Becks and co get a lot of money from adidos), pretending to care for youths...

For money! now that's a way more accurate expression mate...

typical malaysian-minded. i doubt it bro, no offense but i dont think they really care bout the money anymore, with those kinda wages per weeks.. they can actually say no thanks when they were offered to appear in d ads, money aint everything. those stars basically dont see money as something to think anymore, they get whatever they want. and those stars are just the role-model type, do we see any joey barton & bellamy like here? no i guess, so i think what theyve done really give youths some hope to achieve on.

adidas > nike

Wow... hard to find a person like you anymore, serious... no wonder there are more kids playing football at my neighborhood field now... really put things into perspective...

quite cool...like it.

Andorra full sets came out adi !!

its a win-win solution actually, the kids get the stuff, training, advices, and Adidas gets the publicity...

these stars are paid more than GBP 100k a week, i doubt money is a big factor in doing those campaign video

even though players like beckham and gerrard cant say no in making those videos as they are like adidas ambassadors, i'm sure they'd be more than happy to promote their image by helping the kids, regardless whether they really meant it

not really coz Man Utd wears Nike

For my personal opinion, Adidas is far better compare to Nike in football shoes . .

The brand with "Tiga Belang" . .
