FIFA World Cup 2006

The largest sporting event in the world has kicked off today in Germany, with a 4-2 victory for Germany over Costa Rica. Despite the event's traditional lack of attention in the U.S., I highly recommend watching this event. No cup in recent memory has included so many stars, and so many talented teams. Here are some commercials to get the excitement flowing:

ESPN: Your Football Is Our Soccer:

Gatorade: Is It In You?

Nike: Joga Bonita

Nike: Ronaldinho

Addidas: Impossible is Nothing
