The NIKE Ad Jinx

You've all seen variations of the Nike ad aired for the World Cup right? It's looking more and more like a jinx to the participants....take Rooney for instance, perhaps he is destined for life in the trailer. Au revoir Ribery; he and his team lasted about as long as he did in the ad. No bright lights for Italy's Cannavaro. Ronaldo didn't make his trade mark free kick to keep Portugal in, b-bye Howard and Donovan (sniff, sniff), Drogba and Ivory Coast couldn't get out of the first round....AND.....Wimbledon says goodbye to Federer. So...who's left? Brazil? Well the ad shows Ronaldinho with his ball handling magic...but- he's not there to help his team....maybe that spells doom for Brazil. Spain? Perhaps they'd better get Fabregas on the pitch more or they'll be going home too.

We'll have to wait until the Final to see if the jinx holds up....
