19 Sporty Soccer Ads

Although it's a second tier professional sport in North America, the rest of the world embraces soccer in a major way, and these soccer ads give viewers a look at the ways the game is marketed. Soccer (or football if you're in Europe) is one of the most popular sports in the world, largely due to the simple material needed to play the sport.

Even if you're not a super soccer fan, when the time comes for the Euro Cup or the World Cup it seems like you can't go anywhere without seeing a soccer commercial, not to mention the flurry of David Beckham ads that rotate through popular media.

One of the most creative soccer ads here shows Beckham kicking a ball against drums set up on a wall. Every ball he kicks creates a new sound, which together play the melody of Beethoven's Ode To Joy.
