The [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scary-good) "The Future has Been Written" ad above celebrates [Spain's World Cup victory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fifa-world-cup26). Three players are caught reading the newspaper, which reads "Gracias Iniesta."

Iniesta, Fàbregas and Piqué are hanging out in a cafe smiling about their win. The key players obviously have reason to celebrate, and the men look happy with their chance to gloat! The Nike "The Future has Been Written" video shows how the future has been written -- for now.
