This short 2014 World Cup film starring England star Jack Wilshere is part of Nike's 'Risk Everything' campaign leading up to the World Cup in Brazil. Tagged 'Never Play It Safe,' the film is part of a trio of short films starring different members of the England team.
This 2014 World Cup film begins with Wilshere picking up the ball in midfield and taking on his opponents. Suddenly, an explosion occurs and the opponent players disappear as the pitch is transformed into a giant pinball machine.
Unfazed and undeterred, Wilshere uses his excellent passing skills to ping the ball around the field and in between the roadblocks before looping it up over a giant wall to himself and smashing the ball into goal.
