This short World Cup film starring rising England star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is part of Nike's 'Risk Everything' campaign leading up to the World Cup in Brazil. Tagged 'Fear Nothing,' the film is part of a trio of short films starring different members of the England team.
The short World Cup film begins with Oxlade-Chamberlain receiving the ball in midfield and taking on the Brazil players. Then all of a sudden, Brazil's players all disappear and massive chasms appear on the pitch. The pitch starts to disintegrate around Oxlade-Chamberlain, and tentacled monsters try their best to block his route to goal.
Unfazed, Oxlade-Chamberlain dribbles around the gaping chasms in the pitch and evades the monster's tentacles before firing an accurate low shot beyond the grasp of the tentacles and into the net.
