Are You All In? #allin or nothing
adidas Soccer is the official 2014 World Cup ™ sponsor.

Who’s the greatest soccer team on the planet? Who will bring the biggest prize in soccer back home to their native soil? It all comes down to two teams, one match and one ball.

Brazuca
The brazuca, which means ‘Brazilian’ and refers to the Brazilian way of life, is the most-tested adidas ball in history. It was, over a two-and-a-half-year period, tried out by over 600 of the world’s top superstar players or former players including Iker Casillas, Dani Alves, Lionel Messi, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Zinedine Zidane, and 30 teams in ten countries across three continents.

The adidas brazuca, the Official Match Ball for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™, was given a fittingly spectacular launch on December, 3rd. The iconic Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro provided a picturesque venue, while a breathtaking 3D light projection show wowed attendees including former Netherlands international Clarence Seedorf and Brazil legend Cafu.

This ball. At the center of Brazil 2014 is the Brazuca, the official matchball of the biggest sporting event on the planet, made from premium materials and rigorously tested to receive the highest FIFA ratings for feel, durability and flight.

• High-end materials in the cover, backing and bladder for perfect on-field performance
• Seamless surface for a more predictable trajectory, better touch and lower water uptake
• Highest FIFA rating: Ball passed FIFA tests on circumference, weight, rebound and water absorption
• 100% polyurethane
• Imported

The brazuca’s colors and ribbon design of the ball panels symbolize the traditional multi-colored wish bracelets worn in the country, in addition to reflecting the vibrancy and fun associated with football in the South American country. It has a new structural innovation, with a unique symmetry of six identical panels alongside a different surface structure will provide improved grip, touch, stability and aerodynamics on the pitch.

Advert Breakdown

I love how Messi finishes it off with his signature left footed blast into the right corner of the goal which kids all over the world emulate when they train, practice and play, in this case to the The Kinks – All Day and All of The Night.

It begins with an unboxing, followed by ball testing by machines, and manufacturing by machine and people, this sequence gets you going. The “I have six panels” and robotic kicking machine,  followed by the “now I have six eyes,” electronics installation of cameras and remote control is enticing. I’m going on a journey via London Heathrow to Brazil, from Brazil around the world, to see and share the beautiful game, is for real. The video ad ends with brazucam going inside a training bag for the next play stop.

I’m played all day and all of the night, everywhere. Love me or Lose me. Follow the journey on twitter @brazuca.
