Who Was That Guy?

I know, I know, I’ve put this video up like three or four times already as it’s the freshest soccer commercial done to date, but trust me, this time it’s for the right reason.

Ever wonder who’s arms, feet, vomit and falling out teeth those are? I know I did.

I’ve been playing with him for about four months and I had no idea, but I know now and next week I’m going to have a sit down interview with him. The details that went into that commercial were incredible.

Guesses? I’ll throw in a Bumpy Pitch shirt for the first one who gets it right.

(No cheating – You know who you are!)

    hmm…van der Vaart?

    vinnie jones

  16. Posted by: dunny on Jul 11, 2008 at 2:14 pm

    Not van der Vart, not Vinnie.. If it was Vinnie I think he would have decked Materazzi and that would have been the end of that commercial.. but good guess considering it was Guy Ritchie directing..

    This is gonna be an odd post. But I did a bit of searching after a couple of your posts to figure out who you were after some of your bits about training and playing (no about us section that I could find), but I’m pretty sure I’ve got you pegged (so I think). So my guess is a fellow Crew player (one that’s recently joined). Sadly I don’t feel like investing that much time on a whim. So someone on the Crew roster and recent addition at that. How’s that for wild speculation.

    Oh and I checked out those bumpy pitch tees. Pretty sweet but at $48 a pop, yikes!

    Decent speculation, but not a crew player..

  19. Posted by: sharmon on Jul 11, 2008 at 2:29 pm

    Right after posting that I saw your latest post and realized I was wrong. Okay now I think know you and the team (in part thanks to a previous guess), just need to name the player. Matt Taylor is my guess.

    It’s me. And everyone else who watched the vid.

  21. Posted by: Pattrick on Jul 11, 2008 at 2:35 pm

    Robin Van Persie

  22. Posted by: RJFleming on Jul 11, 2008 at 2:45 pm

    I just love the speculation.

    And the directors cut of this.

    Man, such a good commercial.

    And damnit… don’t tease with the shirt….

  23. Posted by: RJFleming on Jul 11, 2008 at 2:51 pm

    I wanna say Ian did it.

  24. Posted by: ... on Jul 11, 2008 at 2:54 pm

    it was Rogandino!

  25. Posted by: dunny on Jul 11, 2008 at 2:58 pm

    Not Rogo.. not Ian.. and not Matty Taylor..

  26. Posted by: Richard on Jul 11, 2008 at 3:12 pm

    best guess so far is PShaw with Vincent Van Den Berg … digging into the reserve player profiles on the arsenal website lol… if no one gets it, he should get the shirt :P

    Gilbert Montoya?

  28. Posted by: Richard on Jul 11, 2008 at 3:23 pm

    André Ooijer

  29. Posted by: dunny on Jul 11, 2008 at 3:47 pm
