Just 10 more days, and then the long awaited World Championship of soccer is beginning. And of course the commercials keep on coming. This one is for an Argentinean television station. On paper Argentina has one of the best soccer teams in the world, hopefully their trainer will manage the team in the right way. Who do you think will win this championship? I would put my money on Spain. If we have to believe this spot it will be Argentina. Well, we will just have to wait until half of July to know the truth.
