Adidas: Ballack - Target Practice

Your rating: None Average: 5.8 (15 votes)

Michael Ballack has a spot of target practice, trying out his new Predator boots. He takes aim at a hoop, which is held up by a trainer at Chelsea's Cobham training ground. However, instead of getting the ball through the hoop, he smacks it right into the trainer's family jewels - which is precisely where he was aiming it. The trainer is adidas client Mark Whitehead, who, unsuspectingly ends up taking one for the team. You've got balls Mark (in certain respects).

You have *got* to be kidding me.....

I dont know what's worse: the sheer stupidity of the ad or the army of people supposedly involved in this piece of throwaway trash.

Pathetic.

Barney's movie had heart, but "Football In The Groin" had a football in the groin.

This one and the Gerrard film are ok. The other two are just, well, below par. And that also goes for the execution on the lot of them.
