The Nike World Cup commercial 2022 is an instant classic. The full version — clocking nearly four and a half minutes — has it all: past and present versions of Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the "SIU!" together, multiple past versions of "O Fenômeno" Ronaldo getting after it, Kylian Mbappé introducing 2006 Ronaldinho to the low wall, Alex Morgan sipping tea, Edgar Davids just being Edgar Davids and so much more.
The film is part of Nike FC's Footballverse, which has its own snazzy website to explore.

People always try to predict the favorites and the winners of tournaments, but we’re switching it up and trying to guess which teams will crash and burn at the 2022 World Cup. The worst World Cup teams show up, mess up and go home after three games.
México jugará este miércoles frente a Suecia su último amistoso antes de la Copa del Mundo. El duelo servirá para afinar los últimos detalles tácticos en la pizarra de Gerardo Martino, pero también para ver en qué condiciones se encuentra Raúl Jiménez de cara al torneo.
El delantero de Wolverhampton fue nombrado en la lista final del Tri para Catar pese a que no juega desde el mes de agosto debido a una pubalgia. El jugador, de hecho, no está totalmente recuperado de la lesión y muchos se preguntan si la decisión de convocarlo fue un error de Martino.
Después de conocerse el nombre de los 26 seleccionados mexicanos que estarán en el Mundial de Catar faltaba por saber el número que cada uno llevará en la espalda durante el torneo.
Y bueno, el misterio se acabó.
Varios de los jugadores que estuvieron en Rusia 2018 mantendrán los mismos dorsales en esta Copa del Mundo. Guillermo Ochoa, por ejemplo, seguirá con el icónico 13 y lo mismo harán Raúl Jiménez (9), Héctor Moreno (15), Héctor Herrera (16), Andrés Guardado (18), Hirving Lozano (22) y Jesús Gallardo (23).
With the 2022 FIFA World Cup set to begin the commercials are beginning to appear. The title for best 2022 World Cup commercial is up for grabs and right now Lays is a leading candidate.

There are so many cameos in this ad it’s hard to keep track.
