Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Thierry Henry. These 3 sports stars were the 3 key individuals signed on for the Gilette ads. Using the usual marketing trick of getting star names who were stars in their own sports category and drawing the shaving crowd to Gilette. Well, I guess these stars have taken a beating recently.
Henry famously stopping the ball with his hand, and using another touch of his hand to bring it into his stride before laying off the pass to another French mate to score the goal that sealed the World Cup spot for France. Now, Ireland will feel hard done by. Considering that they were the better team in the 2 legs. But I guess, if the referee didnt see it even though the whole world saw it, its still a goal. Zidane was not so fortunate when he headbutted Materazzi at the World Cup Final. Henry apologized after the game and went on saying that FIFA should have a replay and all. Haha. All bullshit. Pple will do anything to attain more success, pride, fame, medals and glory. Henry did just that. I say Henry just shut up and work on his shaving ads. But it makes u wonder abt how u can get away with anything on the field as long as the referee does not see it. Because the REF cant use video technology, well thats for football only. SO here are my list of things that a footballer can do..
Pull down the pants of another footballer when he is not looking.
Pee behind the goalpost when the ref is not looking.
Have a smoke when the ref is not looking.
Open up a drinks stall at the corner when the ref is not looking.
Give a call to the wife when the ref is not looking.
Have a full body massage when the ref is not looking.
I say u even pull down the ref shorts when he is looking the other way.
To deny another country a fair chance of progressing to the World Cup when the ref is not looking.
Apparently, Sepp Blatter says u cant change 124 years of football tradition. OK.
Football is a funny game.
