Nike made a new World Cup ad and it is one of its best. The new spot was produced by Wieden+Kennedy and focuses on Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, Brazil's Neymar Jr. and England's Wayne Rooney, showing each steeling himself for a big match centered around the premise of "Risk Everything". The tagline of the ad: "Pressure shapes legends."

Nike did the same omission in its wildly popular "Write the Future" spot ahead of the 2010 World Cup. Check it out below:
