This is for all the English fans mourning for their team that did not make the cut.The ad represents an England fan’s love affair with football by showing him taking romantic days out in the park and dinner for two – with a football…..! The song in the background is “I want to know what love is” by Foreigner.
However, the affair comes to a tragic end when the football gets squashed – it gets hit by a car.
A voiceover then cuts in to his sorrow and you will hear commentary from key moments during England’s disastrous Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, which ended with them being defeated by Croatia at Wembley in pouring rain.
The fan is left traumatised. The ad ends with the man walking through the streets in the rain, but then being cheered up by a colourful poster promoting the start of ITV Sport’s Euro 2008 coverage on June 7. “The best cure for a broken heart,” is the punchline.Enough description – take a look……and see if you feel better already.
