France Fun: Car-Diving

   

Thought you’d enjoy these Toyota videos, one for each France opponent in Group C. In each, the words are a version of, “I didn’t touch it, he took a dive, etc.”

First Italy.

Then the Romania one:

And the Netherlands:

    hahahah
    i love the italy one (i think you all kno why),
    the others r just the same thing tho so it gets boring

  • Aditya

    I like Netherlands one. The Ref isn’t even interested!

  • squiggy

    The Italy one is lame. Maybe they could have done one for Henry and Malouda’s diving?

    This prevailing perception is retarded. The French are no better than anyone when it comes to embellishments.

  • squiggy

    I can’t believe they actually made commercials based on that.

    Like I said. Lame and cheap humour.

  • Benjamin

    squiggy, dont ignore the truth, italians are cheap divers who resort to 10 man defense in the box to win games. here is proof:

    I agree with you Squiggy on the fact that French players are also guilty of faking at times. But it is also a fact that every country has players that do that. And I just accept it because over a period of time it just evens out.

  • set

    I doubt the point of the ad is to say Italy, Netherlands and Romania players are cheaters. The reaction of the guy, the whining and the gestures, is about as funny as the car rolling.

    Set, I agree with you. It’s just so typical of on-the-field behavior, and that’s true regardless of team.

    OT: So has Vieira been dropped, or has Flamini been sent back? And when is the deadline for that? News has totally slipped my radar.

  • Seb

    Inara, that decision will be made Monday afternoon, after Vieira has been examined by Les Bleus’ medical staff.

  • João

    It would have funnier if the Dutch commercial involved a caravan. :p

  • Pride of Lyon

    The Italy one is wicked, he doesn’t even touch the car, and the car just waits for the referee not to look to roll.
    I guess similar adverts could be made in Italy about France, so I don’t mind those adverts.

  • squiggy

    Well said Set and Aditya.

  • sandrahn

    LOL!! These are great. I love the French guy himself, his whole reaction and manner is funny.
