    The camera zooms out to "prove" it's not fake. The camera zooming out makes it so it's nothing like the Lebron commercial where the ball leaves the frame before going into the basket. In this case, every part of the juggling system (ball, Dinho, goal) is visible at all times... it only cuts away once but for 3 of the kicks off the crossbar, you can see the whole action. Also, the motion in the background (the three guys passing around on the other side of the field) help this case. They are visible throughout the entire video and never cut away from.

    It has been shown fairly conclusively that the ball hits close enough to the top of the bar that this point can not really be challenged. The only element that suggests it could be fake is the cut away after the first shot. Is it really that hard to believe that the best player in the world can do this?

    1. The commercial is fake.

    2. If Ronaldinho was that accurate while juggling a ball to be able to hit it to within quarter of an inch of where he wanted it to go (that's as accurate as he'd have to be to make it bounce back, or not go straight up/down) then he'd never shoot the ball over, to the left or to the right. He's simply not that good. If he was, he wouldn't have hit a ************ penalty yesterday, and at the VERY LEAST, all his freekicks would score and every penalty would go into the top corner and be absolutely unsaveable.

    3. Players walking in the shot doesn't mean its not edited. I'm not even a very good editor and without a chroma key I can place footage in another shot and smooth the edges out enough to make it look like its all one shot. And that's with Adobe Premiere Pro, which gets shitted on by FCP - which is in turn shitted upon by what movie makers and commerical makers use.

    Ronaldo's answer to Ronaldinho is fake as well.

    if it was real why didn't he aim to the upper right/left side of the post in the penalty kicked he missed yesterday against Benfica?

    or why doesn't he score every single time he has a free kick?

    Yeah, except you really are neglecting the keeper aspect of the game. Moretto played game of the century in both legs, stopping every single decent effort. The only goals he let in were absolutely unpredictable. It doesn't negate how accurate Ronaldinho really is. He can put the ball damn well near wherever he pleases...although it never means that the Keeper isnt going to stop it.

    no he cant. a keeper cannot get to a well struck ball from less than 25yds out if its in the top corner furthest from where he's standing. Even the best keepers get scored on... hell manchester united conceeded damn near 60 goals in one season in all competitions with Schmeichel in the goal. We all know that he didn't just let goals go in.

    If you're accurate to within a quarter of an inch, a small thing like a keeper won't stop you from scoring.

    If he was that accurate, he should be able to put a penalty right into the top corner (where it's unsaveable) every single time.

    Also, don't forget those poweraide commericials with McNabb, I think, throwing a football (American) about 150 yards into the stands.

    These kinds of commercials are faked all the time.

    I wonder if the scene where Gollum falls into the volcano was real.

    Seriously, Ronaldinho is a great player, but come on!

    McNabb..lol It was Vick. McNabb right handed and Vick is left handed. Take a closer look next time. jeez stick to soccer. Of course it was fake. They zoom in on the ball and by doing that you can do anything with it.

    I have no problem believing Ronaldinho can hit the crossbar more often than miss if he's juggling and under no pressure.

    I also don't see why Nike would sit around and wait for 4 picture perfect bounces in a row - assuming he could get 4 good-looking ones in a row. All they need is some footage of separate shots patched together.

    Ronaldinho is the best player in the world, no doubt but that ad is a fake no doubt about it too.

    Don't be surprised after i said Ronaldinho is the best player in the world being an Argentinian fan, because i do respect great players and appreciate them .

    Its fake and its obvious.

    Ronaldinho is the most skilled player currently but no one has 100% accuracy.

    trust me if it was real then he would've scored at least 70% of his free kicks.

    In your opinion anyways.

    Plus, if Nike has revealed to have faked a commercial, what do you expect?

    He said
    and thats what made me reply like that. Some of apparently fake, but not all. Ronaldinho is the best player in the world and certainly the most skillful by some way, so its not impossible for some of the commercials he does to be real .

    There is another one similar to this which features Ronaldo. That one isn't fake so why would they make this one fake?

    It's Ronaldinho, what else is there to say?
