Even with David Beckham onboard, {he’s everywhere these days [EA 4/09/08] soccer isn’t nearly as popular stateside as it is everywhere else on earth.

The ad, by Wieden + Kennedy, Amsterdam, shows players pulling off jaw-dropping (and almost head-smashing) ball-handling tricks in Mexico City. The moves are so slick and perfectly executed that YouTube commenters have been asking, “Is it real?”
