That is the definition of manufactured. However, they do get major credit in my book for the Good Shoes songs in the videos. One of those great English indie bands not many folks here know about.

I think the original is better. Kinda funny, but sometimes reality is funnier than satire. I think the original is better.

With the success of Seattle, the MLS is finally realizing that the only way to grow the sport and to grow fans is by getting passionate and educated soccer fans more involved rather then filling the stadium with soccer moms and dads. Expect more teams to be releasing marketing campaigns targeted at educated soccer fans, hopefully, the those campaigns won't be cheesy. Great idea could be a lot less cheesy.

I think the target market for these ads are people who like soccer already, but have not invested in FC Dallas yet. I also think it is designed to appeal to a young adult (i.e. college, twenty somethings) audience, rather than just kids or families. Bilingual, mixed media, new target audience, bold colors, flags, face paint, scarves - I like it! Great concept – and the videos are very cool (my fav is video 4).

Glad Houston Dynamo don't (have to) do stupid ads like this. I’m just shocked they were able to gather all of their supporters in one place at the same time for a photo shoot.
