Useless + 10

Let's talk commercials for a moment while I wait for Mexico-Iran to start. You've undoubtedly seen the Adidas + 10 ads where the two kids play a pick-up match with a bunch of stars. In one version, Jose selects Beckenbauer, and lo! a digitized version of Der Kaiser appears. In the other version, the other kid picks Michel Platini and the same thing happens.

Anyway, in the second version the other kid distinctly picks... Jermain Defoe. At first I thought I misheard, but when I saw it a second time, yeah it was definitely Jermain Defoe.

WTF? If you had the entire history of football from which to pick your squad, would you pick Jermain Defoe in your first 11? In your first 111? I'm so betting on Jose.
