Football terminology 101: To 'park the bus' is a defensive strategy where a team drops back and defends their goal with all their players, making it difficult for the opposing team to create scoring opportunities. Translation: not exciting.
What is exciting, however, is this smashing new spot for Nike that celebrates the National Women’s Soccer League by, quite literally, demolishing the parked bus that stands in front of the goal.
Directed by Pulse Films' Jeff Tremaine, This is our beautiful game sees a huge screen beam images of footy stars Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson, Rose Lavelle and Alex Morgan as they seemingly wallop a wrecking ball into the unsuspecting vehicle.
Simple and effective, and utilising the talents of the Jackass alumni director, Wieden & Kennedy shoots and scores with this excellent power play.
