The people in this video make Lionel Messi look like a soccer rookie.
One of them is a young boy. Another is a woman who happens to be wearing massive heels. There’s even an elderly man on a motorized scooter. All of them are shown performing ridiculous tricks with a soccer ball on the streets of Rio de Janeiro.
We presume much of the trickery in this clip was accomplished using sly camera tactics, but even so, it makes for fine viewing.
It’s actually an ad for one of the FIFA World Cup’s official sponsors, McDonald’s. The clip was released to coincide with the start of the tournament in Brazil.
Even so, it’s nice to see some ordinary people in the spotlight for a change. Messi and Ronaldo will have their turn in a week.
According to The Daily Mail, the young boy in the clip (you know, the one passing his soccer ball into a tiny basket on a moving escalator) is a 10-year-old named Ciaran Duffy. He’s been dubbed “the Irish Messi.”
No pressure then, kid.
