Fantasy football

An exciting Premiership season may have ended with a bit of an anti-climax, but that doesn't mean the whole nation isn't about to go World Cup -crazy as Our Brave Boys™ prepare to momentarily raise our hopes before crashing out in the first round.

This super commercial for Carlsberg speculates about a different kind of outcome - one that has England doing spectacularly well.

If that happened... where would you want to watch it? Down the pub, of course. And you'd want Jeff Stelling to magically provide an unfettered view of a big screen with Paddy McGuinness providing beer on tap (to be fair, beer is generally on tap in pubs but you know what we mean).

Best of all, you'd want someone with the calm authority of Ian Wright to resolve a terrible refereeing decision. His Spanish intervention via a headset is unquestionably the highlight of this beautifully-judged piece of fantasy football.
