If you only watch one World Cup spot this year, watch this one... as it's basically all of them.

Aptly titled Rip The Script, Wieden+Kennedy Portland's bombastic new film for Nike sees pretty much every footballer, celeb, scenario, camera technique, editing trick and flight of fancy it's possible to imagine packed into its attention-span-busting six-minute duration.

While it's probably easier to list who isn't in the commercial - we think it's just Paul Chuckle and one of The Nolans - there are a handful of outstanding cameos: LISA looking bemused by the scenario, Channing Tatum as a befuddled Haaland double, and Eric Cantona referencing his kung-fu hijinks and tortured allegories in a single shot.

Helmed by Somesuch's Dan Streit, the film's chaotic energy is clearly the result of painstaking prep, creating a thrilling mish-mash that leaves the word excess in its wake.
