Add on top that Samsung have a new range coming out called 'Beautiful Performance', and they have pretty girls playing keepy up.
So, yeah. It has relevence. | |

So they're wanting to sell TVs to people who are clued up on football? I don't think it's a particularly good marketing strategy.

It's why Sky spend billions buying up the rights to the English Premiership and Champions League, and why the BBC and ITV fight over the rights to the best games for the current European Championships.
I'm no marketing genius, mind. (Although Al, who's not increadibly vocal about his football realised that it was targeted to football fans, with the Euros that Samsung sponsor in mind, and put it in a sub-forum of football. So it must've worked a bit.) | |

The point I'm trying to make is that marketing a product which used in almost every household in the UK towards one specific group isn't necesarily the best idea.

There are football fans nationwide and most likely in the vast majority of UK households lives at least someone with a passing interest in the beautiful game.

Not only is she rank in the vid, but she clearly isn't actually doing the tricks.
Why not get one of the hotter ladies players who can actually do it?
