Those clever advert guys have added a subtle football twist to Honda’s classic ‘Power of Dreams’ advert. First (and only?) aired just before the England vs Sweden match on tuesday.

Now might also be a good time to moan about ITV’s poor coverage of the world cup games. I don’t mean the programming in general, but ITVs RIDICULOUSLY low bitrate on Freeview. I have recorded (digitally, so don’t blame me for these figures) all the England games on both ITV and BBC. The first England group game (from the BBC) weighed in at a rather nice 7.94GB for its 3hrs 40mins of coverage. The final England group game (from ITV) weighed in at 5.15GB for its 3hrs 20mins of coverage. That equates to 4.9MBit/s for the BBC game, and a mere 3.5MBit/s for the ITV game.
So, it’s quite clear why the games look so poor on ITV, not enough bits. Come on ITV, SORT IT OUT.

One of the best, if not the best commercial I`ve ever seen.
