Shit his pants during a world cup match.....thats got to be most embarrassing thing to ever happen to a football player during a match

He had a cameo on the new FCB/qatar airways ad. I wonder why. It's been so long he played for Barça, anyone knows if he has ties to qatar airways?

He was there because he played for us.

 

[Flavia]

So many other players played for Barça, and had more important roles. Barça isn't even the club more important on his career. I still don't understand why he was on the ad.

At least he has some kind of connection to Qatar through his job at Al Jazeera. A bit vague though.

 

[Hamzah]

He scored a hat trick in el clasico. Good enough for me. Also helped us win the Uefa Cup.

 

[Galning]

I don't have any problems with him being in the ad, I like it. It's still a weird decision though.

^This is the reason he was in the ad.

He probably helps them target the UK market. For non-UK people Lineker is very well known here he presents the biggest football highlights show in the country "match of the day."

 

[Hamzah]

He is also the face of walkers. Our nations favourite crisps.
