Leo Messi ‘stars’ in god awful ad hawking a socks and bubbles game

Yes, you read that right. There is such a thing as a socks and bubbles game and Leo Messi has been roped into help sell it – not doubt for a bundle of cash – over in Australia.

The special socks you get with the game allow you to do keepy-uppies with bubbles because a football is obviously no where near as much fun.

Messi is far from the first to endorse some dodgy products, he follows pioneers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and his weird japanese facial exerciser contraption. Messi must have presumably been keen to keep ahead of his rival Cristiano Ronaldo on all possible fronts.

Consider the stakes raised Cristiano.
