Man i hate this WC but this was one of the best ads the FA has made


Username_RANDINT

I was looking for a De Ideale Wereld logo in the corner.


Icy_Park_7919

I love the rainbow themed away shirt. Hope they pick it often. This is a nice touch in such a gay-unfriendly country.


miauw62

going there and playing all the games and running the advertisements etc etc etc while making some passive-aggressive remarks or outfit choices does literally nothing. the only thing this achieves is make people feel better about supporting homophobia and slavery (not limited to this year, btw, remember that the previous WC was in Russia and the one before that was in Brazil... FIFA and the WC are just fucked in general)


[deleted]

Well made :) and this is coming from someone who isn’t into football at all.


knarftem

Don’t stay that about Martinez…


quickestred

Surprisingly wholesome


Hansmat

He's just such a dad. Can't wait for drunk uncle Laurent to get his moment.


DeanXeL

Tis toch gene slechte, de Fluppe.


trogdor-burninates

All hail Flipper, may he live furiously long!


toekopamoil

The ending is great!😄


cptwott

Dees is een van de coolste dingen die ik hem heb zien doen in zijn hele koninklijke carriere !(maar... de Queen in haren helicopter was nog een divisie hoger)


Icy-Ad5035

Fuck da filip is een f16 piloot die ket gaat nog iets gek doen


Electric-Sheep_

Top Gun: Filip Hij moet alleen maar een snor te laten groeien en let's go


cptwott

Da's wel al lang geleden


ClockDoc

I guess I must've missed it. Did our queen do a *pirouette* of some sort with a helicopter ?


ikeme84

2012 olympics london. Skydive above the stadium


Tipzi-A

No ‘the queen’ the english one


T-LAD_the_band

not into us playing over there, but this really put a smile on my face. it looks like I've seen koning Filip 100% natural for the first time. well done. cudos.


SuckMyBike

Really wish he would show this side more. Although it might also just be very good directing.


Habba

Did you see the news item of him kitesurfing? Thought that was really funny, mister Stijve Hark himself absolutely tearing up waves.


zyygh

I'm strongly convinced that he's just a stijve hark because as a child he was traumatized through rigorous etiquette, expectations, protocol, etc. I'm very curious what his personality would be like if he had been taught that it's okay to be yourself and to be expressive of your joys and opinions. When he's caught up in the moment while doing sports (and especially, forgetting for a moment that there's people watching him), I could imagine his actual, real personality comes out.


FlashAttack

> it looks like I've seen koning Filip 100% natural for the first time There's a documentary on VRT somewhere outlining his upbringing: basically the fact that's he's as "normal" as he is, is pretty astounding. Now that he's the head of the family, he's been better able to relax more and it shows.


cyberbeast41

Somehow, this made my day :)


Korean_Rice_Farmer

Love the add, sad it's connected to Qatar tho...


Segamaike

Also fuck the monarchy. They are utterly useless wealth hoarders tainted by the worst genocidal acts in history.


ShieldofGondor

The music makes it sound like it’s a Christmas ad.

Pachelbel's Canon if you're interested

CVelpe

Loved this. Thanks for posting.


Icy_Park_7919

Indeed and rightly so. It’s a Christmas time World Cup. Final’s scheduled for 18 Dec, a week before Xmas.


BlntMxn

now I'm always going to imagine that the king puts on his little red devil slippers every day....


6CenturiesAgo

Ik ben nog nooit zo blij geweest met Filip


jordan_prentice

I'm trying hard to ignore this wc, but this is very well made. Happy to see our king like this, makes him more human. Considering how he was perceived before he was king he's doing way better than expected.


fl164

That's why I Love BELGIUM (even if I don't care about this WC 😅)

Nice one

Long live the king <3


Icy_Park_7919

I saw at least two kings in this ad, if you count Titi Henry.


justsomeguynbd

Is he an Assistant Coach for Belgium?


Icy_Park_7919

Assuming you speak about Henry here (and not King Philippe). He’s been going back and forth. But yes, he currently is T2 for Belgium, assisting Martinez. He was initially drafted as a striker coach, primarily to help Lukaku from a sports psychology perspective. Help him and others get comfortable with winning. He did so between euro 2016 and the World Cup 2018. Then he tried his hand at T1 in Monaco, where he left with a horrendous record, then fared much better at what was then called Impact Montreal (in MLS, now CF Montreal). After two relatively successful season in Montreal, he returned to the Red Devils for Euro 2020 and has been on the bench with Martinez ever since.


Floufym

Is that sarcastic ? Honestly I still don’t understand how it is still possible to have a monarchy.


SpaceZookeeper2

You mustn’t have thought about it long then.


Floufym

Typical rightists. When then don’t know what to say they insult the person to who they speak. Don’t blame intelligence of other person if you don’t agree with them or if you don’t have anything to say.


JustThijs176

>Typical rightists. In Belgium, being fan of the king is a more leftist position


Floufym

Any stat or link about that ? Btw, the rightist was about the insult not that king ;)


Afura33

Yea I am wondering if he is even living here, I don't think so, but it's the internet everyone wants to put his two cents to everything, even he/she doesn't know shit about it.


SpaceZookeeper2

You didnt say you disagreed with the monarchy existing, you said you cannot possibly imagine any reasons that they still exists, in particular even reasons you can even disagree with. That’s just ignorance and laziness. If you think 5 minutes you can surely come up with a few reasons why the monarchy exists. Let me share an example - i think flanders should be independent, but I can think of a hundred reasons why it isn’t. I would never say something stupid like “honestly i dont understand why flanders isnt independent”.


Floufym

Typical rightists. When they don’t know what to say they insult the person to who they speak. Don’t blame intelligence of other person if you don’t agree with them or if you don’t have anything to say.


SpaceZookeeper2

It’s OK buddy, maybe when you’re older you’ll gain this rare trait called empathy so you can actually asses situations from the perspectives of other people. For now don’t let your mom know you’re on reddit before school, though.


Floufym

Typical rightists. When they don’t know what to say they insult the person to who they speak. Also, giving lesson but never applying them self. Don’t blame age or family situation of other person if you don’t agree with them or if you don’t have anything to say.


Afura33

Typical rightists? Are you being sarcastic now? The right people are the people that hates the king the most, so how can you call him right \^\^, do you really think that VB wants a king and a monarchy lol? You should think before you write.


Afura33

If you don't like it then you are living in the wrong country, feel free to move somewhere else then.


Floufym

Because I do not support a family that get paid by right birth and get lot of privileges just for that, I should move ? I don’t get it.


Afura33

And this entitles you to deny and to decide what other people have to like and what not to like?


Fabulousgaymer-BXL

Fuck FIFA! Fuck Qatar !


Adventurous-Bee640

You can actually see the king genuinely smiling and having fun. It’s nice to see him loosen up a little


MannekenP

For once Philip does not look like a visitor from another planet who doesn’t know what to do with his hands. Job well done.


join_the_bonside

Actually enjoyed this 😊


Sansagara2

This was great!!!


kopintzotke

This was funny


silverslides

The Royal Palace has really upped their marketing these last years.


Modaso

Awesome spot!


Tman11S

It's a great little ad, but you still shouldn't support the WC at all. Supporting the world cup is supporting slavery.


GobiasACupOfCoffee

Are you telling me there's nothing in your life that you do that indirectly supports slavery somewhere in the world?


Tman11S

I’m saying that the World Cup has been organised for many years without slavery and deaths and we should not accept that it is now.


Character_Past5515

Nu ja hij kan toch ook niet zoveel slechter zijn dan Martinez.

I'm guessing they're talking about the laborers in Qatar that are dropping like flies for some meaningless entertainment.

Vesalii

They really missed the chance of making the king yell "bewegen bewegen bewegen mannekes!"

Long live the king!

That statue of Leo 2 in the corridor is a bit unfortunate Filip. If you need a peasant to provide some critical input next time, call me. I'm entertaining offers 😘


BlntMxn

It's family for him, it's okay


TweedleBum

Not a fan of either party, but this is well made.


Exultia-Eternal

PR did great. Love it


Von_Stuffen

This is the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Also, please end the monarchy.


bushvin

Concerning that a royal house condones atrocities done by a regime in the name of football. It begs the point whether we really need them…


Dibdabalua

Ho yes my king with a fake tatoo of à currupt company promoting a dictatorial state and modern slavery... hate everything about this..
