Anyone record England v Mexico match on Mon? £20 bet on argument over half time Ad.

Hi all

I'm hoping somebody can help me win a £20 bet here...

I watched the England v Mexico match on Monday. During half time, I swear I saw an ad for Freeview HD featuring two guys heading a ball against a Green wall. My friend says I'm wrong. I've checked the HD website and there's no mention of it. Am I going mad? Could somebody help me?

Well.
A little googling tells us that Freeview have been doing HD adverts which start off with a 'green screen', and that one will be running during the World Cup.

Which tells us they were made by a digital media company called 18 feet and rising. You would expect these companies to feature current ads on their websites, but alas, theirs doesn't appear to be fully functional yet. It does however, give you a contact, who I'm sure would be glad to confirm or deny you of your money!

Just spotted the advert on a (non-sports) programme I saved last weekend.
It shows a young lad with his dad? playing football in front of a green screen.
A whale then leaps out of the sea and heads the ball.
The advert says 'you can now watch the World Cup in HD.
Buy a new Freeview HD set-top box from .....(lists retailers).
It feels good to Freeview HD.

Thanks you pair! I knew I wasn't going mad! I too tried some googling etc, but I couldn't find the same info as you. Thanks a lot, and if I'm being cheeky would it be possible for you to send me a clip of the ad if I need it?

Great help peeps.

Thanks xx
