When the game involves the World Cup, you don't play like it's any other ordinary job. You risk everything just like soccer players Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar in The Last Game as they compete against their evil clones to win the Coup du Monde.

The story follows the world's best soccer players after they have been put out of business. An evil team of clones have been playing for them on the field. Because they cannot play anymore, the sports stars have to lead a normal life. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden) spends his time signing copies of his autobiography and Wayne Rooney (England) gets his daily kicks as a fisherman.

Tired all of feeling beaten and defeated, Ronaldo (Portugal) puts the team back together for one last game. The forgotten footballers have to take on their clones, who are already in their prime. In a winner-takes-all match, the originals have to defeat the clones or they go back empty-handed.

According to Oregon Live, the animated short is the work of Ad agencies, Wieden+Kennedy of Portland and Passion of London. Nike produced the video in collaboration with the two agencies. The five-minute animated short was part of the #riskeverything campaign.

When you're watching the video, notice the camera is moving just as fast as the soccer ball. Camera techniques, such as slow-motion, and quick-cut editing tricks keeps the viewers' glued to the screen. The animation team definitely captures the soccer moves and tricks that sports fans would regularly see in a game.
