The operator 1xBet has released a series of two animated videos in anticipation of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. These videos showcase the journey of the England and Brazil national teams, featuring current players and head coaches.
In the video about the Brazil national team, head coach Carlo Ancelotti appears in the guise of Morpheus from The Matrix. A billboard displaying the odds for Brazil's victory transforms into the German flag, referencing the infamous 1-7 defeat in the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup.
Meanwhile, the England team features Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, who is seen dozing off while hugging a photo of the World Cup trophy, playfully highlighting the long-standing dream of English fans to win the prestigious football tournament.
