Poolball combines pool, soccer, beer, awesomeness

What do pool, soccer and beer have in common? Poolball, duh.

Ok, it’s not obvious, but here’s hoping that Budweiser’s new ad campaign featuring grown men standing atop a huge custom pool table and kicking soccer balls into pockets makes its way into local bars.

Based on  the video below, it looks simple – two teams, large table, normal pool rules, normal sized colored soccer balls, no hands, and a constant flow of beer.

Unfortunately, poolball doesn’t actually exits beyond the realm of ad land. Budweiser teamed up with marketing company Ogilvy & Mather to promote the beer company’s annual soccer tournament, the “Bud Cup 6v6,” being held in southern California, Arizona, and Las Vegas.

But don’t fret all you would-be poolballers, there must be at least one crazy barkeeper in the area that will dedicate money and bar space in the name of such an arena.
