Recently, Nike released the Nike Phantom GT Scorpion, which was based on the ad for “The Secret Tournament” from 2002. It has been on sale since November 2 and has been seen on the feet of a number of players.

It’s enough to look at the scorpion on this Nike Phantom GT to take you back 18 years.

It’s 2002, You’re watching this Nike ad for the seventh time in a row on your home computer, which is running an old version of Windows that no one remembers the name of. In it, Planet’s best players fight in a cage with technical moves that get crazier each time. In those days, they knew how to market! “Joga Bonito” will quickly come after this and all of it.

Now let’s go back to 2020. Four bright young players wearing the Nike Phantom GT, which was released as a tribute to this famous ad, were seen wearing them. There is Mason Greenwood, Phil Foden, Rodrygo Goes, and Mason Mountain. They were all born after 1998, so it’s not likely that they knew what “The Secret Touring” was before the couple came out. But seeing them walk around with this gem on their feet made us think about this. What if Nike was getting ready to hold the second version of its made-up tournament?

Just picture what the 2020 second version will be like. This is what NSS.mag did a few months ago: they switched eight teams of three players each with players from now.

We, on the other hand, let ourselves dream that teams would be built around bunkers. So, Mount, Foden, Greenwood, and Rodrygo will make up the Phantom team. If we want this dream to come true, we need to see the Nike Tiempo Legend 8 and the Nike Mercurial Vapor Scorpion. Also, Nike is thinking about this idea too. We did have the match ball, though.
