No Fui Yo – This is the commercial from Quilmes (Beer) for Argentina’s trip to the 2010 World Cup. Publicidad Quilmes – Argentina Mundial Sudafrica 2010. God talking about being a part of Argentina’s World Cup losses and not being a part of their wins. “Fui yo” y “no fui yo” – “It was me” and “It wasn’t me”. Sick.
