Beats by Dre released a five-minute-long World Cup commercial on Wednesday, entitled "The Game Before The Game."

The commercial, which is unapologetically over-the-top, begins with Neymar and his father talking on FaceTime, then bounces around the world to different Beats-wearing soccer stars preparing for matches, including Chicharito, Cesc Fabregas, Jozy Altidore, Luis Suarez, and Bacary Sagna, among many more.

It also features cameos from Lebron James, Serena Williams, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, and the 2010 World Cup oracle, Paul the Octopus.

With just one week until the start of the World Cup, many major brands have already released their own ads. Beats By Dre just one-upped everyone else.

It's as if the company's "Hear What You Wanna Hear" commercials met , "Run."

The commercial opens with sweeping shots of Brazilian favelas, then cuts to Neymar having a deep pre-game FaceTime with his dad.

It's actually Neymar Sr., too, not an actor.

There's also Chicharito, wearing headphones that match Mexico's away uniforms.

Here's Nicki Minaj, reading an article about Neymar:
