Football has gone to the dogs

Once again super adgrunt hlebarov has created a little collection of Badlandian ads. This time the common thread is football and dogs. (That's "soccer" to you north americans). I know football and beer goes together but so does football and dogs, it seems. The formula for this reads: dogs + soccer fan = animal cruelty

These first two are practically married - the ideas are so similar and you can see the punchline coming in both of them.

which is more or less exactly the same premise as this ad. Sans house burning.

My my! Did he just kick that poor widdle doggie? Well, he's not alone! See this Umbro ad.

And now this guy!

Now if anyone can explain the reason for this mysterious syncronicity I'd be much obliged.
