What made this very special was that the Brazilian icon used only his right foot.

With the World Cup right around the corner, fans are getting excited about the tournament's kick-off. The competition for football's most coveted trophy, which will begin in less than two weeks, will be stiff due to the number of heavyweights ready to do battle.

One thing lovers of the beautiful game can anticipate is the music video of the World Cup anthem, despite the criticism it has received. Ahead of that release, the singers met up with the legendary Ronaldinho for a short promo video.

Both Will Smith and Nicky Jam met up with the Selecao icon in a basketball court and gave scoring through the hoop a shot. After a few laughable attempts by the two artists, the former Barcelona star netted with a spectacular right-footed chip. Watch in the clip below.

Ronaldinho will not participate in the World Cup, having retired from football at the beginning of this year, but will be supporting his nation in Russia. Brazil – placed in Group E alongside Switzerland, Costa Rica, and Serbia – is destined to make the knockout stage and is one of the favorites to lift the title.
