Play with this ball once a week. The real one. A small child could kick it about 300 metres.
It's lame. completely different to every other ball.!Comment

I had a Mitre 5 a side ball when I was a kid - after about five years of kicking it against a wall the leather had turned to suede. I loved that ball.Originally posted by Shaggy View PostWhatever happened to Mitre?

i get the impression that the ball is made for people who drive the ball and want dip and swerve. i played with the ball and when i went for power it came off so well. watching the games all the players trying to curve the ball as opposed to driving it are putting it over the bar, look at ronaldo last night too, he drives the ball and nearly scored from 30 out96 Never ForgottenComment

The league does. But there are barely any players from the Argie league playing at the WC. Most of the Argies are based in Spain, Italy or EnglandOriginally posted by red g View Post"When a man insults my country I insult him, by taking his woman" Tony Yeboah

That is exactly what I hate about it. When I play football, I want to curl the ****in thing. I've always done it and I want to continue to do it in the future.Originally posted by fernandinho View Post
Does everyone have to lick it like ****face ronaldo now.
It's not that extreme. I just hope thins type of ball doesn't become commonplace!Comment

Don't worry. FIFA, UEFA and all the country FA's will get Nike and Adidas and whoever else to develop different but equally **** balls.Originally posted by sambirken View Post
And it's all completely unnecessary..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

i dont think ball development is unnecessary. we wouldnt see half the goals we see now which are swerving/dipping/curving if it wasnt for ball advancements, the ball has just gone a bit too far this time. that can probably be placed in the hands of fifa who expect adidas to produce a new ball every world cup, soon enough the ball is gonna have rockets which come out of the ball when people shoot itOriginally posted by Neil Young View PostDon't worry.

I think the whinging about the ball is bs quite frankly. Plenty of teams and leagues used it, it is just a weak excuse.Comment

idk if that is the case the ball is just taking away from the players who tend to place the ball and try and focus on curve and placement more, while benefitting those who try to belt the ball.. its just that most players try placement/curve96 Never ForgottenComment

I didn't say it's always been unnecessary but all this new ball ****e that comes round every major championship and sponsorship deal is. It's marketing and has nothing to do with improving the game.Originally posted by fernandinho View Posti dont think ball development is unnecessary. we wouldnt see half the goals we see now which are swerving/dipping/curving if it wasnt for ball advancements, the ball has just gone a bit too far this time. that can probably be placed in the hands of fifa who expect adidas to produce a new ball every world cup, soon enough the ball is gonna have rockets which come out of the ball when people shoot it.

If it really is as different as it's cracked up to be, I also don't see how having a ball most teams haven't played with before makes for anything but a lottery for most and an unfair advantage for some..
