Premier League 09/10 ball...

...still spherical I'm afraid.



The La Liga will use a White/Black version and Serie A a White/Red.

Thank god the image says it's a ball.

No doubt they've made it even lighter so it'll bounce around like a ping pong ball and completely change direction in the slightest breeze.

I've just ordered one for my weekly 7-a-side. The cheapo one that is

Was it last years Nike ball that felt like kicking a brick? Where I played they had a few of them new, we used them for 5 minutes then went back to a ball that didn't hurt.

[Adrock]

They prolly had the cheaper variety. The proper match balls go for £70-£100

Its bloody crazy money, I tell thee.

[Matt]

Yeah, but I think they were £40 each still or something daft. They hurt so much!

[hudson]

There's hardly any difference in weight between replicas and the match version. I think it's all in the stitching and some innards.

Only football we used when I was training was one of those Futbol Mundial (?) skill balls. They?re so damn heavy that come saturday/sunday it feels like you?re knocking a balloon around.

Here's next season's match ball...

The Nike T90 Tracer

Looks like those plastic bits of road you played with as a kid.

[merf]

the need to invent new balls ceased after the mighty Adidas Tango

[Number45]

Too round.

[Supergoal]

Too round.

lol... Maybe they should use a big's bladder then like they used to.

[hudson]

Serie A's ball La Liga is red.
