Advantages: Excellent leather

Disadvantages: Pain for goalkeepers

These are my views on the excellent Adidas ball that was used at the World Cup in Portugal. There is not very much to write about when describing a football, however I will do my best to share my opinion on this ball.

Firstly my experience of this ball has been a positive one. The ball is made from an excellent leather which gains good leverage with a decent kick. This is important as some balls, no matter how hard they have been hit, will only travel a certain distance before descending.

When I first bought the ball, about 6 months ago, I only used to play with it on grass, as I didnt want to scuff the leather so that the patches wore and started to fall off. However for the past 2 month I have been playing with the ball on concrete regularly and the ball is still intact. This shows the the robustness of the ball and the quality of the leather it is made from.

I have read comments in the press saying that the goalkeepers have trouble with this football as it tends to move about quite a lot in the air when struck at them. I would agree with this - the ball does swerve around in mid air. This is brilliant when striking the ball, but a pain for goalkeepers.

Overall I would recommend this ball to anyone wanting to purchase a durable, well leathered football prices reasonably.
