I always love the bold claims that come with new footballs. Lads, it is just a ball.

Quite like the Russia World Cup ball - classic but with a modern twist.

If we're including Premier League, the one from our first season has to be up there with one of the best.



Loved a bit of Total90 back in the day.

I bought the Total 90 to kick around in the garden as I liked it so much

Lets hope this WC ball doesn't have any Jabulani's about it

Is it just the PL that have a fluorescent winter football or do other European leagues/tournaments do the same? Just hope that FIFA aren't left looking stupid again when it starts snowing in Qatar.

1978 Adidas Tango is the best World Cup football.

I mean you are unfortunately scientifically and factually incorrect here.

I know Russia 2018 was a hint to it, but I would love it if they brought back a modern version of this, which will happen at some point I guess as everything in the world is about retro these days

Historians will not look back at 2002-2022 as a great era for international tournament footballs

Actually quite like 2018, but it is the best of a bad bunch.

I’ve come to the conclusion that putting swirly colours and shapes onto balls doesn’t actually improve their flight or accuracy when they’re hit by a player.
