In these few hours between the transfer window closing and the Euro qualifying kickoffs, I have time for a puff piece.
And I may be alone in this obsession, but I love the footballs.
Sitting across the room, proudly displayed on the upper shelf is a replica adidas World Cup soccer ball. It is beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that I have yet to take it out for a game of keepy-up.
My silver and red England World Cup 2006 adidas ball is still on that duty, although it is starting to show the wear of being left to the elements all summer.
I can’t resist buying them all. Pictured below is the official adidas match ball from World Cup 94 USA. Lest you think this is a new development.
As I purchased the Germany 2006, I said to my wife, “what about the gold ball from the World Cup Final?” And then just the other day, I saw you can pre-order them online.
I honestly don’t know if I’ll be able to play keepy-up with that wonderful reminder of this year’s fabulous tournament.
More about my sickenss later. But for now, here’s where you can get them as well as those promised pictures.
