I've become a big fan of Forlan throughout this Cup. Like the way he plays..

Yeah he's good. I've watched him some in La Liga.

Also the US has a good chance to win the 2018 or 2022 bid.

I would definitely buy tickets years in advance for that

I was in Dick's yesterday. Official ball was $150. Meh, I ain't no pro. I went with the $15 ungrooved replica.

$150 is absurd.

$150 is absurd.

Aside from the texture, I have no idea what makes it so special. *shrug*

 

[bigrash]

Good to see guys like Forlan and David Villa step it up this World Cup.

 

[Anubis]

$150 is absurd.

KT

the "official WC balls" have always been between 150 and 200 and yes its stupid

The dutch passing looks off today. Not enough ball support most times.

 

[KeithTalent]

Lol, that was ugly.

i bought a replica from dicks too...it was too squishy felt like a kick ball. tried to trap the ball under my foot and ended up rolling my foot off the ball and spraining my ankle pretty badly.

unless your buying it for a collectors item I wouldn't buy it at all.

 

[KeithTalent]

Dutch really look like scoring here.

get a brine ncaa or an american challenge version of it(its their NCAA certified ball)

springy, but still has great touch to it, not like all the stupid raquetballs they pawn as soccer balls nowadays

used to be less then 100 but honestly is one of the best balls out there IMO

 

[Zargon]

used to be about 65! but that was the late 90's! I have a american challenge replica that was about 23 because we ordered 20 of them at once

 

[KeithTalent]

Ugh, that was weak.

Hmm, looked a bit offside too. Oh well.

KT
