The EFL announce their new approved ball for the coming season and then Gibson tells them that DCFC have been playing with a slightly different ball for years now and that we should be deducted 1000 points, chucked out the league or just declared insolvent. It's all part of the plan I tell you.... we also change the goal sizes each half, petty we got it the wrong way round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) I'm hardly traditionalist or conservative, but a footballing romantic? Oh yes, very much so. Romantic in me would like ball to look like this: and it should be kicked with black boots looking like these Black 'n' white. Works a treat.

Does anyone remember the world cup 2010 ball and the hype around it? Do you remember the opening game of the World Cup? Germany beat Costa Rica with Frings scoring a long range goal where the ball moved all over the place. The replays of that kind of justified the hype around that ball for me RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replays of that kind of justified the hype around that ball for me I remember it turned out a bit of a weird one and clearly countries which had been using the ball in the domestic leagues were more comfortable with it. But mostly I remember it being megahyped up for what was still a football. But the sweet sweet sound on the vuvuzela was what made that world cup. Perhaps the EFL should make a version? r4derby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, the build up to that World Cup was dominated by the ball and vuvuzelas. And ended in heartache as Franks goal should have stood. What could have been!

Major respect to the player that managed to cross it high enough for you to get your nut on it, they were bloody brutal when they got wet.

Got lured into a pair of Puma SPA Kings by their unfeasibly long tongues but should never have stepped away from the Copas. I blame that decision for not making it as a pro. Well, it's either that or the fact I was complete poo... (All the gear, No idea) Dimmu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
