World cup ball gift

Every boy dreams to become a football player, every man secretly believes he is not a bad one. Today, during the World Cup matches, even those indifferent keep an eye on what’s going on on TV.

So a good, or let’s call it a “kicking” football ball would a kind of bring the man closer to his football dreams, speaking psychology, or just excite his feelings enormously, plainly speaking.

So, which ball would be just on top? Within today’s world Cup frame, you can be sure it to be the “Jabulany” – a special adidas ball, which name is translated as “Giving joy to everyone”, that was chosen for the present Cup. This one is greatly worked out from inside and outside, produced on special technology for better aerodynamics, and it is full of symbolic meanings (11 colours for 11 team players, 11 official languages of the South Africa, 11 country communities… ) and makes lots of rumors around itself in numerous sport discussions.

In few words – a pleasure for feelings and vanity.

And if you want to go further and make your gift exceptional indeed, there’s a really outstanding idea – present to  your Man a collection of all the official World Cup balls, that is those used since 1970 (there was no special ball in earlier times). They are eleven professional balls, thoroughly chosen for their characteristics and all of them left their trace in history. Such a collection will make pride and honor of every single Man and moreover – those collection items are predisposing friends to common testing of them all in a backyard match!!

Well, meet them all:

1970′s ball – “Telstar”, used in Mexican World Championship – hand made leather ball composed of 32 pieces, 12 pentagonal and 20 hexagonal parts – was the roundes ball of those times. Its design determined football ball fashion for many following years. Its colours were a perfect match for black and white TV screens.

1978′s ball – “Tango Riverplate” for Argentina Cup. New classical design, ball seemed to be banded with 12 circles.

Then, a 1982 ball – “Tango Espana” for Spain, that was significantly improved in what concerned water resistance and water absorption in rainy weather.

After comes “Azteca” for Mexico, 1986, first official FIFA ball, made of synthetic materials that provided even better water resistance and longer run-out. It was covered with Aztec ornaments.

Now meet “Etrusco UNICO”, for Italy, 1990. This ball was the first official one to be filled with polyurethane foam inside, thanks to what the ball became quicker and entirely waterproof. It was decorated with heads of Etruscan lions, historical heritage of Italy.

In 1994 it was replaced

by “Questra” in the USA World Cup. It was competely new design, inspired by star technologies, Its energyreturinig inside layer put on completely new standards of ball obedience and softness.

What could be more modern and perfect, I ask myself? well, a new wonder appears in France in 1998 under the name of “Tricolore” – the first multicolor ball in World Cup history, symbolizing French flag and national symbol – rooster tail.  Its polyurethane cells were filled with gas, that provided better ball contact.

It is replaced in 2002 by “Fevernova” in China and Corea. First since 1978, its external design differs from the “Tango”. Colours remind of the far East symbolics, and three level textile layer promisses increased precision of the kick.

And finally the last but one – the “Teamgeist”, meaning “Teamspirit” for Germany Cup 2006. 32-pieces design became the story of the past. Its frame and pannels joined by the technology of termoglueing made surface more even and woterproveness even more waterproof, making kicks exact as never. Colours are traditional black and white, those of the German team, with golden egde for traditional FIFA colour.

The ball that came after is already familiar to you from the beginning of this post,

and I wish you successful hunting for this perfect gift suitable for any man walking on this planet.
