#adidas_euro_2008_match_ball Yes it's tougher for the keepers, but it is also more challenging for the shooters to hit the target. "Turbulent movement" can easily take a ball into 'row X'. So yeah, keepers do need to 'get over it' as Erik says. But i still think the "Adidas Tango Pasadena" is the best ball of all time. It's a man's ball! Good healthy weight to it. Pumped hard and hit well, it can fly like a torpedo, punishing anything in its path :)

#adidas_euro_2008_match_ball As with every new ball introduced in International tournaments, goalkeepers will complain. This ball is already getting complaints that it flys like a beachball with a lot of turbulent movement. I say get over it. It's progress.

#adidas_euro_2008_match_ball I was checking this ball out in a local soccer shop, and was surprised to find that there is a slight snakeskin texture over the surface of the ball. In my brief handling of the ball I could tell the "grip" is amazing. Will be interesting to try this on the field to see if the textured finish actually enhances ball control.
