They seem so light now I guess it's impossible to judge them.
I've noticed the major tournements now see very few "screamers" or top quality goals from free kicks as well. Is this because they can't judge the ball themselves?

The prem balls always seem ok but the euro and world cup balls always seem to light weight maybe they feel the need to bring out a new ball for sales reasons.
Even players first touches seem poor again because they may be to light.

Wasn't their uproar about the balls used in the World Cup ?? My mate bought this years replica ball and it was like a beach ball goes anywhere, if the actual thing is anything like the replica then I guess that's why :lol:

Your right about the world cup. All sorts of random shots
I don't see any fuss this year, the football doesn't seem to flow though.
