When i was in primary school it was the Mitre football that we where playing with and for years after into secondary school.
Imo the better ball than whats on offer now, Hit that thing with the outside off the foot if you where good you could Gage the swerve same on the instep.
Come forward today we have footballs that are more akin to what i used to get fobbed off by when i went to the beach with my Gran :D spent more time trying to fish them damn things back than playing football.
Could tell a proper striker early back in the day by the kids that would attack the ball and not be afraid off it in the air. Now days they are playing with balloons -_-.
Most kids don't know how to head a football properly. So I dont reallu care. just let their head/skull develop properly first? I dunno how long it takes, i dont know scine/biology.
Bit of a shame for the kids aiming to become professionals though.
you cant spell pussy without the US.
So much for youth development. Imagine if Miroslav Klose grew up in America, he'd be a mediocre player at best...
It's been proven it can damage development of the mind at a young age.
I grew up playing football until I was in my late twenties.
I'm not saying it did me any harm, headed the ball all the time and they were much harder back then,lol.
Today, they are softer, football boots are more like trainers, and the men fall over like pansies.
Much has changed, watch a game from the 70's 80's they were men.
