Play like the European stars with the offical match ball replica of the Euro 2008. This adidas soccer ball is the latest in the +Teamgeist replica line, designed just like the one used at the European 2008 championships, the 2006 World Cup, and the 2008 Olympics.
If you are serious about taking your soccer to the next level, this adidas soccer ball is a must have.
I found a pretty cool youtube video of the +Teamgeist adidas soccer ball being made in the factory. Thought it was pretty cool to see the whole thing from start to finish.
I was checking out some Olympic news after watching the US v. Netherlands match yesterday morning, and I found this interesting blog over at the Orlando Sentinel.
It seems that one of the most popular items from this year’s Olympics is the official adidas soccer ball being used in the men’s and women’s soccer tournaments. It’s the same +Teamgeist adidas soccer ball that was developed by adidas for the 2006 World Cup, and was also used in the 2008 European championships.
This particular adidas soccer ball is a hot ticket on eBay, selling for well over the $130 retail price, despite the fact that it can easily be found online at lots of stores that sell adidas soccer balls.
This speaks highly of both the popularity of merchandise from the Olympic games, as well as the the now-standard top flight quality of the adidas soccer ball.
If you’ve spent any time at all around the game of soccer, there’s no doubt you’ve spent some time with an adidas soccer ball. The adidas soccer ball has been the official ball of the World Cup since 1970. With its famous markings that have become instantly recognizable to soccer fans, the adidas soccer ball has become synonymous with the highest quality available for soccer.
(I found a great article about the history of the adidas soccer ball here that is well worth the read.)
Even today, the adidas soccer ball continues to be widely used at the international level. The +Teamgeist, the newest adidas soccer ball, was the official ball of World Cup 2006, and is being featured at the 2008 Olympics, as well as the 2008 European championship. Countless professional leagues, including Major League Soccer in the United States, also use an adidas soccer ball as their official match ball.
Always the highest quality, the adidas soccer ball represents the best of the best.
