adidas World Cup 2010 Repliqué Soccer Ball Review.
"Great Soccer Ball" 2010-06-07
By J. Carr (Michigan)
I got this ball to replace another Adidas soccer ball that I had for 3 years. That ball had lots of playing time from spring to fall each year. After a few pickup games, the guys feel this ball is just as great for play. I can tell it has the same quality make as the old one. It does scuff a bit, but I'm guessing that shouldn't last long once it is broken in. The World Cup design looks cool. I expect to get many years of play with this one.

i don't know much about soccer, but we just got this ball and so far it's been top notch.
"nice ball" 2010-04-09
By M. Reed (Missouri)
The ball plays nice, but scuffs very easily. Actually, it's a bit slick until it's scuffed, and then it plays better.
"Not as good as 2006" 2010-07-06
By mumto4boys (USA)
Ball is well made but of poor material. The quality of the material is cheaper than before and thus it scuffs easily.
Overall a good purchase. A little flavour of the World Cup for a reasonable price.
"Not round." 2010-08-03
By Matt Hurt
These items are stored and shipped half inflated, which creates problems such as the ones that leak air or the one that mine has that is not round. The ball has a definite wobble to it when I kick it. I tried to pump it up and leave it for a few days but it didn't help. Adidas guarantees stitching and shape for 2 years so not sure if they will fix it or if I will have to return to amazon.
Either buy a more expensive ball (they ship those to you fully inflated) or buy an inflated one from a local store, that way you can inspect the item (i.e. kick it around the store) before you buy it.
