During the winter I get to play more soccer than I get to watch MLS. Who doesn’t – unless you are watching old matches. Anyway – this past Christmas I was lucky enough to get an Adidas Teamgeist II MLS Finals Match Ball. This ball is amazing!
The Teamgeist balls were developed by Adidas for the 2006 World Cup. The Teamgeist balls have 14 panels rather than the more standard 32 panels which are bonded together rather than stitched together. This is supposed to keep the ball rounder and more waterproof – making it perform more consistent than the older balls.
One thing I know for sure is that this is the nicest soccer ball I’ve ever owned. My first impression of the ball was that it was too light. There were some professionals that also voiced this criticism of the ball. Once I got the ball to my feet and was able to kick it around for a while it just felt good. I really had a feeling that the ball was more willing to do what I wanted it to do when it left my foot than older balls.
If you are looking for a new ball I highly recommend the Adidas Teamgeist II MLS Finals Match Ball. If you don’t want to spend quite that much money go look at other soccer balls.
Hopefully I’ll be able to pick up some new soccer shoes soon. Which ones should I get?
