Anyone knows the official balls used before 2000? Photo please if availabe. Did they use Mitre or Nike balls?

Adidas introduced the "Starball" Finale for UEFA in 2000.
Grey star Finale 2000
Black star Finale 2003
Dark blue star Finale 2003/04

Will we see a new design on the official ball for UEFA Championship 2005? Any info about the coming official ball?

Thank you for reading.

Same ball, diferent colour, probably.

BTW, you honestly don't know how to do that dribble on your sig?? It's quite easy.

for the first sentence, i say, well.....duh.

for the second sentence, i say, showoff

that dribble on your sig is easy if you practise enough. you just need to be quick with the movement of your legs and must have a flexible ankle. if you want go to nike's website, go to downloads, go to ads then download a clip called ronaldinho. you can also get this for your screensaver.

Basically what it is is that it shows ronaldinho's move in extreme slow motion and close up so ne1 can do it. i can personally do it with both feet but if you don't do it fast enough you can either mess up or be too easy to defend against. Ronaldinho is the master.

thanx a lot. im going to go and get the video. My friends are gonna love it.

That's sick the way he does it in that video.

in the full commercial he does it normal but in the slow motion on it goes through the defenders legs..did any one notice that?

yeah i noticed that

nice but i saw a red one in australia on holiday

that shit is great. thanx

The official CL 2004/5 ball will be Adidas Finale, white with red stars, made using the same non-stitching technology as Roteiro. It's now available on soccer.com @ $130 retail price.

THe point of this is that as you said you can get it down with some practice... most people can do it somewhat after they practice... but noone can do it as well and effectlively as Ronnie... he drags it out so much and then suddenly with lightning speed, as if the ball was velcro'ed to his foot pulls it back in... it's just so breath taking... I can do it, but of course it's slower than how Ronnie does it...

i can do it pretty well but can't take it as far out as ronnie.
