Doesn't Look Fantastic
Quite Light
The Adidas Roteiro is the official ball of Euro 2004, and is my opinion is quite average. Silver balls are quite nice but are nothing new, Nike released the much more stylish scorpion ball last year. It is supposed to appear like the globe I think because of Portugal's past of exploration, but it just appears a bit 'nothingy' rather than simple and stylish, or is that just me? It is also quite light compared to most other balls. Several of the pros at the tournament complained about it (except those paid huge sums of money by Adidas like David Beckham), and I would have to agree. However this does it make it nicer for heading. It's a bit pricey at the mo, because of the tournament but would be worth a buy in a year when they'll be filling the bargain buckets.
