    Today the sport is known by a number of names throughout the English-speaking world, the most common being football and soccer. Although FIFA, the sport's world governing body, defines the sport they govern as Association football in their statutes

    It's like How Is Made from Discovery Channel :)
    Great pics. Thanks

    @ Anyone calling it soccer. It's football to the rest of the world, and you can bloody well call it that.

    On a side note, nice pics, at least the notoriously high prices are justified.

    I must apologize for my American associates who, like the ancient church who believed the Earth was the center of the universe, also believe the USA is the center of the world.
  • jimmeny Cricket · 2 years ago

    Really nice post!

    I think I will talk about it in my website too in the future! :-)
  • Sports Betting Man · 2 years ago
    I actually found that very interesting. You often forget how long it takes to make one ball, looks like it's well over an hour! great pics.

    @anyone not understanding a little sarcasm

    We know its called football most places, but like to make fun. The serious reactions from some of you are exactly what was expected and are laughable.
  • God · 2 years ago
    pentx - um, pretty sure the USA IS the center of the world, galaxy, universe, etc...
  • dsfjksd · 2 years ago
    Thats a soccer ball, not a football. ;)
  • tides · 2 years ago
    I don't understand the difference between soccer and football.. As per my understanding soccer and football are same..
  • Cristineatza · 2 years ago
    Marfa!U don't understand because u are stupid...FORTZA ROMANIA!!!:)
  • tides · 2 years ago
    Why don you elaborate the difference between the two...
  • Jason · 2 years ago
    For those of you overseas that don't get the American attempts at humor.

    In the US, Canada and a few other places in the world, we call FIFA-style football "Soccer."

    What we call football is:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football

    A game that is, strangely, played mostly with the hands. The Americans posting here fully understand that you call the sport played with the spherical ball "Football" and they are jokingly acting ignorant to get serious, indignant replies out of international readers. The seriousness in which you respond to these comments is the actual humor, not the actual name-swap. Just don't respond to those kinds of replies and you won't give them any satisfaction.

    In short, its called Soccer, so get it right or get off my planet you creepy foreigners! GO USA! GO USA!

    Silly Foreigners and their serious remarks.

    Interesting
  • TM · 2 years ago
    Yeah, try referring to football as football in the USA. You'll definitely get strange looks from people at bar as you're carted away by the Feds and handed a rifle with no ammo to fight on the front lines of a costly war.
  • mrBadak · 2 years ago
    wow nice pics... and yeah.. football soccer.. poh-tato potah-to...

  • debussy · 2 years ago
    at least the footballs aren't made using sweatshop labour
  • surfer · 2 years ago
    Huh, I did not know there was so much manual work in making a football :)
  • hemaworstje · 2 years ago
    now that was the top of the class line product ,well worth producing in house.high tech.

    As soon as the production is simpified the shit moves to Asia where it will be produced under inhumane conditions.

    How about the cheap ones childlabour in Asia? productioncamps in China?
    that would make it a post instead of an advertisement.
  • Alex@Net · 2 years ago

  • Al · 2 years ago
    A really interesting post (well, series of pictures actually :)

    I knew there was a lot of technology involving in the modern balls but didn't realise how they went about producing them. Facinating!
  • Gerorge Green · 2 years ago

  • clickbank · 1 year ago
    A Great ball is becoming very expensive
  • Football TV On PC · 1 year ago
    I agree with clickbank. It looks like high quality products have high prices. Except intangibles on internet due to the business models.

    Very intersting to see how everything is so precise
  • hattrick · 1 year ago
    exellent series of photographs. Just wonder how the likes of Beckham, Ronaldo, etc would have faired with the old leather ball back in the '50's and 60's. Wonder if they would be able to curve and dip them like today.
  • live soccer · 1 year ago
    Amazing how much work actually goes into making a soccer ball nowadays. You would wonder how much these companies are making from sales with so many needed across the world.
