So, yeah, the article description, or whatever, says it’s “inspired by the official MLS match ball”. Which, duh, that’s what a replica *is*, right? But what that *really* means is, you’re getting a pretty decent looking ball without having to, like, sell your car to afford it. I mean, the real deal sounds fancy, with its “seamless construction” and “FIFA Quality Pro” blah blah blah. Sounds impressive, sure, but do I *really* need all that to kick a ball around the park with my friends? Probably not.
And see, this is where I get a little confused. The first blurb talks about the “adidas MLS 25 Pro Ball” and celebrating “three decades” and “20 years”. Wait, what year *is* it supposed to be? Is it 2025? Is it now? Time travel? My brain hurts. But I guess the replica one…it celebrates the 30th anniversary. So, maybe the 25 one is a sneak peek from the future? Or maybe someone just messed up the copy. Happens, ya know? We’re all human…kinda.
Anyway, it’s “rated for match play” and has the FIFA stamp of approval. So, like, you could actually use it in a real game. Or, you know, just impress your buddies with your fancy-pants soccer ball. I’d probably just use it to practice my juggling (which, let’s be real, is terrible). But hey, maybe having a ball that looks this official will magically make me better. A guy can dream, right?
