The Ball run over by a car!

The Ball got involved in a street football session following Brazil’s World Cup victory over Crostia and was run over by a car. It was rushed to see a ball doctor today. After a few emergency operations The Ball has a new bladder, plenty of stitches and is ready to meet Romario tomorrow in Rio.

Rio soon

The Ball is going to Rio soon and the guys from Titia Hostel Rio de Janeiro in the Ladeira dos Trabajaras favela are readying the football matches with locals. The Spirit of Football all-star team was full of confidence after soundly defeating the barefoot prisoner team at Franco da Rocha Prison last week (yes we were playing in football shoes). However, we were brought crashing down to earth by some talented Futsal kids from Colégio São Luiz earlier this evening (thrashed) so we are anxiously recruiting talented and fair players for Rio. Anyone up for a match?
