Trust me I know about footballs, and this is not a football you want to buy. The Roteiro replica ( or replique as it known on the ball) is a poor quality ball. The ball is perfectly shaped and is as round as they come but thats where the good points end. Everything else is terrible most significantly its weight, its too heavy a ball to play with and dangerous for volleys and shots. The bounce is affected by its weight and material, it doesn't bounce enough. As for David Beckham endorsing the ball all I can say is that he works for Adiddas and is bound to give it praise. Euro 2004 commentators have highlighted that the official ball is like a beachball, well the replica's like a dead weight. Alternatively the new nike total 90 balls are the way to go. The one seen in the ole advert can be brought for £7.99 while the aerow costs £49. The £7.99 swift is tremendous and in my opinion should be worth atleast £25. All in all avoid this ball
