I would buy this if I were confident that the dog wouldn't eat it

I like to have a world cup match ball in the house when the world cup is on. It gives me something to kick/throw/fondle before, during and after the games. Most games see me doing some combination of those three things from minute to minute.

This year's ball is pretty bitchin, and I think it's a bit cheaper than the one from 2006, coming it at about $135. That's a lot for a ball, but look at it. It's effing amazing.

I'm living in reduced circumstances right now so I probably won't buy one this year. Instead I'll just check the pressure in my match ball from 2006 and use that. I'll have to remind the dog that it isn't a wildly expensive chew toy.
