I kinda like it, but it also kinda makes me dizzy.
The France '98 ball was my favorite. For me it was the best to juggle and shoot with, and didn't really have all the crazy swerves that the goalkeepers complain about

I personally like the ball. The colors reflect the rich tradition of Brazil. The name is interesting.
