This is my first post and I wanted to introduce you to the world of soccer balls. I know you must be thinking, I must be some crazy person with a sick fascination of soccer balls. Well, if you've guess that than you're abosolutely right! When you think soccer balls you're probably thinking a team of funny looking people, dressed in funny clothes, kicking a funny soccer ball around. However, there is actually a deep rooted history to the game of soccer and it most certainly begun with the creation of the soccer ball. In fact, they've traced Chinese history to the ancient game of "tsu chu", in which they dribbled animal-skin balls through gaps in a net which was wrapped between two poles. Sounds like a more barbaric form modern soccer balls, doesn't it?
You see, soccer is more than just a sport I have to referee every Sunday for my daugher. It's a historical activity that has managed to link groups and groups of people together thru a common past time. Hopefully I've managed to captivate you because there is plenty more soccer ball facts to come. I have a collection of over 200 soccer balls, 40+ years of knowledge in the game, and so much useless facts about soccer balls that you won't help but to come back to read! Stay tune, folks.
