Umbro reveal Saturday's match ball...
 |
When Pompey and Cardiff duke it out this weekend in the FA Cup Final at Wembley, they'll be playing with a brand new ball, Umbro's FA Cup DYNAMIS. Apparently, it's the "most technically advanced ball ever produced", with "unrivalled accuracy and power." Which is quite the boast from those boys at Umbro.

They say that it's been in development for the last 2 years and, good news for goalkeepers, its 20-panel configuration makes it faster than the more traditional 32-panel ball. So at least David James has an excuse when he bundles it into his net on Saturday.
Teijin micro fibre material also gives players a super soft touch and increased power through greater elasticity and stretch. The DYNAMIS is also the first football to use new Tri-Ply bladder technology, designed around the premise of increasing the power and accuracy of any strike of the ball. So unlike David James, Dave Nugent has no excuse...
