Cool video: How to make a soccer ball

The World Cup kicks off (pun intended) in 170 short days, so soccer (or football to most folks) is on the brains of hooligans from Rio to Rotterdam. Sure, everyone knows the soccer superstars like Rooney, Ronaldinho and Torres, but the only star involved in every kick and slide tackle is the ball. Sorry, that sounds a bit cheesy, but, without the ball, soccer would just be a bunch of hot men running around pretending to fall every once in awhile. So, how is that famous ball created?

Check out this weirdly fascinating video of the production process for an official 2010 FIFA World Cup ball:

Get your soccer kicks and news fix.
