Wouldn’t happen in Canadian football either. (I understand the balls are slightly different.)
It wouldn’t happen if they were playing South Africa’s #1 sport, either. (See Invictus.)
Rugby, anyone!
Seems like they had issues with the ball in ‘06 as well. Why don’t they just use regulation professional soccer balls and stop trying to be fancy?
