That's the price of every "Official Match Ball" these days. On the plus side, here's the old Aerow ball discounted 50%  :

I live in New Jersey mate, I payed for it in US dollars, $130. So it should be around 90 euros.

I think that looks really nice, im loving that adidas are keeping those curved panels, like with the world cup 06 match ball and the champ's league ball. I just want to jump into the picture and kick it!
 Only real footballers could fight like this. |

I got the ball this morning, I kicked it around my living room, it is really nice, I think I like the my WC Teamgeist better though, just because it was the first ball with 14 panels

You have to be retarded to pay $130 for a football.

No need to be mean mate, it is a free world, i am not using your money to buy the ball, besides Official match balls are of superior quality and last much longer. I have had my WC Teamgeist for about 18 months now, I use it 3-4 times a week and it still feels and looks great, so overall i think an official match balls is a better investment than a replica.

Just my opinion, thats all. Manufacturers are just exploiting people with all these must have items. Its just a ball with different patterns on it. As long as its regulation weight, size and keeps its shape, thats all that matters and you don't need to spend that much.

It's like the same thing as if a musician buys a guitar. If he pays lots of money for it, nobody thinks it's stupid because that's his passion. If you buy an expensive ball than nobody should care unless they're some kind of jealous twat(not that you are one, ratherton).

The ball seems really nice and its similar to the World Cup 06' ball so im sure it performs well. Personally i would not buy a ball that expensive because i would be too afraid of popping it or damaging it but if someone really likes that ball then i dont see any problem with buying it.
