These balls should be pretty popular. Anyone has them? One is approved, the other one is inspected. I wonder if it's worth spending extra $$ on the one that's more expensive.

i got one of those before at a soccer camp...the ball was crap...hard to kick, terrible touch, and then 2 exploded in the heat (dallas mid-summer= 110 F)...so basicly i hated them

Those balls have the Tango pattern, but unless they are the official WC ball of '74, '78 or '82, then they are not "true" Tangos. Real WC Tangos were great balls for their time.

I've used the Pasedena and I really liked it. It has a kind of sticky surface, but is still pretty lively for a "classic" ball.

adidas tango's are the best balls ever, they look cool, don't swerve like a flyaway when you ping it and the touch is great providing you have the right one, i'd advise staying away from the ms version and would reccomend spending a bit more for the more expensive one, you will be able to tell the difference

I know they are not true Tango balls, but I am under the impression that these should be the top quality balls since they're FIFA certified.
