Mango Ball

I haven't captured its beauty ever so well but here's this year's FA Cup ball. Is is orange? Nope. Is it pink? It is not. This year's ball is mango.

Apparently a combination of cutting edge technology and eighties jazziness endow this year's ball with amazing properties which guarantee a skillful and thrilling game of football every time.

Well, Nike, it didn't work for Grimsby or Scunthorpe this afternoon, as a very tedious 0-0 draw was played out. You can call me a cynic if you like but I guarantee this conversation is imminent in my house:

Me: No, i don't have £15 to spare. You have 27 different footballs lying in the garden already.
Sporty Boy: Ah, but I haven't got a mango one.
