The other Football Yesterday I want to Sportmart …

Yesterday I want to Sportmart to buy a soccer ball. There was a whole wall of them, just like there is for footballs, basketballs, and baseballs. I imagine that if you put microphones in any sporting goods section the number one uttered phrase would be, ?I just want a ball.? They had two sizes, 4 and 5. I did not want a kiddy ball and the boxes said that 5 was the official size. That narrowed me down to half the wall. I had picked up one ball but was not sure if it was good or bad. A salesman walked up and I ask, ?If he knew anything about soccer balls?? I assumed him to be a typical American and have no idea. Instead he answered that he was a big fan of soccer, in an Irish accent. He pointed out the balls that he owned, and then ones that they did and did not have back home in Ireland. He also recommended a ball that is not sold in America. I went with a yellow Nike ball.
