Product Information

The covering of the ball is made of six polyurethane panels, which are thermally bonded together. This covering is important to protect the ball, and to prevent it from absorbing too much water – the water absorption of the ball has been improved from the World Cup ball of two years ago, which had a water absorption of just 0.2%. This makes the ball much lighter than the leather-coated balls used in the past. Some balls may also have a polyurethane foam layer underneath the covering. Five teams secured their first qualification to a UEFA European Championship final tournament: Albania, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia and Wales.

Ronaldo's reputation is not that of a selfless personality who puts team before himself - indeed he has often been accused of selfishness and petulance in dealing with his Portugal team-mates. Polyurethanes are built up from compounds called isocyantes and polyols. The middle parts of these molecules can be varied to give different polyurethanes with differing properties. Polyurethanes have a wide range of applications, including foam in seating, adhesives, synthetic fibres and even skateboard wheels.

Before the final match started, the stadium was invaded by Silver Y moths, which caused some irritation to the players, staff and coaches. The reason this occurred is because the workers at the stadium left the lights switched on the day before the match which attracted huge swaths of insects. The players and coaches of each team during the warm-up tried swatting the moths, and ground staff used brushes to clean moths from the walls, ground and other places. [141] [142] One moth was infamously captured flying on and around Cristiano Ronaldo's face when he was sitting on the pitch after being injured during the match.
