'Incredibly fast' Adidas' Tango12 unveiled as official football of 2012 UEFA European Championship

   Jun 4, 11:11 am

London, June 4 (ANI): England goalkeeper Joe Hart has admitted that the official Euro 2012 football, which is the Adidas Tango12, is once again incredibly fast, but he and his team are prepared to play with it.

"They are really quick with movement but we've come across them before. The first type of Jabulanis took everyone by surprise but footballs change and you have to adjust as a keeper," The Sun quoted Hart, as saying.

According to UEFA.com, Tango 12, which will be the fourth incarnation of the iconic Tango ball and the 11th official adidas EURO ball, is reportedly designed to be easier to dribble and control than its predecessor the Adidas Jabulani, which was used during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

The ball features a modern interpretation of the classic design, including a colored outline inspired by the flags of the two host nations. (ANI)
