A New Ball the Keepers will Probably Like

It isn’t the roundest ball in history and it certainly is not the oldest, but residents of Mongui, Colombia claim that they have made the largest football on record. Measuring 1.9 meters tall (6 feet tall) with a circumference of nearly 6 meters (20 feet), the ball took 37 hours to stitch by hand and cost US$1,300 (€1,040) to make. The labor and costs will presumably be worth it if it is indeed recognized as a Guinness World Record or if it is used in a match and crushes an opposing player to death.
