I know this is normal but I was disappointed to receive this deflated balloon for the simple reason that I did not inflator, no bicycle pump let alone compressor. Which he had to wait two weeks before going to the papi "tinker-all" to enjoy it. And then: we were not disappointed. We certainly found that out tiles, the ball is not perfectly round (default due to some stitching too raised) but honestly: who plays football in his living room? For the price, there's really nothing wrong. If you want a really perfect ball, there must be a minimum of twice ... then saw here, they end up on the sand, on bitumen or at the neighbor ... there's no picture! We are satisfied!
