And those footballs were extremely heavy once they got wet and covered in mud. All these things had gone from the game, long before Ronaldo and Messi were even born.

I have been watching football for almost 50 years.
Even now you can find worst pitches then before and look at the that from final tournaments like Euro, World Cup, they was perfect.

About boots, when I was younger I had this old model and is not so hard to play with them but of course is better with this new model.

But now the quality of football is much better then before, there are a lot of skilled players comparing with years 1940-1980.
