Mexican Pride Futbol: Mexico Flag & Coat of Arms Soccer Ball

A great decorative football for proud Mexicans and fans of its numerous national accomplishments in international soccer competition. Mexico has been one home to some of the world's best soccer players and teams, both past and present, so it's not surprising that it also has some of the world's best fans. This football is for those fans of the Mexico National Football Team AKA "Selección de fútbol de México." The Coat of Armour (Escudo Nacional de México) in the middle has been expanded to show its beautiful colours and rich detail. It is the newest rendering of the legendary image which serves as an important symbol of Mexican history and culture. It features a golden eagle holding a large rattlesnake between its beak and one of its claws, while the other claw is used to perch one-legged on a large prickly pear cactus. This iconic image is based on the legend of Tenochtitlan, which was the name of the city which is present day Mexico City.
