well i like yours a lot better. Mine are too simplistic and they look more like rugby players.
I meant to make 11 but ran out of time and barely made it completing these as you can see by the 3 loop twists for hair. I tried to personalise one by making the boots gold and this particular player always wore gold coloured football boots. Oh sorry i didnt mention it was for my nephews football team end of season party. Anyway they gave them out with some of the prizes. I sat there most of the night making 17 footballs which we threw on the dance floor immediately after they handed  out the top prize, it was perfect timing if i dont say so myself.

Basically it's 12 golden pentagons which are twisted with 6 gold balloons (two pentagons per balloon in a figure of eight formation) and connected to form the globe. The the red criss-cross stars are added with a vaying amount of red 160's depending on quite how it works out.  Finally the big clear round is inflated inside.
