Italy goalkeepers Gianluigi Buffon and Marco Amelia are not particularly happy with the ball that will be used during this summer’s European Championships.

The ball, dubbed the Adidas Europass, has been giving the two keepers serious difficulties.

Livorno goalie Amelia accused the ball of being too heavy, while Juventus star Buffon tries to stay positive:

“Maybe we just have to get used to it. But it won’t matter, I’ll get the ball anyway.”

Italy begin their Euro 2008 campaign against the Netherlands on June 9th.
