Primitive Soccer Ball (Foot Ball) from a Bison Cecum

It's time for the World Cup 2026. This year's ball design is the result of generations of improvements in materials and craftsmanship but how would have a primitive ball been made in ancient times. In this video I use my primitive skills to make an air-filled leather ball and use it in a one-on-one soccer match against my brother. In some countries it's called soccer and in others it's called football. Let's go!

My favorite alternative to being barefoot are Luna Sandals. Enjoy 10% off the new LUNA Chanclas! https://lunasandals.com/CHADZUBER
