    Hi lukas16,

    I think it is shaped like a torpedo, to make it fly through the air with the least wind resistance. 🙂

    Hi lukas16,

    This is a question that is also asked by people in most other countries in the world, where ‘football’ refers to what in Australia is called ‘soccer’. They also wonder why Australians don’t just use a round ball like everybody else! 😀
