@RedBirdiii: The site loads fine for me.

Archimedes is correct about Football shape. There is a picture that describes it well on Wikipedia. This is a great tutorial for starters and I also recommend the video.

A football is a truncated icosahedron, one of the archimedian solids. It is also known in geometry as a BuckyBall or Football. It consists of 12 pentagons forming a dodecahedron which have then been extruded out with the gaps between filled with hexagons. So each pentagon is surrounded by 5 hexagons. So the tutorial model is correct.

real football doesn't look like that. each line should connect 2 pentagons together.
