DOHA (AFP) – The ball used in this year’s World Cup final between Italy and France has sold at auction for a staggering 2.4 million dollars. Signed by the Italian team which beat France on penalties, it was snapped up by Qatar’s emir-in-waiting Sheikh Mohamed bin Hamad al-Thani, who will display it at the ASPIRE Academy here during the Asian Games next month, the Asiad website said. “I was at the World Cup final myself so it has sentimental value for me. I have supported Italy since I was young,” he was quoted as saying by local media.

Nice. Although, I can think of many other things to spend 2.4 meeeelion dollars on
