My only dislike is that I am yet to find an album which does not have creases on the pages towards the centre of the album.

Am I the only one with this problem?? I am yet to stick the stickers in as I want to wait until panini release the album on its own without the starter set so I can check the album before I buy it.

The PSS sticker is also a bit odd! what is it ?? their head office? if so who cares!

I do like the design though and will try and get my hands on one of the hard back versions once these become available.

I like the player stats being on the stickers.

I like the look of the album.

I like the fact there are lots of special stickers to collect in lots of different versions in lots of different countries.

I dislike the quality of the cover of the album (2010 was thicker!!)

I dislike 4 sticker teams (the cutting process means it is hard to get a perfect line up)

I dislike the creased pages inside many albums (Come on Panini, you are better than that!!)

Overall 8/10

The quality of the cover is very poor IMO Think in time it will crease/fold big-time. Worst since Italia 90. The 4 sticker team was also a problem in the Euro 2008 edition - trying to get them lined up was near impossible! Im trying not be too critical as i feel the look of the album is really good but do feel it could have been a whole lot better
