To the latter group: Calm down, and go patiently wait for your American football to return.

Those included a branded Google soccer ball, as well as a cute new Android \u201cBugdroid\u201d figurine decked out in the livery for the Chrome Dino Football Club. That little guy looked all sorts of cute, and while we\u2019d love to have him on our desks, there was one big problem: We had only spotted him for sale in the UK.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"bugdoid soccer back\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bugdoid-soccer-back.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bugdoid-soccer-back-150w-150h.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bugdoid-soccer-back-64w-64h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bugdoid-soccer-back-864w-864h.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bugdoid-soccer-back-380w-380h.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bugdoid-soccer-back-300w-300h.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bugdoid-soccer-back-675w-675h.jpg 675w\" alt=\"bugdoid soccer back\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bugdoid-soccer-back.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Well, it looks like Chrome Dino FC\u2019s biggest supporter finally caught a flight across the pond, as Google has now opened sales of the adorable little dude in the US (via 9to5Google).<\/p>\n<p>Better still, our Android friend is actually a better deal now, as while he was priced the equivalent of about $40 over in the UK, you can take him home for a mere $25 in the States.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been noticing quantities ticking down even as we write this, so if you\u2019re at all interested in owning just the perfect mash-up of soccer and Android fandoms, do not wait a moment longer \u2014 this one\u2019s going fast!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
