Also a long tradition that goes more than 40 years back, to the days where balls changed only every 4 years, from one WC to another, and not every 4 weeks.

Cool, didn't knew.

Balls really got ugly in the 2000's, ah?

 

[Völler]

I quite like the 2006 ball, but except that, yeah.

 

[Trezegol17]

WC1998 ball was the best. Think it was called Tricolore?

Yes. And it was the best IMO too. Maybe because it's nostalgic for me. Same goes for 2002. I kinda like it, but if such ball would used for the next WC, I'd hate it.

No doubt about it.

Agreed. Everything after that was utter shit. Apart from the 2006 one. that was medium shit

Marketing? Money? So people would have something to buy? Consumtion?

That would be an awesome group indeed.

England and Team USA out in the first round is a dream come true for connoisseurs of good football and haters of moaning, moping nations who feel that every defeat is the result of a conspiracy as opposed to their actual lack of talent and ability

When did this happen?

But absolutely fuck England though.

 

[Fint]

90's balls easily the best of the lot

I think I had one of the, 98 replicas too.

I would give so much to see that happen

Seriously. England I get. But when has the USA ever claimed that the World Cup is a conspiracy against their obvious global supremacy?

 

[Bianconero81]

Not a conspiracy per se when it comes to the US, but they do mope and moan (not as much as the English tho)

Anyway, Algeria needs to get fucked early as well. Egypt should've been there

If you want, we can make a bet. I say Belgium gets kicked out before US.

[Trequartista]

Imagine Giuseppe Rossi scoring and eliminating the USA

I was just reading through this thread and realized old folks hate the ball.

It looks amazing to me.
