Will WC 2014 Have a New Ball?

The MLS and some other leagues are already using it. Also, all of the adidas outfitted international teams have been using it for their home friendlies.

I haven't heard many complaints about it, though I haven't actively researched it either.

i wanna be world class enough to bitch about a ball that is as fricking nice as these world cup balls have been.

don't get me wrong, i hate the $20 sponge balls (ive always used that term, not sure if it's widespread) and some other cheap shite is noticeably horrible. once you are spending like $50 on a ball though, i haven't had any complaints.

It wasn't very clear. The Brine balls (#3 is what I am talking about) always felt different to me, though they were usually over-inflated. So, I can understand why players get pissy when balls are changed since even independently good balls can feel a lot different from each other. frick goalkeeper, "OMG, the ball moves" bitching, though.

Solid list. fricking loved one and two. I had a coach who had a bag of number. We jumped at the chance to use them whenever an opposing team supplied some shitty ball.
