Why Each World Cup Has A New Ball - Cheddar Explains

  • The World Cup match ball has come along way since the old ways of pig skins and human heads (no, really), and even today, the brainiacs at Adidas are coming up with all sorts of ways to improve ball design every time the FIFA World Cup comes around. In search of a truly perfect soccer ball, there’s another, entirely different reason we keep seeing a new ball every 4 years. But first we have to find out what it takes to make a “good” ball in the first place.
    Be sure to check out Dr. John Eric Goff's paper for way more detail on the subject!

    In fact, the Telstar was designed with TV broadcasts in mind. The Tel- in the name stands for television after all. In the 1970s most TV sets were black and white, and the unpainted brown leather balls were blended in with the green grass, therefore difficult to notice. That's why Adidas came up with a white, black-spotted ball that was easy to notice and follow on a black and white TV screen.

      The name Telstar was a reference to a satellite. I think the first TV satellite.
      And yes. 1970 was the first world cup to be broadcasted globally in its entirety and the Telstar colors were chosen to make it more visible on B&W TVs

    I bought the Teamgeist, the Jabulani and the Brazuca. Sadly the Teamgeist is leaking air and no longer usable. Annoying for a ball that costs over $100. With each world cup the balls got about $10 more expensive. So I stopped buying them.
    Those balls are no longer exactly the same as used in the world cup anyway, because the balls in the world cup have sensors for the goal line technology in them.

      The point of the World Cup has not been to actually see what team is better for a loooong time. FIFA is a big business making house and a shadow of its former self.
      We are talking about an organization that since the late 80s cares ONLY to make money. 1994 is the first time when really the fish started to rot with USA getting to host a World cup Tournament. This was the first time when Fifa started thinking about "expansion into new markets " instead of quality of organization. The temperatures at some stadiums, especialy in california in the middle of the summer were insane going into 40 degrees Celzius , the players and coaches complained and nothing was done about it.

    So it's technological and design advancements ... no it's aerodynamics ... no it's marketing. Of course that's what it ends up being. Doesn't have to be in any way better than the previous design, just has to be different to entice people to buy them. Really if it weren't for the marketing thing, they could use the same thing indefinitely no matter how good or bad it is, if there's a consistent standard players will be used to it (pros and cons and all), and play will be fair.

    In 2002 I saw a feature on the new (at the time) ball for the World Cup. They had a kicking machine to test it - making sure it flew true with the same kick. They then used the machine on one of the balls from the 70's and difference in flight patterns was quite significant. The old ball didn't fly nearly as far and the flight path was very erratic kick to kick.

    Next, why did all the goal-posts go from stantions to the big rectangular nets with suspended corners?

    • @calvinbaII
      @calvinbaII Рік тому

      Because ghost goals/goals not given. Sometimes shots that would hit the top corner (inside the net) would hit the stantion and bounce directly out making it appear like it hit the post rather than go in the net. Once they started using those box/square nets with cables holding up the corners the problem went away. It probably wasn't until the late 90s, early 2000s that it became universal in the top professional leagues but you'll still see those older goals at any local park, especially the posts with the ring/loop at the top because they are easiest for groundskeepers to lift or tie the mesh up quickly and mow the grass underneath then drop the nets back down.

    For me Adidas reinventing the ball again and again ruined football for me. Football used to be played by artists, now the game is all about speed and power. Knuckle balls aren’t about technique but luck and set pieces suck now.

      Puma and Nike do the same but yearly, adidas I would say do it every 4 years. The only maker I know that is constant is Select.
