I very much doubt it but I found a supposed world cup final ball on ebay (LINK)

would it be put back in the box if it had been used???????





i dont think so, mite have been a spur tho

i saw that yeah, there is a pic with it out of box and one with it in the box, and if it was a matchball, says summit to me there... hmmm

The seller does not say the ball (he is selling) was used in the final. AFAIK they used about 11-13 balls during the final, 1 on the pitch and the others with the ball boys/girls which get swaped for throw-ins, corners, goal kicks etc...

Looks VERY dodgy.

The gold panels look mishaped.

In my opinion, it looks like this ball is the real thing.

The box is also the same like other teamgeist match balls.

Panel configuration and look is also the same.

But you can never be 100% sure untill you've seen it for real.

i cant see anything wrong with it apart from having a box

its the real deal, just a unused final ball IMO

The box is the normal box in which the Teamgeists are delivered.
The balls are also pre-inflated.

So I'm still thinking it's the real thing

it is the authentic world cup ball which was made for commercial purposes but adidas made 150 balls with the match printing available commercially in germany and they sold out in a few minutes so doubt it will be one of the balls used in the final especially if its still in the box!!
