The world soccer governing body recently unveiled the 2010 World Cup official ball, and it's more than just a commemorative logo that set this sphere apart.
The Jabulani ball (Jabulani means "to celebrate" in isiZulu) was presented in South Africa earlier this month. Adidas says it's the roundest and most accurate soccer ball ever made, beating out the Teamgeist ball from 2006.
Check out a scientific explanation here.
Imagine Major League Baseball building a new ball from scratch for every World Series. It's kind of like that. {#}
