World Cup 2014

well yeah...of course it's replica.
same with basketballs and footballs jerseys etc. it's all replica unless you want to pay out the ass for actual game balls or game jerseys etc.

With soccer balls there is a HUGE difference in the way a good ball and a cheap one behave... different bounce, different feel, different trajectory.
The Jabulani ball used 4 years ago was really odd, the trajectory was weird and unstable - probably worse than a $10 ball from Walmart... I actually played with one...

Amusing story.
