FIFA 2010 OFFICIAL BALL FOR THE TOURNAMENT


This is the ball for the upcoming world war of football

fifa history

The 1930 FIFA World Cup was the inaugural edition of the world championship for international association football teams – the FIFA World Cup. It was played in Uruguay from 13 July to 30 July. Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) selected Uruguay as host nation as the country would be celebrating the centenary of its independence, and the Uruguay national football team had successfully retained their football title at the 1928 Summer Olympics. All matches were played in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo, the majority at the Estadio Centenario, which was built for the tournament.

The current format of the tournament involves 32 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month – this phase is often called the World Cup Finals. A qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, is used to determine which teams qualify for the tournament together with the host nation(s).

fifa 2010 Top Rated Player

1 – James Milner – England
In a team so full of premiership superstars, James Milner of Aston Villa's is one of the less familiar names. Having made his
England debut last year, the midfielder seems to have found some favour with his coach Fabio Capello, who in an interview in Spain named Milner as the most improved player over the past season.
2 – Juan – Brazil
30 year old
Brazil and Roma defender Juan avoids a lot of the headline grabbing antics of his team mates, but he is the foundation of the strong defensive backbone of the Brazilian team and us ready again to do the same.
3– Xavi – Spain
Like Iniesta, who could also easily belong on this list, Xavi never seems to get the same recognition as a lot of other players, despite being, some say, one of the best in the world.
