We find that the Brazuca ball’s critical speed is smaller than that of the Jabulani ball, and the Brazuca ball’s super-critical drag coefficient is larger than that of the Jabulani ball. We also find that compared to the Jabulani ball, the Brazuca ball suffers less instability due to knuckle-ball effects. Using our drag data, we create numerically-determined ball trajectories and postulate that though power shots are too similar to notice flight differences, goal keepers are likely to notice differences between Jabulani and Brazuca ball trajectories for intermediate-speed ranges. This latter result may appear in the 2014 World Cup for goal keepers used to the flight of the ball used in the 2010 World Cup.

    2014 FIFA WORLD CUP @adidassoccer @brazuca #WORLDCUP forward forward No one knows soccer like adidas. The sport is in our DNA. It started in 1925 when the first pair of adidas soccer cleats were made in a small workshop in Herzogenaurach, Germany by adidas founder Adi Dassler. Adi had a vision to make athletes better with exceptionally engineered footwear tuned to the needs of a specific sport. Today, adidas relentlessly pursues Adi’s vision to constantly innovate to help athletes perform better. The FIFA World Cup is a global phenomenon. Every four years, history is made on the field by the greatest athletes on the planet. No other sporting event rivals the passion, energy, scale and drama of the World Cup. For more than 60 years, adidas has been center stage at the World Cup, enriching the world’s most popular sport with breakthrough innovations that change the game. One of our most important contributions to the World Cup legacy is the official FIFA World Cup match ball, designed and produced by adidas for every tournament since 1970. This year brazuca features a design and technology that is, again, revolutionizing the game and exciting fans. adidas is proud to sponsor more than 50 national teams around the world including top federations Spain, Argentina, Germany and Colombia. We’re honored to partner with more than 700 elite soccer players including one of the best players in the world Lionel Messi. And we look forward to watching Jozy Altidore, Omar Gonzalez and Graham Zusi make history with the U.S. men’s national team.

    Cedric Delmy 2.821/3.371: Structural Materials November 30, 2017 The Evolution of Material Selection of Soccer Equipment I. The Evolution of the Soccer Ball Material A. Background and Historical Context Throughout history, materials have been linked to technological progress and they have had a significant impact on human development. From the “Stone Age”, when we were carving stones, to today, where we create entirely new materials such as, synthetic plastics, composites and polymers, by manipulating their chemical structure [1]. Over the years, our usage of materials has varied due to cost, mechanical properties, and various externalities (social, environmental, political). All of the industries such as automotive, aerospace and even the sports industry, have undergone significant changes in material selection. The changes in the selection of materials in the sports industry, nicely illustrates the deep relation between technological progress and materials. This paper focuses on the evolution of the materials used in soccer equipment: gloves, shin guards, jerseys and the ball. It will go through how the different equipment materials impact the players’ performance, with an emphasis on the most important piece of equipment of the game: the ball. Football or soccer has been played since 1862, when the first standardized rules were published by the British [2]. Back then, the sport was created for pure leisure using whatever material was readily available. As a result, the first soccer balls were composed of an outer leather shell and a pig’s bladder that served as the air-containment unit [3]. Due to the fact that this method Page 1 of 10 was very rudimentary and inconsistent, in 1872, the English Football Association stated that the ball should be spherical with circumference of 27 to 28 inches, weight 13-15oz, which brought some codes of standard to the game [4].

Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft in Brasilien hat auch Deutschland das schwarz-weiße Leder wieder fest im Visier. Ziel ist es, die deutsche Elf zum vierten Weltmeistertitel zu feiern – egal ob im kleinen Rahmen zu Hause oder öffentlich beim Public Viewing. Welches Technik- und Fan- Equipment für ein gelungenes Fußball-Event dazugehört und welche Trends sich schon heute durchsetzen konnten, hat billiger.de (http://www.billiger.de/ ), Deutschlands bekanntestes Preisvergleichsportal, analysiert und ausgewertet. Vom 12. Juni bis 13. Juli 2014 ist in Deutschland der Ausnahmezustand fest eingeplant: Nachdem sich Deutschland während der WM 2006 im eigenen Land 31 Tage lang im Fußball-Rausch befand, ist die Begeisterung für das internationale Spektakel beim Großteil der Bevölkerung ungebrochen. Vor allem das starke Gemeinschaftsgefühl und fremde Menschen, die sich vor Freude in den Armen liegen, haben sich tief in das Gedächtnis eingebrannt und so werden auch aus Fußball-Banausen alle vier Jahre wieder echte Fans. billiger.de hat im Vorfeld der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2014 daher die beliebtesten Artikel aus Technik und Fan-Zubehör unter die Lupe genommen und zeigt, was auf einer gelungenen WM-Party nicht fehlen darf. Auch zu Hause: Auf die Technik kommt es an! Wer auf gesellige Fußball-Events im heimischen Wohnzimmer oder Garten zählt, sollte spätestens zum Eröffnungsspiel in der „Arena de São Paulo“ am 12. Juni 2014 um 22 Uhr deutscher Zeit das passende Equipment sein Eigen nennen. Für eine hochwertige Bildqualität sollte der Fernseher nicht nur über HD-Auflösung, sondern auch über eine Bildwiederholfrequenz von mindestens 100 Hertz verfügen.

Received 19 February 2014 Soccer balls are typically constructed from 32 pentagonal and hexagonal panels. Recently, however, newer balls named Cafusa, Teamgeist 2, and Jabulani were respectively produced from 32, 14, and 8 panels with Accepted shapes and designs dramatically different from those of conventional balls. The newest type of ball, named 15 April 2014 Brazuca, was produced from six panels and will be used in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. There have, however, been few studies on the aerodynamic properties of balls constructed from different numbers and Published shapes of panels. Hence, we used wind tunnel tests and a kick-robot to examine the relationship between the 29 May 2014 panel shape and orientation of modern soccer balls and their aerodynamic and flight characteristics. We observed a correlation between the wind tunnel test results and the actual ball trajectories, and also clarified how the panel characteristics affected the flight of the ball, which enabled prediction of the trajectory. Correspondence and requests for materials he uniqueness of the shape and design of a ball to a particular sport has meant that there were very little should be addressed to changes over time.

The first FIFA World cup held in the year 1930, 19 editions of WC has been played except this year. This year’s WC was 20th edition of the event. It began on 12 June with a group stage and concluded on 13 July with the championship match. It was the second time that Brazil has hosted the competition, the first being in 1950. Brazil was elected unchallenged as host nation in 2007 after the international football federation, FIFA, decreed that the tournament would be staged in South America for the first time since 1978 in Argentina, and the fifth time overall. The national teams of 31 countries advanced through qualification competitions that began in June 2011 to participate with the host nation Brazil in the final tournament. A total of 64 matches were played in 12 cities across Brazil in either new or redeveloped stadiums. For the first time at World Cup finals, match officials used goal-line technology, as well as vanishing foam for free kicks. Teams selected: Following qualification matches between June 2011 and November 2013, the following 32 teams – shown with their final pre-tournament FIFA World Rankings – qualified for the final tournament.
