World Cup final matchballs ready

11/07/2014 from:SNTV

Intro:

Adidas have customised the 20 matchballs which will be used for the 2014 World Cup final.

Script:

So we now know that it will be Germany and Argentina who will play in the World Cup final.

The matchball has been given its final touches by Adidas in Rio de Janeiro before it is taken to the Maracana where it will become part of history.

I say it, there are actually 20 matchballs being made for the game. All of them are slightly different to the balls used in the other matches, with flashes of green and gold on the outside.

Each 'Brazuca Final Rio' will also have the two teams, date and stadium name printed on it.

The only thing left to decide now is who will have their nation engraved in the trophy.

Germany are the favourites, they were so dominant in their 7-1 demolition of hosts Brazil and they've also had an extra day's rest than Argentina.

The balls will now be tested by FIFA before Messi and Muller try to create magic with them on Sunday.
