There's just around one week left until the start of the FIFA World Cup Germany, and everyone's preparing, either for the actual football matches (the teams) or for watching and cheering for their favorite team (the viewers). And if you're starting to wonder what's football got to do with gadgets, the answer is the following - +Teamgeist (Team?s Spirit) from Adidas, the Official Matchball of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

The manufacturer, Adidas, says that +Teamgeist is by far the most accurate ball ever produced. Thus, its revolutionary panel shape eliminates surface irregularities to create a perfectly round ball for greater accuracy, and the panels are thermally bonded to create a smooth, seamless kicking surface.

Moreover, +Teamgeist sports a complete underglass print, which significantly decreases wear of colors and design, plus the new carcass retains shape better for improved accuracy and power. The ball has received the highest FIFA rating ever granted, and football fans who haven't seen it yet can relax, as they'll have the opportunity to see it in action starting with 8th of June.
