Kraiden ,

why does the 62 ball have "crack" written on it?

It doesn’t really explain ‘why’ 😅

Neither does this one 🤷‍♂️: http://soccerballscollection.com/BALL_CRACK_WORLD_CUP_CHILE_1962_CRACK_HISTORY.htm

So what one thinks of as the classic football/soccer ball, and indeed which is depicted as the ⚽️ emoji, is just the Mexico 1970 ball?

I found this on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigil_Nielsen_(footballer,_born_1918):

Eigil Nielsen is credited with creating the common 32-panel football design in 1962 using 20 hexagonal and 12 pentagonal patches. It quickly became popular when the Adidas Telstar in 1970 became the first football in the World Cup to use the design.

Something about that 1966 ball hits my brain different and I want one.
