It’s safe to say that the countdown to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil is officially on.

Throughout the summer, adidas, the official soccer ball of the World Cup, gave fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite name for the match ball to be used during the tournament. The people have spoken--`Brazuca’ is the winner. As a slang term for native Brazilians, ‘Brazuca’ is the perfect term to celebrate the country’s rich culture and love for soccer.
