What happens to the balls after the match? Are they collectible, like baseballs..do the teams sign them? What value do they have?

Today's WC Geopolitical question:

If Argentina wins, does it means they are more, or less likely to invade the Falklands again?

In case I forget this weekend, just a great big "attaboy" for the super job you've done all during this WC..the daily threads..the many superb, and occasionally esoteric links..to broaden our knowledge and experience...and for patiently answering the many questions from those of us less knowledgeable....

Mega Kudos!!!

Soccer? Who gives a crap? I guess some folks like to keep up
with the primitive cultures in the world but I find soccer
and it’s fanatics to be way behind today’s modern culture.
It’s the sport of choice for the no paved roads, no indoor
plumbing, no electricity and total lack of common sense
crowd. I guess its one of those Obama wears no clothes
deals, where people believe that if you don’t worship the
“sport” you are a fool. The only thing I find interesting,
and only in a humorous way, is when those little squirrels
go full drama queen when they fake injuries.

My prediction is Germany 2-1 or 3-1. Argentina had a long hard match on Wednesday and Germany had an easy time of it on Tuesday. Fatigue will be a major factor at about the 60 minute mark.
