Costa Rica and Brazil are both tied at 5 World Cup victories. However, this is disputed due to Costa Rica's use of robots in 1958.
Those robots fetch quite a price on ebay these days. They also used balls made from live, mating hedgehogs until 1962.

Well actually, England '66 was the last world cup where coloured balls were used in normal conditions.

There is a highly regarded theory among art historians and symbologists that the World Cup is actually the Holy Grail, used at the Last Supper by Jesus to drink ten gallons of German lager.

Yes, today's balls are completely transparent. This is to make the game more challenging and to confuse spectators.

Actually, it is a colour. It is sometimes called an achromatic colour. It simply has little or no hue. Black is the absence of colour, or another achromatic colour.
