I'm sure someone would want them, especially after some of the more historic matches. but who gets them?

Is there any use of storing used items?? Is it worth to invest money in maintaining some useless items? \nIf they start storing all the balls, bats, stumps of every match then think what will happen?? \n\nThen the player's shirt, pant, underwears etc all should be preserved. This is not possible so they dump all these as waste. \nSo no cenral body is there to maintian it for rememberence. \n\nOnly some player steal these balls or stumps after they play some memorable innings.

They should do it after the National Title Game. Or whenever the entire season is over with. That way there's much thought taken into consideration about who should be given such an honor.

Mexico!!!  But I guess if the US team wanted to they could buy them???!!!  I doubt their endorsement contracts pay what the U.S. ones do, even when they're for very well known companies like Adidas, etc.

Yep. look at Togo most of their country lives in poverty and they want more and more money. They even attempted to boycott their soccer game at Germany because of a pay dispute.\n\nSo although there might be sum who do it for the love of the game they are very scarce.

What sport and level are you talking about?  Often referees are given games by an assignor who will verify competence.

Some of them are really chosen for good-managing the matches, some are chosen for doing what FIFA just wanted.

yes they can.  It would make for one boring match, and the rowdy fans would start a riot.  But yes theoretically it is possible.

I think they need to get one first.  I don't think they could have too teams because either they would need two stadiums or the schedulers would have to make someone else at home every week.  I think one football team is enough for one city.

Well, I want Cannavaro to get it. I think he deserves it.

yeah. its like any team which wants it more on that day would probably win.fans ,strategies,hard work really count.unlike the premiership where if the top 4 clubs are involved u know the result that the bigger team wins.

on entering the athletes village each athlete is usually given a mascot(s) in their room with their equipment (uniforms) by their Country and Sports Council. On winning a  medal they'll get another presented on the podium. The could get more if after winning like track & field events they are thrown to them from the stadium.

yes. we want our country to participate also.\n\nThe more number of teams and groups, the more complicated the game. This increases our interest in the game.\n\nthats wat we think
