They are still around, even making cricket balls. Their web site is http://www.mitre.com/  They also make witches hats :)\n\nIf your question has to do with why Mitre do not supply official balls to the FIFA world cup, etc, IMHO, the other manufacturers are paying a lot more money to be the official supplier, OR Mitre does not feel spending that amount of money is justified.\n\nEdit:"We are the offical ball supplier to the italian rugby federation (fir), who play with the max 460 Ball with g-spin™ technology."

The 1970 Football World Cup was held in Mexico, from May 31 to June 21. The decision was taken by FIFA in October 1964 in Tokyo, Japan beating to Argentina intentions to organize the event. Two years later was choose to celebrate the 1978 FIFA World Cup. It was won by Brazil, who beat Italy 4-1 in the final. This tournament saw the return of free-flowing, attacking play after the physical battles of 1962 and 1966, and is still considered by many fans to be the finest World Cup in history. Not a single red card was issued in the competition. The Brazilian team, led by Pelé (who was in his fourth and final World Cup), Jairzinho, Rivelino and Tostão, is often regarded as the greatest team ever.\n\nQualification\n\nThe main surprises were the absences in the final 16 of perennial South American contender Argentina, 1968 European Championship runners-up Yugoslavia, and World Cup 1966 third-place finisher Portugal. Holland was still to become a major football power--this would happen four years later--and France, mired in a decade-long slump, had been eliminated.\n\nThe qualification tournament for this World Cup was the cause of the brief Football War between Honduras and El Salvador.\n\nSummary\nThe format of the competition stayed the same as 1966: 16 teams qualified, divided into four groups of four playing each other once in a round-robin format. The top two teams in each group advanced to the quarter-finals.\n\n \nOfficial program of the World CupIn Group 1, host Mexico lived up to the expectations of an entire nation by advancing along with the Soviet Union, though the home side's 1-0 victory over Belgium on the last day resulted from a questionable penalty.\n\nGroup 2 saw Uruguay and defending European Champions Italy prevail over Sweden and surprise qualifier Israel after a series of dull, uninspired games. Italy would, however, show the true measure of its talent in the knock-out phase.\n\nThe first great moments of this memorable World Cup happened in Group 3, where two-time World Cup winner Brazil was pooled with World Champion England and solid European sides Czechoslovakia and Romania. In Brazil's opening match against Czechoslovakia, Pelé audaciously attempted to lob a shot over Czechoslovak goalkeeper Ivo Viktor from the halfway line, missing the goal by a whisker. The "Clash of the Champions" between Brazil and England lived up to all expectations, Brazil winning 1-0 after a high-quality game in which England goalkeeper Gordon Banks made arguably the greatest save ever from a Pelé header on the six-yard line.\n\nIn Group 4, first-time qualifier Peru and its attacking style created a sensation by beating established side Bulgaria 3-2 after trailing 0-2 at halftime. Peru eventually advanced along with 1966 runners-up West Germany.\n\nThe quarter-finals saw a transformed Italy prevail 4-1 over host Mexico after trailing 0-1. Brazil beat Peru 4-2 after an entertaining match between two equally attacking teams. Uruguay defeated a superior Soviet Union side after extra time and a refereeing error, as the linesman did not see that the ball was out of play for the cross that led to the winning goal. The last quarter-final, a rematch of the 1966 final between England and West Germany, was one of the great moments of World Cup history. After fifty minutes, England had a 2-0 lead and seemed to have West Germany firmly in its grasp. England coach Sir Alf Ramsey, sensing that victory was in hand, decided then to substitute playmaker Bobby Charlton 'to spare him for the rest of the tournament.' Without Charlton, England lost its ability to set its own pace on the game and could not contain the relentless German attacks. After Beckenbauer made it 2-1 with a fine shot, West Germany equalized eight minutes from time with an Uwe Seeler header and a fateful hesitation by second-choice goalkeeper Peter Bonetti, who stood in for the food-poisoned Gordon Banks. Momentum had irrevocably shifted and West Germa

You want a list?\n1. The 1970 FIFA World Cup passed without a single player being sent off\n2. Pelé returned after vowing never to play in another FIFA World Cup and Brazil won the Jules Rimet trophy outright with a near-perfect team including Clodoaldo, Gerson, Rivelino, Tostao, Jairzinho, Pelé and Carlos Alberto.\n3. Brazil won for the 3rd time and "kept" the Jules Rimet trophy\n4. Italy had beaten West Germany 4-3 in an astonishing semi-final, the only match in FIFA World Cup history to have produced five goals in extra time.\n5. Jairzinho becoming the only player to have scored in every match\n\nEnough?

With the Jules Rimet Cup now in the permanent possession of Brazil after their third World Cup™ triumph in Mexico City in 1970, FIFA commissioned a new trophy for the tenth World Cup™ in 1974. A total of 53 designs were submitted to FIFA by experts from seven countries, with the final choice being the work of Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga. \n\nHe described his creation thus: "The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory".\n\nThe current FIFA World Cup™ Trophy cannot be won outright, as the regulations state that it shall remain FIFA's own possession. The World Cup™ winners retain it until the next tournament and are awarded a replica, gold-plated rather than solid gold. \n\nThe new trophy is 36 cm high, made of solid 18-carat gold and weighs 4,970 grammes. The base contains two layers of semi-precious malachite and has room for 17 small plaques bearing the name of the winners - space enough for the World Champions up to the year 2038.

Some 100,000 fans packed into the Centenario Stadium for the final on 30 July to see Argentina throw away a 2-1 half-time lead as Uruguay ran out 4-2 winners. \n\nJules Rimet, the Fifa president and brains behind the World Cup, presented the trophy to winning captain Jose Nazassi and football's greatest tournament was born. \n\nAfter a pre-match row over which ball to use for the final, it is believed the Argentine ball was used in one half and the Uruguayan ball in the other. \n\nRumour has it that this is how the phrase "a game of two halves" evolved.
