Does every team have a different colored football (soccer ball)?

No. Ball size and colours are regualted by the different governing bodies, FA, FIFA, UEFA, Premier League etc. It would be unfair if you used different balls against certain teams.\n\nImagine a green ball, no one could see it, that's why the use orange balls in the snow and white ones the rest of the time. Other colours would be hard to see against strips, at least white with a small ammount of black is always visible.

Of course there is. For example, in defense, a sweeper is where one player will try to clear the ball from his own field to the opponent's. \n\nAs for offense, one team can play an overlapping moves to add the number of attacking player when in the opponent's side.\n\nThere are so many offense and defensive moves, so to know better, one have to not only watch football matches, he/she also has to analyze the play.

Talking about "home" and "away" uniforms is kind of misleading nowadays, because the teams don't wear different uniforms when they play home and away; they have a main one, which is worn almost always, and then one or two others that can be used when the opposing team wears the same colors. So yours is a very interesting question, because Italy's main uniform is, like you said, the blue one, and it has become so important in the identity of italian sport that the italian athletes are called "azzurri" and the national teams are called "squadra azzurra" (blue team).\n\nIn fact, the answer is very simple: like in the Netherlands, the blue was chosen because it was the colour of the royal house. It happened in 1911, when Italy used to play in white. There was a football match against Hungary, who also played in white, and so the italians thought that it was their duty as hosts to wear a different uniform so that the teams wouldn't play in the same colours. They chose the blue colour because it was the colour of the royal house who was ruling at the time - the house of Savoia.

There are quite a few good ones, but here are my leading contenders:\n\nBrazil: This is a simple design, similar to previous world cups. It has been worn by some of the most iconic players in the history of the sport including Ronaldinho, Pele, Ronaldo, Romario, Carlos Alberto etc. (by Nike)\n\nIvory Coast: First time qualifiers. Their home orange jersey is very colourful and vibrant. The faint picture of an elephant finishes it beautifully. (by Puma)\n\nEcuador: Yellow, eye-catching and retro. Not the best team, definately, but not a bad jersey at all. (by marathon)\n\nGhana: Another Puma classic, similar to the style of Ivory Coast, but this time in a simple white colour. They could be the suprise packet of the World Cup, but if not, their jersey is here to stay.\n\nYour opinion will probably differ to mine, i have no fashion sense what-so-ever.\nFor pictures of the world cup jerseys, goto www.fifaworldcup.com and click on "official shop" to view them all (although the Ivory Coast one didn't work when I tried it this time, but it has before).\n\nFor a list of the best World Cup shirts of all time, goto http://www.worldcup365.com/shirtscompy/0,16726,8009,00.html

You're talking about one of the more controversial changes in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, actually, the teamgeist ball. Here's some background info on it from Adidas:\n\nAdidas' Teamgeist is the official match ball of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. \n\nThe adidas +Teamgeist combines tradition and innovation. The match ball is designed in white, black and gold, the colors of German football and the FIFA World Cup .\n\nAs a tribute to host Germany's greatest football moments and its traditional uniforms, the adidas design team returned to traditional black and white as the dominating colors for the FIFA World Cup Match Ball. The fine gold accents along the rounded propellers are inspired by the golden FIFA World Cup Trophy. The revolutionary new panel shape is designed to minimize corners and to create a more homogenous system in terms of performance and look. The radiant lines of the graphics surrounding the propeller shape symbolize movement and energy. Teamgeist combines everything needed to become a state-of-the-art product.\n\n"The FIFA World Cup final is the most important match in the history of sport. There really is no greater thing than to play in a World Cup final. That is why I think it is a fantastic idea to have a very special ball especially for this match," said Franz Beckenbauer President of the FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee:"Sure, the ball will still be round, no change there. But it will be a very special game and it is going to be played with a golden match ball that was especially designed for it. I think that's absolutely fantastic!"\n\nThe name "Teamgeist" is based on the single most decisive characteristic every team needs to have to lift the golden trophy: team spirit! At the world's biggest sporting event, where global football stars are born and individual strength, skill and power are celebrated on the world's biggest stage, it still comes down to what the individual is willing to give to the team and what the team is able to do for its individual stars.\n\nCool stuff, eh? It's an amazingly speedy and accurate ball, as has already been demonstrated by the first few games!\n\nIf you want to learn even more about the Teamgeist ball, check out this informational page at soccerballworld.com.\n\nMe? I'm off to watch another match and enjoy the best sporting event in the world!\n\nfrom http://www.soccerballworld.com/Teamgeist.htm\nThe adidas +Teamgeist™ Berlin, the Match Ball especially produced for the final game in Berlin on July 9th, was officially unveiled by the President of the Organizing Committee, Franz Beckenbauer at the Brandenburger Gate in Berlin. The golden adidas +Teamgeist™ Berlin will only be used in one game, the single most important game in global football, the FIFA World Cup™ final.´\n\n“The FIFA World Cup final is the most important match in the history of sport. There really is no greater thing than to play in a World Cup final. That is why I think it is a fantastic idea to have a very special ball especially for this match,” said Franz Beckenbauer President of the FIFA World Cup™ Organizing Committee: “Sure, the ball will still be round, no change there. But it will be a very special game and it is going to be played with a golden match ball that was especially designed for it. I think that's absolutely fantastic!” \n\nThis special Match Ball design is similar to the adidas +Teamgeist™ but executed in gold, the color of the FIFA World Cup™ trophy, with black and white details. Its name, “+Teamgeist Berlin”, is not only based on the single most decisive characteristic every team needs to have in order to lift the trophy, team spirit, but also on the German capital where the final will be played. The adidas Golden Ball is already a well-known element in the world of football, because it is the name of the official FIFA trophy awarded to the best player of the FIFA World Cup™ tourname

This probably is not true but....\n\nFootball was going to be used for a new game in which players carried the ball with their hands most of the time in America.  Thus soccer was the name given to the previous game known around the world as football.

For sports like football and basketball, it's critical that the two teams look different. Imagine the chaos if every football player wore a white jersey-- the quarterback would never know who to pass to, the linemen wouldn't know who to block, etc. That's why each team has to have at least two different jersey colors.\n\nIt's not that important for baseball, since it's pretty obvious who is on offense and who is on defense. It's just been baseball tradition that the road team wears some kind of gray uniform. That dates back to days when laundry facilities on the road were a little suspect, so teams wore gray unis to hide the dirt a little better.

Good question... anyones but the Germans, they're always the same aren't they?  \n\nAnd my add-on question to this one is.... Is there a website somewhere where we can check out the new kits of each team?

Look no further than Argyle. There's a team in England called Plymouth Argyle and think they are still the only 1 in the Football League that has Green for their home kit.

It will be white as we are the 'home' team for the match...\n\nie: It's England v Portugal not the other way around.\n\nIt's all to do with the way the groups are drawn and the table falls... \n\nEngland v Paraguay (home therefore white)\nEngland v Trinidad & Tobago (home therefore white)\nSweden v England (away therefore red)\nEngland v Ecuador (home therefore white)\n\nif we get to the Semi's and the Final we will wear Red as we'll be the 'away' teams...\n\nBrazil/France v England (away therefore red)\nGermany/italy v England (away therefore red)\n\nSo it could be a Germany in white and England in Red final... now where have I seen that before...?!?
