I wanted to get my best friend an offical World Cup ball, because he would LOVE it!
The only thing is, I wanted to get it off ebay, but they also have a lot of replicas.
My question:
How do I know if it's fake or not?

Replica: Has the oblong designs but instead of oblong patches around the ball, it's built like a normal soccer ball with pentagons and octogon patches.
Here's a link to some balls for sale at Amazon.com of all places Notice the design of the Teamgeist balls and how they have the pentagon/octogons surrounding the oblongs ( ... )

The oblongs are made up of two pentagons that are 'fused' into one as opposed to the actual oblongs seen on the official balls. :)

thank you so much for your comment, it really cleared up a lot for me.
I MIGHT just get him a replica because I think he wants to play with it and I don't think it's wise to get an offical ball to play around with.
and I'm pretty sure the price difference for both offical and replica are quite big, right?

theres also different prices for different fifa balls. There is the practice ball, the game ball, and then the final ball...different in respect to colour.
heres a few links to real balls..Ive played with a real fifa 2006 ball and its awesome, if you want to spend the money and its a really good friend lol its worth it. The ball flies in the air like no other, it just has a different feel to it due to the panels.
