Jabulani sucks balls
Simply put the Jabulani is a soccer ball designed by Engish scientists, and manufactured by Adidas. FIFA the organizers of the World Cup made the Jabulani the official ball of the tournament. The problem is most players have publicly bashed the performance of this ball. The consensus seems to be that the ball does not spin correctly thus the ball is not likely to reach its intended destination. The ball seems to slow down and change direction much like a knuckle ball in baseball. Note to FIFA, we Americans already have a thousand reasons to hate you, phantom offsides calls, and disallowed goals ring a bell. Please go back to a traditional ball with seams on the outside of the ball. The World Cup is no time to experiment with the aero dynamics, what's next? Netless goals, super sticky field grass, GPS guided soccer balls!
