Biggest tourney in the world and the genie at FIFA decide to tweak the f'ing ball.
Beauty.
An Aussie scientist believes it could leave goalies gasping for air.
Agence France-Presse reports that scientists at Loughborough University in Britain have designed a ball, Jabulani [yes, naming the ball is very, very, very gay], that is perfectly wrong.
I don't know if they have heard this: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Derek Leinweber of Adelaide University says that his research shows that the ball is faster than previous balls and its rough surface makes it more erratic.
This is not a surprise, the roughness thing, fact is that if you give a great baseball pitcher, from any era, a ball that is roughed up, he can make the ball sing God Bless America on the way to the plate.

So you are saying soccer is not broke? Have you ever yawned your way through a soccer match? I think they may want a bit more scoring, and making the net any larger is not practical.
