So what’s up with the Jabulani?

I’ve been hearing players complain about the World Cup’s official ball, Adidas’ Jabulani, for over a week. All of those complains, however, are coming from goalkeepers, who think the ball is too light and too fast. Forwards, on the other hand, tend to love the ball for the same reasons just mentioned.

So what is really the deal?

To be honest, and after testing the ball myself, I find it very different from other balls considered FIFA standard. To start, it is much lighter and not really round, which would give a kick more power then other balls. That is all ok with me but imagine a footballer, who has one thousand times more leg power then I do and goalkeepers, who have to deal with all that power.

So… is Adidas trying to make the game faster? Is FIFA? Is this a plot against Casillas and Julio Cesar? Is it a rotten ball? You decide, but let me know.

And the lucky person to take home a free World Cup Jabulani ball is…

Adidas is bringing back all balls used on World Cups since 1970. The commemorative set includes 10 balls and goes for $849.99. Each ball comes with its own ring stand commemorating the year in which it was used. Such a neat idea!
