Jabulani ball

[joeluke]

Why do these sports 'scientists' bother to create these new footballs?

It seems fairly obvious from the games so far that the balls are way too light. How many corners and free-kicks have been 'over hit' and ended up way past the area they were intended for? How many shots from free kicks have ended up over the bar? How many spectacular goals from long range shots have we seen?

Moral of the story? If it ain't broken don't fix it

we were told before it started to expect lots of goals from long range. they cant even hit the target from long range. How many goalkicks go through to the other keeper, its ridiculous

Bring back the proper balls made of leather. Take away their 'carpet slippers' and make the players wear proper boots, less injuries.

Go back to the times when men played the game.

Take away the armband that says 'respect', the players now have no respect for themselves, other players, their teams or their countries.
