I'm getting bored of listening to people complain about the new ball and the way it moves etd. Question 1) Why do FIFA/adidas feel the need to make a newball for every world cup, and Question 2) Wouldn't a fair solution be that the ball is designed by the start of the 2014 qualifiers, and then used throughout the campaign, therefore giving every team an opportunity to get use to it in match situations before arriving at the WC and then moaning about it? The design could be changed for the actual tournament, as it is for the final, but at least this way players will be use to it come WC2014

Apparently it flies like a soccer special ball. i.e. waving back and forth in the air.

Another misjudged bounce resulted in a goal in the Algeria v Slovenia game. Would the altitude affect the bounce significantly? I think the game today was played at 5000+ above sea level.
Green was robbed by the rub of the green. |

I think the altitude has an effect on the ball. It would be pretty weird if it didn't as it has an effect on air, which is in the ball and also surrounds the ball

Terry added: "It's one of those things. Mistakes happen and we're in this together. We need to get behind Rob - he's got good friends here."
Bet Green rang his missus straight after Terry said this!
