It's very simple. Sports balls have been improved constantly since the early 20th century when they used balls made of genuine leather and were heavy and not balanced as a result. This reached a peak in the 90s. The Adidas Tango and its many variants (mostly superficial) was the best football ever created, just like a basketball can't be improved past a certain point. That ball had "give" (it would bend slightly when you kicked it). This new ball stays round, so its nearly impossible to control
The scientists who designed this for adidas spent all their time indoors with mechanical kickers (not players), focusing on maximum velocity/trajectory. Sadly they have never actually played the game. a HUGE part of football is bending the ball. But this thing is like a golfball, instead of a tennis ball. This had a huge consequence in the world cup. Players not only shot horribly, but they couldn't complete an overhead pass (to the striker). Now Lev Yashin award = Adidas golden boot. $
xNeutrino27x if you haven't noticed the term "losers" is a worthless insult at best. It's a meaningless word. It leads to oversimplification. It's quite destructive.
But go ahead and live your live in that ridiculous perspective which elites brainwashed by Leo Strauss have been pushing for decades now. Who needs free thought when you can be a political hack/complete fucking tool
That's not the problem.It's actually a really nice ball when it comes to passes (short pass) and dribbling but when you cross the ball or shoot it from a long distance its unpredictable.I feel sorry for the goalkeepers out there in africa :(
The goal Ghana scored against Uraguay. That is the test. The ball barely had any spin, and if it did, it was in the opposite direction that the ball curved. Yes, I would say goalies can fault the ball.
those latvian guys arent the big shit and are rocking it with the ball, but major football players say this ball sucks. i believe in the latvian football players, im buying it.
@SebDice I just bought one and I'm waiting for it now, but i have read the only people really complaining are the people in the world cup because they need something to fall back on why they messed up. In leagues using it all over the world there has been mainly positive feedback.
small passing and little taps like this is not the issue...its when you cross the ball long range strikes and long ball switches of play...the team who plays on the ground will win the world cup, ARGENTINA
i know the ball might be a little weird, but goalies cant use the ball as an excuse for losing a game. the ball is not a game changer, it is the way you play
I want this ball really bad but I don't know the Facts bout it..can some one please tell me the pros and cons about it..and is it worth the money? Please help!
Jabulani has aerodynamics flaws from irregular distribution of furrows on the sphere surface impairing erratic effect on fast forward spinning deceiving players and goalkeepers used to common balls that bear smooth surface. Elson Silva, PhD.
@lacokakid i didnt mean the 2002 world cup ball, i was talking bout those rock hard sunday league Mitres like the ones they had when the premierleague started - besides gimmie a break im only 20 lol!
