  • Its funny forlan and a couple of strikers seem to have no problem using the ball.

  • THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!

  • using this for my science project, I love soccer

  • Adidas made perfect balls back in 2004 and maybe they still made great balls until 2010. Now Nike is starting to make modern and good balls.

  • @vika0194 I don't think so, in my opinion adidas footballs are having better technology now, nike ball are good, but not as good as adidas.

  • they should go back to classic black and white

  • лучше бы найк сделал мяч а не адидас

  • All new football balls wich are made from syntetic are to lightweight.So thay are nightmares for goalkeepers.

  • SHIT SHIT BALL

  • En México probaron la aerodinámica del balón y resulto inestable

  • I never did like the ball. It did feel wierd when I would kick it. I could never get a perfect shot.

  • @realmadridroxs74  okayyy

  • thumbs up if ur going to buys this today! after watching these videos :)

    Diameter ≤ 1.5% difference ≤ 1.0% difference

    Water absorption ≤ 10% weight increase ~ 0% weight increase

    Weight 420 - 445 g 440 ± 0.2 g

    Rebound test ≤ 10 cm ≤ 6 cm

    Loss of pressure ≤ 20% ≤ 10%

  • Adidas destrroyed the 2010 World Cup! The creators of the ball should be in jail for crimes against football! Boycott Adidas! Jabulani is the worst ball in the history of mankind: a true abomination!

  • jabulani isnt very good to be fair. we used one in a match before and the wind carried it everywhere and made the goalies look like retards. teamgeist is better :)

  • @realmadridroxs74 so in the fifa tounament, they are supposed to pass around defenders and cross it with knuckle balls?

  • "because our local people want more and more balls every day" XD lmfao!

  • Adidas Tango = Best football ever. Why change it if its not broken? Adidas have only sold all those 'millions' of Jabulani balls because its brand new, and with a new ball comes demand... Its purely marketing, and the reason Adidas feel the need to 'revolutionise' balls every 4 years.

  • tutta pubblicita.... ma perfavore la vera bravura di un giocatore nn si vede dai scarpini che ci ha puo giocare pure scalzo nn campia un czzo!!!!!!1

  • The mitre ultimax is the best ball ever FACT! It's only since the big boys like adidas and Nike tried muscle in with their over the top technologies that balls have become shit. They are too light and this adidas ball is a fucking volley ball cos it has no stitching. The ultimax had a traditional stitching pattern that should still be used today. After all, you wouldn't expect to see see a cricket ball without a seam or an american football without stitches!

  • The ball won't travel accurately if the player has no accuracy.

  • well of course t fy strange... IT SUPPOSE TO FUCKING KNUCKLE!

  • Comment removed

  • They changed the Jabulani by making the Speedcell. The problem was that the surface of the ball made it unpredictable in flight, they changed that with the Speedcell so now the flight is much more predictable. I just think that a quantum leap in technology through people off, they simply just weren't used to it.

  • OMW YOU PROBARLY WONT BELIEVE ME BUT THAT FOOTBALL STORE IS MY LOCAL STORE CALLED TOTALSPORTS

  • the ball is bad

    

  • you know no shit about football your just a news channel

  • Comment removed

  • @jagodicable95 no it's not try champions league ball

  • that adidas dude argument is really stupid. Sure its the most sold bald, its the fucking world cup ball! Soccer fans all over the world will inmediatly want it! It doesnt make it good ball just because thousands of kids beg their parents for it, when all the profesional players suddenly miss all their shots

  • Such a bad ball!

  • not going to lie, it takes time getting used to but i like its crazy ball movement in the air. its actually funny how much this ball dips

  • mine has stitches and they said it was original :(

  • tomas is right it is completely perfect

  • Cassillas is not sponsored by Adidas, so OBVIOUSLY he and everyone else who publicly bash the jabulani are doing it in order to keep their own sponsors happy. I'm a goalkeeper (not professionally) and I have no problem saving shots for this ball, which our team uses as our game ball. I'd say the best thing about it is that when you get a good foot on it the ball really travels. I haven't spent a lot of time bending/curving with it but it seems to perform like any other ball in that respect.

  • @Pythons80 - Well if you are sponsored by Adidas, who pay you for indorsing and promoting their product are you going to speak out? These are World Class keepers who speak out out against it. Surely if they have a problems it a reasonable argument, no? I've played with the ball (I'm a goalkeeper, too) and its flight is unpredictable. However, to solve this problem earlier they should use it in the Champions League games prior to a World Cup.

  • Jabulani sucks then?

  • africas poor

  • they need to make the perfect ball and use it every world cup! it's stupid that they change it for every single one!

  • @CashSmeller no it's not... then they would lose money too because people would eventually stop buying it. besides it is exciting to see the new ball

  • @CashSmeller that would be too boring you idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • the umpredictability of the ball isn't that it has those "hills" on it, its because its a very round ball

  • @legoberacho237 Nike does make balls just not for world cup and I all out hate the old and new epl balls because they r just so freakin hard

  • @1011manutd yea i have to agree with you on that

  • how come nike dont make the ball adidas sucks ass

  • thermal bonding , hot glue same thing

  • i want the ball so badly

  • close your eyes from 2:34 - 2:37

  • It's a good ball... I can play well with it

  • This ball was soo difficult to curve or get a decent whip on, the technique just felt awkward.. although the lack of goals in the tournament was just due to a poor world cup... 3 quarters of the games were boring to watch

  • What about the 2006 Teamgeist?

  • This ball is only rotten because people have developed techniques for balls with stitching.

  • Im getting jabulani tomorrow

  • @BlehAirSofting ur wasting ur money

  • @olliepfc94 I bought the Jabulani 3 weeks ago. ive never taken it out of its case. I didnt buy it to play, i bought it to collect footballs. I really like the feel and look of the ball, but ive never used it as i said before

  • It is a ball, don't put blame to the ball. It is a perfect ball. Perfectly round. The football players just need to get used to playing with better balls.

  • @bilos1993 thts what she said lol

  • @olliepfc94 Hahahahahha! Nice one!!!

  • @bilos1993 yh quick thinking ;)

  • too bad i cant afford a fuckin jabulani

  • I dont think that it's bad but that it's a quantum leap from the older soccerballs that we are so used to using, to point where it feels bad. It's meant for spead and precision. It initially just has to do with what we had tolerated for so long.

  • I'm 18 when the next Fifa World Cup is.

    Mmm...beer.  ;)

  • @karvane1 haha ill be 16 and thats the legal age in europe

  • whatever happened to the good ol' black and white paneled balls? killing the game.

  • I can't wait til the 2014 World Cup.

  • ``A JABULANI FOI BEM FEITA EU ACHO ELA BOA``

  • Mesut Ozil made this ball his bitch lol

  • diego forlan didn't seem to have a problem with it.

  • Van Bronckhorst's shot was straight no irregular flight path.

  • @ThinkSkater170 true, it had a back spin though. NASA carried out a test on the ball because it had so many controvesies. As a result, they found out that it is almost impossible to predict where the ball is going when it is traveling faster than 70 km/h

  • ita adidas not aditas

  • champions league 09-10 is the best ball theyve ever made

  • south africa world cup sucked ass, nothing like germany 2006

  • lol why they complaining. i saw some African kids make their balls by inflating condoms then attaching yarn to it. This ball is a dream to them. they would kill for one!

  • what a load of crap. I have the Jabulani and it's a great ball. some players just like to complain. I didn't see Kesuke Honda (the japan international) complain when he scored from 40 yards free kick.

  • a soccer ball or a volley ball? >.>

  • "its our most popular ball" the fifa world cup is one of the most anticipated and watched event in the world the world's human population is always rising if the ball is presented in the world cup obviously it will sell more than others

  • in the normal world, the jabulani controls itself but in soviet russia, it still controls it self

  • notice how the ones who don't like the ball (besides iker casillas) are all part of teams who are sponsored by either umbro, nike or other brands.

  • @juansait Notice the people who don't like the Jabulani balloon are people who have watched the world cup in south Africa?

  • I say they just let Ronaldinho juggle the ball. And he will tell us if it's a good ball or not.:)

  • I say they just let Ronaldinho juggle that thing. Then he will tell you if it's a good ball or not.

  • I think the reason that people think that jabulani sucks is that they arent used to knukcle balls

  • I personally don't care for whatever ball is played with, I just want to see the glory of Football in action!

  • @RenyRuIez How can the glory of football be played with a balloon?

  • @MrGilles1990 You got my point.

  • they should have used the nike t90 bal for sure man

  • @slipknot3597 WC is sponsored by ADIDAS or somethin:P

  • on another news report they said the ball was to round,how is a ball to round

  • I have jabulani :X

  • 2:30 daft punk

  • Stop complaining, the ball is good.

  • you breaking my balls here hans youre breaking my balls

  • the jabulani suck because ''WE'' call a shot called ''jabulani'' its a knuckle ball..

    the shot will like shot like.. uhh idk the way it will..

  • Balls to you!!

  • this is so stupid

    they are just making excuses cuz they had already tested the ball in real games before and no one complained

  • this is so stupid

    they are just making excuses cuz they had already tested the ball in real games before

  • "it sold like hot cakes" wait...people buy 200 dollar balls like pancakes? That explains the world

  • The ball literally was a flying machine

  • In soviet russia the jabulani ball controls you.

  • @Adilshit

    In Soviet Russia jokes get old!!!

  • @Adilshit The problem is that it can't

  • @Adilshit In ur country Chinise controls u! =D because ur just using a chinise laptop/pc to type this stupid joke!

    -From a non Russian person who is sick of racist ppl like u!

  • @satyvirjasra thats not racist you idiot.. 

  • @xThePrickleyRabbitx Thats like saying to an african person...Hey u bloody black neegaa ...I m not racist!

  • @Adilshit

    In russia i fuck you motherfucker !

  • @usbvidzet LMFAOOO!!

  • @usbvidzet u gay?

  • @Adilshit stfu fag

  • Its not the USMNT fault that the keeper couldn't just run for it, instead, Green waited for the ball to come to him. OOPS it slipped.

  • Its not the USMNT fault that the keeper couldn't just run for it, instead of the Green waiting for the ball to come to him. OOPS it slipped.

  • Do you know that 2002-2006 World Football were made in Pakistan ? And there was not a single complain to it. I had worked myself in the factory for making them.

     I would say that those were better than this 'Alien Technology Ultra High Premium Blah Blah Blah !' Jabulani.

  • ur selling over 13 million balls simply because of the united excitement the WORLD CUP brings.. people want to play with the same ball they are watching on the tele. Well the only reason i bought it was to see what all the fuss was about. It really is a dead ball, doesn't listen to you lol. I did however manage to master it within a couple of hard training sessions.

  • the ball suck yet people want more and more balls! lol

  • in all honesty the ball is terrible when i gave it a solid hit straight on its sort of trembles in the air it doesnt stay still when i kicked it to swirve only slight it sent the ball on a mad swirve and when i recive it from a pass there is nothing in it it feels like i just touched it from in a dead ball situation i could play better football with a flyaway football SERIOUSLY

  • I hope FIFA don't prepare 2014 World Cup here in Brasil as they've prepared 2010 WC in South Africa...

    It was terrible!

  • Jabulani sucks in all aspects

    The only ones who like Jabulani are Adidas, because of the money they are getting out of a load of crap which is that pseudo-ball

    I was more of an adidas consumer, now I'm 100% nike

  • WC africa sucked @moose459 you forgot the rotten grass

  • too much science in soccer -.- we dun nid so much science in it -.-. Just bring back the traditional soccer and stop all those fking shit science balls, scientist dun even know those balls, they r just shet.

  • @criskz888 I agree... but the jabulani is a great ball to kick around... I love it

  • I loved the world cup 2007 ball, in my opinion I think that was the best and smoothest ball!

  • All these people complaining about the ball...jesus, it is just a ball...and amateuers don't even realize the difference

  • Why not just play with coconuts?

  • I got to admit i watches 3 world cups in my life 2002 , 2006 and 2010 and 2010 is the world fucking one ever vuvuzella dam and the it's not the ball's fault the players are all shit no good players in the world that can impress last time we hat fat ronaldo zidane beckham every country have it's star now it's like watching crap this generation of football sucks shit.

  • fuck every one who hates the ball except icker carsillas  because the ball is bad ass

  • jabulani the best

  • the 2010 WC in south africa sucked ASS....the ball was shit, the vuvuzelas were shit, and the referees were shit....worst world cup ever, bring on WC 2014 brazil

  • @Moose459 vuvuzelas were ok 

  • @Moose459 vuvuzelas were ok

    ish

  • @Moose459

    are you kidding me....so many great games

  • @Moose459 The world cup wasnt bad, But Germany 2006 was way better, was one of the best world cups I've seen

  • @Moose459 why not korea? ASIAN PRIDE!! XD ahh sry im korean :x

  • @Moose459 lem me guess you are from England?

  • @Moose459 wasn't shit for me I'm from the netherlands

  • @Moose459 aah a English r ya??!

  • @Moose459 it wasnt the worst world cup ever its just that the ball werent very good

  • adidas sucks

  • @American5585 no they don't Adidas is one of the worlds best Companies every started!

    So what if they made on lousy ball it does not mean that their a bad company!

    ohh and one more thing adidas does not use child labor! not like that shitty NIKE! CRAP!

  • fuaa las primeras pelotas :P

  • well the germans liked it,,,it was made for them i think

  • Ugh :(. I would seriously do anything

    For a Jabulani, I want one soooo bad. But my family doesn't have the money

  • @lrshero1 dont worry this ball is crap ;)

  • @dark3ownz Idc I still want one. I would do anything for one

  • @lrshero1 okay :) i want jabulani too but only top replica

  • @dark3ownz I want an actual jabulani, I wish someone would find it in their heartto get me or :/. Haha

  • @lrshero1 okay :) but yes its funny ball cause its 3x easier to knuckle and curve and if u do long range tehnique it will go to sky O_o

  • @dark3ownz Well if you know anyone who doesn't want their jabulani plz give it to meh haha

  • @lrshero1 welcome to the familyy bro !

  • Why do they show robert green? Are they saying its the balls fault that he let the ball slip through his hands?? This ball has like the most grip ever. Robert green is just a horrible goal keeper.

  • @3boredudes Casillas is quite good , and he said it stinks (or something similar), of course the ball is as bad for every team ,you can´t blame the ball if you loose ,but it still stinking. Volleyballs are for volleyball not for football, its like saying that golf balls should be made of rubber so they can fly higher, one thing is true ,it looks f* good.

  • @WhoTFisLeroy I'm a huge spain fan and Casillas is awesome and i trust his opinion on the ball. But I have one and you have to remeber that Casillas and all of the pros are used to playing with the best soccer balls ever invented, so when they get one that isn't the best one yet, it seems like they think its aweful when I'm sure plenty of people would be perfectly happy with having a ball like the Ja/Jo'bulani

  • @3boredudes Of course people want it, its adidas world cup ball and it looks great , but it behaves badly, not good for profesional football. Its a fail by being overcreative

  • The ball is not the problem. I own one and it is a great ball. It just takes some time to learn how to kick it in a way so that it will do what you want. The ball is picky yes, but it does perform when it is kick correctly.

  • i have a jo'bulani ball and it's sweet

  • Over the years the balls change and so should the players. These guys are just not used to it. It is more round and faster. Many are just not used to it.

  • ive never bought a hot cake

  • i need a straight forward answer, does this ball suck? Yes or no?

  • @MrBarcaSoccer YES.

  • pathetic, i have a new 'replica' of the jobulani, its perfect, its amazing ball and prety accuracy, i love it, and it was for 30 bucks at marathon. :)

  • @zpirryz .....the replique is way different

    heavier less round no grip different feel less curve doesnt knuckle like crazy...

    come back when you have the real one and i want to hear your opinion 

  • 2:40 un campo di calcio con le porte che hanno tronchi d'alberi per pali e traverse...... bellissimo, davvero.

  • why do they change the ball?.. keep it the same... team geist ball was good and t90 ball is good, players shouldn't have to adapt to a ball

  • when you win, it's an awesome ball, when you lose, it's an awful ball.

    bollocks

  • in the games the balls are filled with a little bit of helium n that makes the ball lighter which i guess effects the jabulani

  • they sould have the african boys have the jabulani. they wont complain about it.

  • lol forlan wud be like meh...i can control the ball wats so hard?

  • Alright first of all Jabulani means celebrate and I have the ball and its great. It knuckles and I can get a straight flight as well. However it still is slightly harder to bend. The pros need to stop complaining about the ball when they should be getting used to it and improving there skills with the new technology!

  • hmm i dont think the real jabulani is that bad cos ive played with it, but the replica one is actually better i think

  • 2002 Fever Nova : Best ball ever

    2006 Teamgeist : Excellent Ball
