Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

The New World Cup Ball - The Jabulani
-
09-06-2010 4:24am#1It causes uproar every four years & this year is no exception. The "Jabulani", Zulu for the word "celbrate", looks like this...
And here's what the players have been saying;
Julio Cesar "It's horrible - it looks cheap.. like something you'd buy in a supermarket"
Luis Fabiano "It's weird. All of a sudden it changes trajectory on you. It's like it doesn't want to be kicked … like someone is guiding it. . . . It's supernatural."
Tim Howard "The ball's terrible. You're going to hear that now, you're going to hear that next week and next month."
In response to the critics, Adidas, which said it tested the ball in Russian, Dutch, German and Argentine leagues last winter and spring, has launched a damage-control campaign, dispatching many of the players on its payroll — among them Brazil's Kaka, Michael Ballack of Germany and England's Frank Lampard — to counter the criticism, with Ballack calling the ball "fantastic" and Lampard predicting "a lot more spectacular goals . . . and a lot more spectacular misses."
Can't wait for the penalty shoot-outs!0
