Does anyone have opinions on how well the official Adidas Jabulani ball is working so far?
So far I've noticed that when kicked with power the ball just keeps on going like there's no gravity. There've been many way over the top shots at goal. I think this is going to be a problem with long range free kick shots and specialists like Lampard and Ronaldo aren't going to get goals from these sorts of attempts.
In the France - Uruguay game, Henry tried to get around this factor but he couldn't put any power behind the ball and it was awful.
On the bright side, Messi seems to have to hang of the huge lateral swerve, as shown by his excellent strike that was saved by the Nigerian keeper.

I hate the germans too but I cant see Australia upsetting them-no decent midfielder.

I still dont see who's going to give Australia their "midfield spark" , unless Cahill has a blinder of a game- which he occasionally doesπ
