Unintended Consequences of the Adidas World Cup Ball

July 13th, 2010

It’s a tough call, but Adidas’ new match ball just might beat out the Vuvuzuela horns as the most polarizing thing on South Africa’s World Cup pitch. The Jabulani ball -- translated as “Celebration” -- has been criticized for its unpredictable movement, called cheap (need a link reference) and been implicated in botched plays.
