The World Cup will be decided by....

.... the ball!

Recent reports suggest that the official World Cup ball is the most symmetrically spherical ball ever produced and that it is also the most unpredictable.

Maicon's first goal for Brazil yesterday showed clearly that the ball has a tendency to substantially move from it's projected course regardless of the amount of spin put on it by the player. Green's howler for England could be attributed to the same unpredictability as he clearly misjudged how the ball was going to bounce, (three keepers have suffered from the same thing so far in this tournament, but only Green's led to a goal).

So how will the ball decide who is going to win the World Cup?

The ball is manufactured by Adidas, a German company, and it has been in use in the Bundesliga for the past five months. The German players are used to it and that is backed up by the fact that Germany are the only team to have trounced anyone in this competition so far.

If they can keep it together as a team then the ball itself will become Germany's 'twelfth man', and I predict that Germany will be in the final, if not win it.

Bloody hope I'm wrong though!

This is the best world cup by a long mile, normally cant get the other half away from watching the footy, but he hasn't even watch more than 20 minutes of a match because of the racket in the background.... bonus!

I've watched every match so far apart from the Argies (can't bring myself to look at that fat fuck maradona) and I've got used to the vuvuzela's. I think it adds to the whole sense of occasion.

Heard on the radio that England are the only team at the finals who have not played with the new ball prior to going to S Africa.

Apparently the FA's turned down the chance to try the ball beforehand because we are sponsored by a different company!!!! We are a big fooking joke

I think the Premiership uses Nike footballs so it would be a bit of a slap in the face to them if our FA took their millions and then gave the England team an Adidas ball. I'd be mightily pissed off if I was a Nike exec and that happened.

Um, I was eliminated in the qualification rounds for having irregular sized tiddlywinks. They said I was to "fuck off and never tiddle your winks here ever again!"... So I thought, "Fuck ya, I'll watch the World Cup instead then!"

I can understand that, but this is the world cup, and we should prepare in the best possible way. Can't believe the contract is that watertight, that they can't train with another manufacturers equipment?

They should have paid for the balls, or the players should have bought their own to train with.

Bradford

Heard today that Rob Green faced 4,000 shots in practice without conceding a single goal. Afterwards he and Emile Heskey joined the rest of the squad for general practice.

Seriously, we could play with our own ball in a match and still not win the WC.
