“After seeing some of the comments on the site, and after hearing the rampant discussion concerning the lack of goals during the first round of group play, I understand that there’s a lot of confusion about the effects of new Jabulani ball. For those of you that have been living in a cave, essentially the argument is that the new ball is very different, and because of this, there haven’t been a lot of goals scored because players aren’t used to how the ball flies through the air. The argument goes on that the players are using ‘old’ techniques to kick the new ball and these ‘old’ techniques are causing the ball to fly above the cross bar an inordinate number of times.” (Yanks Are Coming)
