Big Foot Friend of mine has a theory that the reason the Germans did so well the other night is because it's a German ball

Hoop Blah I agree that it's generally a bit of an excuse, and they trot it out at every World Cup when they come out with the latest technologically improved ball.
Dirk suggested it was a Nike conspiracy on the other thread, but that's going a bit over the top! Balls do behave differently at times, but I think it's quite a bit of fuss over not a great deal.

leww_rfc Only have a replica of it, but I think it's an awesome ball to play with. Maybe not for keepers however.

1960 I think the issue with the ball is not the erratic flight sideways, but the impossibility to keep the bloddy thing down from distance. Ronaldo today was the first player to keep a long shot down - and he has special skills in this deparment. All the others have hoofed it and it's gone straight up in the air and way over the bar. It would have been interesting to see what Beckham would have done with it. By this stage we would usually have expected a few long distance screamers and, apart from Ronnie's hit post today, there hasn't been a single one. So, fewer goals, not more.
