Players blaming the ball for poor performance or control are making excuses. A ball is just a ball. Having watched so many games, I've see nothing that suggests that the ball behaves any differently than other balls used.
Ever play on the beach, backyard or street with a plastic ball? Within 10 minutes you get used to the bounce and feel. To suggest that the ball is ruining the WC is idiotic. Its the uninspiring football on display bar Argentina and Germany thus far!

Alonso sprayed the ball around perfectly all game. He used to balloon the ball over all the time for us aswell, and he also cracked the shot of the game against the bar yesterday, so.....

same for all best teams coping (Switzerland ace team Spain crap)blah! over caution paying off creeps rule etc. I just hope it gets better.I need to see some good football If Spain go out in the first stage it will make a mockery of this competition.
