There has been way too many bad passes/crosses so far in this tournament. In the rainy games it has been horrible passes from really skillful players. It is very obvious that the makers of this ball didn't consider rainy days. I have played with it myself and when it is wet you can't do any dekes and passing is really hard.
The good part about this ball is that you seem to be able to get one hell of a speed with it. We have seen some of the greatest shots ever in this tournament, see Rui Costa's and Ballack's goals. But so far there has only been two freekick goals.
The conclusion is that this ball has so many negative effects that it should have been changed from the beginning.
