Wasn't he in Disney's Jungle Book?

no but he was in kipling's

The ball is something that does annoy me though. The ones in Germany and Austria/Switzerland were bad as well. If you compare them to the 2002 fevernova you can see that they're a lot lighter and going by the footage I think the performance of the players is compromised.

It isn't aimed at particular teams obviously, but it kind of makes the game more random. Then again, Adidas haven't made a decent ball in eight years, so what did we expect?

I'll judge the ball later on in the tournament and when I get to play around with it myself.

Stop whinging.

54, 74, 90, 2010!!!
Werden wir Weltmeister sein

Only some of the teams and the media. Not the ball, not the stadium, not the language, not pitch size, nor any of the other silly matters you whiners are complaining about now.

But that doesn't make you any different to the current people you're criticizing.

You hate their fans, you hate their accents, you hate their teams, their players, their refs, their style... we're all on the same line bro

God I'm sick of the german media touting their team as the WC champions already just because they won their opening match vs Australia.

He did make exceedingly good cakes.

He hates them so much but he cant....stop....duscussing....them

 

[swag]

Agreed. Stop moaning you bloody bunch big girl's blouses!

I haven't heard the German team moaning about the ball.

Big time. Can't do anything constructive with your shot? Blame the ball. Flub on a GK error? Blame the ball.

Excuses, excuses.

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!

Excuses, excuses.

And if your whole team plays badly, blame the horns.

Gosh, the German press are supporting their own natinal team!

Nazis!

 

[Alen]

Brazil -3 is 3.6

Brazil -2 is 2.05

No idea if it is European or Asian.



Don't think so.

If you don't get money back then you have an european handicap. Brazil -2 means that you win only if Brazil win by 3 or more and you lose in any other case. Brazil -3 means that you win only if Brazil wins with 4 or more.

It's probably like the CL ball which to be honest is pretty bad too. Only one team I played against this year used the Adidas ball and it was like kicking a beach ball. It was way too light. Most teams over here use Select, which is a lot better.

I think they do it to add to something spectacular to the game, but unfortunately it backfires as the players are having difficulties with it.

 

[Red]

Brazil: Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Juan, Felipe Melo, Michel Bastos, Elano, Gilberto Silva, Luis Fabiano, Kaka, Robinho

North Korea: Ri Myong-guk, Cha Jong-hyok, Ri Jun-il, Pak Nam-chol, Ri Kwang-chon, Pak Chol-jin, An Yong-hak, Ji Yun-nam, Mun In-guk, Hong Yong-jo, Jong Tae-se.


Interesting decision from the North Koreans to go with that midfield.

Who's the guy who said he was going to score in every group game?

 

[Bozi]

Andries last years CL ball was an absolute belter,when the games are this poor the players will always look to find excuses,heskey blaming ther ball for his miss is a typical example.....no Heskey,you missed because you are shite
