THIS is the official World Cup ball which could power England to glory in South Africa. The makers even bizarrely claim it is the "ROUNDEST" ball ever made thanks to eight special moulded panels. Imagine it flying through the rarified South African air off Wayne Rooney's right boot and rattling into the back of the opposition net. ![]() Well, take a good look at the ball Wayne and get to work! The ball will be officially unveiled by FIFA president Sepp Blatter at the World Cup draw in Cape Town on Friday. But SunSport can exclusively reveal the new ball days ahead of schedule. It's called "Jabulani", which means "to celebrate" in isiZulu and features a South African design. Manufacturers adidas claim that a newly-developed "Grip 'n Groove" profile is said to provide "an exceptionally stable flight and perfect grip under all conditions!" So provided Rooney and his team-mates are aiming in the right direction, it should go in! The name Jabulani pays tribute to the passionate football celebration fans will hopefully enjoy in South Africa next summer. Eleven different colours are used, representing the 11 players in each team, the 11 official languages of South Africa and the 11 South African communities. England hope to be confirmed as one of the top eight seeds in a meeting in Cape Town tomorrow. |

This moronic twat just so happens to be world class and one of England's key players. |

Not the worst ball I've ever seen, and will probably be one of the nicest to play with. Champions League 01/02 ball was the greatest ever, no argument. |

The hype surrounding him right now in England is ridiculous because of the World Cup coming up. Don't think i could bare living there right now. It's obvious he's not going to win us the World Cup so they should just chill the fuck out. |

P.s. Trig is absolutely right, why is that chimpanzee piece of shit coming up in every single news article from this disgusting British media? Really is pathetic how these people have to constantly assure themselves that they've got a good player. And don't talk about 'cheats like Henry' when Rooney is one of England's dirtiest and biggest cheats around. |

Rooney has already cheated and conned the ref a thousand more times in his young career than Henry has over the course of around 15 years. Fact. And yes i'd rather have Henry, even now. |

Doesn't look the best. Agree with the lads about that 2002 ball, it was great to play with. Had to laugh at that part about it being "the roundest ball" ever made. Who honestly gives a shit, it's hardly as if the others were fucking oval. It won't matter anyways, by the time a player kicks it, the lightweight ball will turn some wierd shape and wobble all over the place and into the goal, giving nightmares to the keepers who had just figured out how that last ball evaded them time after time. Just make a great football and stick with it for christ's sake. Would it hurt to just stop fucking around and let the players go into the biggest competition in football, playing with something they're used to? Surely things would be better then. Idiots. |
