With the arrival of a new world , start controversy that always rotated every four years in the form of a new ball, with new technology and greater chances of scoring a goal.

Jabulani - 03

In the story, have been found from areas of leather stuffed with hair, mane and chips, to a pig's bladder filled with feathers and vegetables to the implementation of a rubber ball in 1870.

In 1931, touch balls sewn by hand ceased to be useful and started having a valve that was connected with the air chamber, saving its hardness (which made for some real headbanging brave)

Jabulani - 01

Without so much about history, in the latest edition of the world saw the + Teamgeist (team spirit in German) developed by Adidas with the particularity that the plus sign had to be added because the name was already trademarked by another mark.

This ball had 14 curved pieces, which were glued to prevent a rain to change their behavior and add stability.

The ball of the 2010 World Cup, named Jabulani (holding, in Zulu) is already the focus of much controversy since its eight panels fail in flight three-dimensional irregular movement and can change direction in a lateral and becoming zizagueo a challenge for many goalies.

Jabulani - 02

In terms of design, has 11 colors that represent the 11 players from each team, the 11 languages of South Africa and 11 South African communities represented at the opening ceremony.

Was it necessary to change the ball to make it a World Cup with a lot of goals ? It is almost time for the most awaited event in the football world and the controversy is becoming larger.
