Germany's WC Ball Unique

The World Cup ball being used in Germany 2006 is different from the English Premier League ball, England Training ball and Kids soccer ball.

The WC ball when passed through the wind tunnel started moving sideways when a force on the ball started to get decreased, so as the player hit the ball , firstly the ball will go straight (if no bend is applied by the player himself) and then as the force decreases on the ball, the ball will itself bend creating a lot of trouble for the goal keeper to judge the trajectory/line of motion of the ball.

The English Premier League and England Training ball dint bend much when passed through the wind tunnel, however the kids soccer ball as expected bent alot.

So in germany 2006, expect some great goals. You have already seen some long range efforts in the goal and that too if you look closely , the ball stated to go in a curved trajectory after going straight and beating the goalie comfortably.

Torsten Frings shot in the match Germany vs Costa Rica, Thomas Rosicky shot in the match Cech rep. vs USA, Andre Pirlo shot in the match Italy vs Ghana, Cahill shot in the match Australia vs Japan.

I wonder how many more to come! Great World cup so far!
