Catch no Ball

Seem like someone is really on the ball in Bath, England - Dr Ken Bray, a sports scientist at the University of Bath had noted that the Adidas ‘Teamgeist’ football has just 14 panels - with fewer seams - making its surface ‘smoother’ than conventional footballs which have a 26 or 32 panel hexagon-based pattern.

“Because the Teamgeist ball has just 14 panels it is aerodynamically more similar to the baseball which only has two panels." Hence, when hit with a slow spin, will make the ball less stable, giving it a more unpredictable trajectory in flight.

The ball, which has been used by teams competing in the World Cup in practice sessions, has already been criticised by England goalkeeper Paul Robinson and Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann for its light-weight and unpredictable behaviour.

WooooO @_@"
the Blah blah version here

Should Germany be concerned, now that scientist in England brought up the issue? ^_^ When's the match between Germany and England again?
