With the World Cup just a few months away, adidas unveiled the latest FIFA World Cup Match Ball, the Jabulani, on Friday, December 4 and it is already a hit among players with shockingly even some goalkeepers chiming in on the flight of the new ball.

Frank Lampard was critical to England finishing on top of UEFA Group 6 World Cup Qualifying.  The Chelsea player knocked in 4 goals during the qualifying campaign and said the ball was ‘A very strong ball, true to hit.’

Germany’s Michael Ballack added; “Fantastic, the ball does exactly what I want it to” while Brazil’s Kaka said “For me, contact with the ball is all-important, and that’s just great with this ball.”
