Apparently developed at Loughborough University for Adidas.

I like the contrast between the comments from the Adidas sponsored players and the rest.
Goal count is well down on average for the 1st matches anyway.

Re: World Cup
Sol Campbell has slammed England coach Fabio Capello for overlooking him for the World Cup finals.
I seem to remember he wouldn't come out for the second half a few years ago when Arsenal were getting beaten 3-0.

Re: World Cup
looks like the refs are anti-American. Would have been nice to seem them come back from 2 goals down to win, but no.

Re: World Cup
Half the US team had their hands wrapped around the Slovenian players. It was a clear foul. The US was lucky to get a draw. The US has always delusions of grandeur in footballing terms, must be that they come from such a weak confederation.
