Now I have truly heard it all!

Yes its official--- England's World cup players are finding the official World Cup Jabulani Ball too "difficult" to play with. The new World Cup football is made from just eight pieces of shaped synthetic material glued tightly together.
The result is an undistorted, perfectly spherical ball. Nothing like getting your excuses in before the first match then .

I, for one wont be getting my hopes up. 44 years since we last won, to much disappointment to bear.

As our players are supposedly some of the best in the world then surely everyone will find it hard to play with. If that is the case it will be a level playing field. I am with Smarties on the 44 years front..

That, combined with a perfectly round ball... spells trouble.

Doesn't stop the telly reminding us of it.....incessantly.
