The Ball Will Come Round

Who wants to bet?

I say that just before the world cup, there'll be news reports saying that the official ball is gonna make life hell for goalkeepers, and one or two top goalies will come out and confirm this, and one or two players will come out and say that it's too light or too round or too square or whatever, and then FIFA will say that this ball will result in more goals, and Adidas will say that they've developed a ball that is more accurate than the old ball, and the new ball will get about 1.5 days of media attention before the interest dies down, and nobody will talk about the football ball or the technology that births it until 2010, when the same circus starts all over again.

Any takers?
