As soccer's World Cup gets set to begin Thursday, many fans are focused on the surprising star of the last tournament: the ball. Adidas' Jabulani ball, designed for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, was supposed to be aerodynamically superior to other soccer balls. Many players, however, complained that its flight wasn't true. Brazilian goalie Julio Cesar called the Jabulani terrible and said it looked as though it had come from a grocery store. This time, the Jabulani has been retired in favor of the Adidas Brazuca, and early reviews have been positive.
