Little tip, which might or might not be of use. Apparently the new ball they're using is a complete joke, incredibly light and unpredictable in terms of crossing etc..

This happens most years, but the dismissal is fairly widespread this time round, not just confined to the goalies.

So I'm thinking, if struck right from 20-30 yards out the goalie doesn't have a chance, whereas in most cases of crosses and such you won't see much aerial work connecting. Anyone see anything glaringly wrong with this hypothesis?

Basically, I'm wondering how best to use this advantage in terms of unders/overs on the scoreline in that there might be a few big suprises. Any thoughts?

Loose balls in the box and confusion in the defense mean goals. As will the shots. If you remember back to the last world cup...
