The Jabulani vs Brazuca

5 free kick goals in South Africa vs. 3 in Brazil. 145 goals in SA vs. 171 in Brazil. Weather obviously influences shots but lets focus on the ball. There were 5 in SA but there were still a number of long range strikes where the ball danced at the last moment (Quagliarella's strike against Slovaki, Bronckhorst's winner against Uruguay, Forlan against SA).

I played with the Jabulani in a few matches and as a keeper I absolutely hated it. The ball was unpredictable and Adidas always creates a ball keepers hate for obvious reasons . Which did you prefer? I'm going w/the Brazuca because despite the goal increases there were far better keeper performances in '14 vs. '10.

Messi against Nigeria
This may explain why Messi went for goal against Germany. Similar distance and angle, obviously Neuer's a far better keeper.
