The 2010 Jabulani was as horrid as the constant mindless din of the vuvuzelas. South Africa should be banned from ever hosting again.
The Jabulani was worse than a beach ball. Its tendency to sail and float robbed the tournament of goals no matter how conservative or wide-open teams played.

EVERYBODY hated the Adidas Jabulani soccer ball because they didn't properly wind tunnel test the ball design and forgot that the flight of the ball is even more affected by the altitude of several South African football stadiums. That's why when the Adidas Brazuca ball was designed, the first thing the ball design underwent was a huge amount of wind tunnel testing.

At the end, the announcer declared that South Africa should now be considered a "First World" nation (equal to the US, UK, etc.) because they sucessfully hosted the games. LOL!
