    because of the new ball? I heard in an interview that there will be a lot of weird goals this time around from far out because of how hard it is for goalkeepers to track it down because of the curves. Things will go in that have no business going in.

    this makes a lot of sense imo, the new ball is terrible for the goalies.

      Historically the first set of games go under. If you have reasons they won't, jump on it because the books have really good prices for all the first games to go over.

        I think too much can be made about the ball. There will be just as many weird misses as goals.
        Players seem to trot out any excuse.

          I heard the WC Final game they are going to use a new ball and not at the group stage.

            Indeed. all others but final they use ball called Jabulani and for final they use Jo´bulani. From outside the final ball is with golden stripes. The built should be same.

            Originals can be obtained from bwin store.

                i think it's all about match-ups during the cup. i think that ball has nothing to do about overs.

                  Remember altitude will also affect the flight of the ball. Thinner air means the ball will travel faster. There will also be less spin on the ball and will change course less.

                        You guys are reading into this too much. Don't they bring in a new ball at every World Cup?

                          We will see, i'm guessing a lot of unders in first round (it usually goes that way).
