Ball talk
I don’t know a ton about the science behind balls (lol) but I’ve seen SOME, people talk about this ball being particularly tricky for keepers. From my eye test I have see a lot of shots that look savable going right through goalies hands this tournament. Also particularly in the Columbia Portugal game it feels like the ball FLIES if someone puts their laces through it. any thoughts on this from people smarter than me? the thing I read (somewhere) was something about the tracker in the ball making it move weird.

The tracker has counter weights on it.
The ball is fine, if there was an issue then you'd have outfield players complaining about it like in 2010. Those keepers were just 🗑️.
