New Zealand Players Complain about Jabulani Ball
New Zealand Herald, June 9
Daveyton - New Zealand's squad called off their first training session for the up-coming World Cup finals early, complaining bitterly about the controversial Jabulani ball. The ball, touted to go faster and bend more than previous balls, has stirred up controversy since its unveiling in December, 2009, with players from several countries complaining about the Jabulani's unpredictability. The New Zealand team got their first taste of the aerodynamic ball at their initial training session on South African soil in a shantytown north of murder capital Johannesburg yesterday. This was the first time an entire team has walked off in protest at the new ball.
"Mate, I don't fucken know either. Someone's pulling our ligs"
"We arrived here for the World Cup and some cunt's changed the ball on us," complained captain Ryan Nelson. "Ut's a bloody joke." The players stormed off following a meeting in the centre of the pitch, after the players had toyed half-heartedly with the FIFA-supplied balls for about 10 minutes. "You can't play footy wuth thet," complained Mark Paston. "Ut slups out of your arm when you're running, and the shape is all wrong. Fuck knows what the other teams thunk of ut all."
"See what hippens when you let the Maoris run a country"
Coach Ricki Martin said he would file a complaint with World Cup hosts South Africa, after first consulting with "that fet McCully pruck." Martin said that in all of the world cups he has played in, "thus us the first time I've seen a fucking round ball. What us thus, Gaelic football?" While waiting for instructions from the Ministry of Rugby, the players were relaxing at the hotel with their sheep.
The ball slips out of Mark Paston's hand in the in-goal area as he tries out the new perimiter guard nets.
