The current ball is "too round" apparently. Others say it "changes direction unpredictably" (like the climate perhaps?).

The ball was designed using computer modelling and tested with robotics. Maybe it lacks the human touch?

Hmm... Maybe it´s not the shape, but the materials: Tuvalu needs a crystal ball. They can predict all intermediate winners, save emissions by skipping all the matches until the final one: Tuvalu 3- Brasil 0

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
(and hence clamorous to be led to safety)
by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The hobgoblins have to be imaginary so that
"they" can offer their solutions, not THE solutions.

No probs Strogoff, the best team on the day won.
See I try to be fair, even when I'm a vested interest......LOL.

Good luck for the rest of the tournament.
