5. The Jabulani ball. Proudly advertised as the "roundest ever" finals ball, this latest piece of soccer technology offers 11 colours to "represent each of South Africa's languages".

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United has allowed the striker to take centre stage and he has excelled to give England real optimism. Haven't we been here before...?  clipped from www.independent.co.uk3. Lionel Messi. The Argentine maestro has hit new heights seemingly every week with Barca this season, and, after a brief cameo in Germany four years ago, is finally ready to step up and make the tournament his own. With 40 goals already this campaign, the reigning world player of the year could be the star of the show.
