Description

The World Cup's new ball is the most technologically advanced ever, Fifa tells us. It has a 500Hz motion sensor chip, which lets VAR and analysts figure out precise positioning, speed and even the spin on the ball, for some weird reason.

He said: 'As soon as [players] are not using the curling technique, as soon as that ball is not spinning, the goalkeepers are struggling.'
