Adidas, maker of the Jabulani World Cup ball, has rejected claims that it was to be blamed for England goalkeeper Robert Green\'s error that led to England drawing 1-1 with the United States on Saturday.



Adidas\'s Thomas Schaikvan says the company is happy with the ball\'s performance and the ball had nothing to do with the goal England conceded.



He says if you look at the games so far, some goalkeepers have been the stars of the tournament.
