FIFA admits fault with Jabulani World Cup ball

FIFA has finally acknowledged that there may be something wrong with the Jabulani World Cup ball, but won't act on the problem until after the tournament.



FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke says the world governing body is not unreceptive about what has been said about the ball.



Valcke says that FIFA will discuss the matter with coaches and teams after the World Cup, and then meet with manufacturer Adidas.



Brazil coach Dunga got into a verbal spat with Valcke over the Jabulani before the tournament, challenging him to come out onto the pitch and attempt to control it.
