It was on this day (June 16) at a freezing Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria in 2010 when Forlán fashioned out a rocket and hammered a brace in the South American’s 3-0 thumping of Bafana Bafana. All thanks to Jabulani

Contrary to its name Jabulani , the 2010 Fifa World Cup official match ball did not bring joy to some, at least according to the adverse ratings it received from some of the megastars who converged on these shores for the global showpiece 12 years ago.

As for Jabulani, those who kicked it bemoaned that the ball defied the laws of physics, particularly its movement and the way it dipped and swerved.Brazilian goalkeeper Júlio César likened the ball to “one of those you buy in the supermarket”, while his then-national team-mate Robinho ridiculed the designer as “the guy who never played football”.

At the centre of the debate was that the traditional ball had 32 pentagonal panels with internal stitching. But this was later developed into a 14-bonded panel. Then the Jabulani ball came along with an eight-bonded panel design with aerodynamic grooves and ridges.
