Among the Mexian soccer fans I know, the hot rumor is that the balls being used are non-standard and that this is why more goals are being scored- the goalies cannot "read" the new ball's spin, or bounce.

Paranoia, or is there some possible basis?

Seems the ball is 400 grams, slick as a post-McDonald floater, and very fast*. They are not the first to complain.






*Not talking about Louis' *balls* here! Move along...

is 400 grams the same size as a regulation ball? Let's ask Joe G.!
