FIFA World CUP 2010 & Pulle

Come on..I thought these fellas were playing on grass! Curiosity drove me to find out the grass (yes, Poda Pullae stuff) type that is there as that "green blanket" upon which these "golden boot dreamers" meticulously maneuver the Jabulani (I hope the Made in India latex bladder of this ball is natural).

Net teaches me that it is not entirely natural in South Africa! The playing surface, it seems is of natural grass enhanced by artificial fibres. The pundits claim that grass roots will intertwine with the fibres to create a solid, more even structure.

Technology, technology...................
