I think the ball has a big influence, there have been so many overhit passes and dead balls, it cant be coincidence.
If it's true that the German league have been using the Jabulani all year, as well as the other adidas nations then there should be an investigation.
Other than that I think it's the pressure of not making a mistake, teams have plaeyd ultra safe at times. We will see more entertaining and open games as the group stages progress and the stakes get higher.
