Summary
Joe Hart, former Manchester City and England goalkeeper, has raised concerns about the adidas Trionda ball being used at the 2026 World Cup. He argues that the ball's unpredictable flight on long-range shots — particularly those struck without curl and traveling at shoulder height — is causing goalkeepers significant difficulty. Hart points to the recurring pattern of similar goals being scored throughout the tournament as evidence that the ball's behavior is abnormal and not merely coincidental.
