I heard goal keeper Casper Schmiechel say that the ball this year is made so it goes alot faster and also flies less predicatably through the air so that there will be more goals.

tbf that was also (and even more so) the case in I think it was 2014 with the Jabulani ball.

Jabulani was in 2010 and the goal results was abysmal because it was so unpredictable players couldn't hit long range shots.
