Yes he did.
Also Johnson made a point about the design intent of the Jabulani being for it to reduce overall drag when in flight. What is so bad about that? It is different to what has been used before but less drag isn't a bad thing at all. It results in the ball being more predictable in flight, rather than the tumbling effect of the more un-aerodynamic balls in flight. The worst thing you could honestly say about the Jabulani is that it bounces a bit too much. I enjoy kicking my Jabulani around in the same way I enjoy kicking my Teamgeist, which also got bagged roundly before '06.
