Vuvuzela

[Mephisto_Helix]

Muted here as well.

I really hope, enoug people will complain about them so Fifa will ban it for every other match or at least allow us a channel with that sound filtered.

Wasn't there some announcement where Fifa have officialy backed the terrible thing already? They won't ban it, they don't have the balls.

Unfortunately you can't filter that sound. And FIFA are unlikely to ban them without massive repercussions from the "annoying prat-pack"...

they don't have the balls.

Their balls have been taken away?

That and the fact that the commentators were going on about it being a fantastic introduction to the game. BALONEY!!!

 

[Rosaudio]

That Blatter dude seems to like them

 

[Necuno]

lol we should do the Vuvuzela poll; like it, hate, sacrifice the blowers ?

 

[kingmonty]

It's horrible watching with the sound muted... Imagine what sports bars must be like now... that bloody sound just drains everything out

[RazedInBlack]

Why doesn't Iraq just use their WMDs?

 

[Necuno]

What's really sad about the vuvuzela is that officials are trying to punt it as the Sound of South Africa.

 

[DigitalSoldier]

Busy reading some international forums and the Europeans really don't like the South Africa "air horn"

click here

Yeah, I was watching the pregame and they were talking about how the air horns are used a lot in SA, and I just rolled my eyes. Air horns and thundersticks are annoying. If you want to make some noise, use your voice

i had to turn off the sound... getting headaches.

will this noise be in every wc game next year? hope not... fifa should ban this ****. finally a rule that would make sense

and it goes on

I agree and my wife refuses to let me watch any local games due to the "swarm of bees".

It is extremely annoying.

FIFA must learn from the Confed Cup and ban vuvuzelas from SWC2010.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Most annoying and mindless thing ever invented. It's like a three-year-old's toy "Zomg! It makes a noise!" and the fascination with it in this country is endless.

 

[Rosaudio]

Cant we mass spam Fifa or something to push them into banning them?

[Stokstert]

Beware of shotgun!!

 

[CellBel]

How can they just end the anthem

Welcome to Africa.

 

[Sensorei]

Welcome to Africa.

Where culture is about being uncultured.

Before Blatter tried to open the game he said "no vuvuzelas please" or something, but ya just shows that nobody watches local football matches

SABC seem to be aware of it being annoying though did not seem as bad as on supersport3
