the italains are big girls blouses, get up and stop holding your leg, he never touched you

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

To be honest, even if i did find the sound annoying, the sight of so many people enjoying it would probably be enough to put up with it.

During the opening match we made our way from a fan park in Johannesburg to a church hall, to get a more enjoyable view. The streets were virtually empty, apart from the sound of vuzuzelas in the distance and the sight of people literally gathered outside shops to view the TVs inside. It was like a scene from a cheesy film.

So far no one seems to have really shined.

The so called big guns seem to have loaded blanks.

BBC may offer 'vuvuzela free' games;

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

That doesn't solve the problem imo. The problem is that the constant drone drowns out the crowd noise (on tv at least), which makes the game rather sterile to look at. I want to hear the crowd gathering behind the teams and getting excited over what goes on at the pitch. The vuvuzela drowns out the ebb and flow of the crowd noise, and makes it really hard to get into the game. It's not even clear who the drone is for...

I really have no problem with them being blown copiously for SA games if that's what South Africans are into, but having a constant drone during Holland-Denmark for instance makes no sense at all.

Watching the Oranje earlier on I didnt hear the dutch drummers at all...they are normally at every World Cup

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

I didn't hear a trumpet followed by a mass 'aanvalluh' either. :(

Re: FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa
 

It may be part of SA culture but it's def not a part of world footballing culture, crowd noise is all part of the game. I miss the boooo's and ahhhh's and different chants.

the vuvuzelas'
 

Peace at last? Quite possibly as the BBC says 'we can silence the vuvuzelas'

is this constant drone driving you nuts ? the football has been on constantly in my house and this noise is driving me nuts .im surprised any one can concentrate of playing football with this dreadful din

what do you think of it ???

Re: the vuvuzelas'
 

Stadium atmosphere is one thing but when one thing drowns everything else out then it gets a bit silly, maybe silencing is too much but surely reducing the level of the vuvuzelas a bit would be a start?

Re: the vuvuzelas'
 

they have just said on bbc breakfast that they can't really do much without losing other stadium sounds!
