Sounds crap on telly but I bet it sounds great in the ground and definitely would liven up some of the games so far which have been verging on tedious.
Also it upsets all the expert pundit 'Ing-er-land fans' on phone in shows who's houses/cars/family/pets are decked out in St. George flags but have never been to a game before in their lives.
Give me Africans in their Flava Flav shades playing vuvuzelas over the poxy Ing-er-land/Sheff Weds band playing the farkin 'The Great Escape' in St. George afro wigs any day of the week.
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRP!!!

Agree with Aitch, anything that annoys Ronaldo has a redeeming feature. ;D
BBC Breakfast News are saying that the sound could be filtered out as it's a constant pitch.

I wasn't sure about the World Cup in South Africa - and maybe longterm the money could be better used in long-term development, etc, etc. And maybe thus far, the football is not great.
But it's actually great to have the games there. It's not just Europe (and Europe/USA) and South America...It's a worldwide sport. And those who say "Why so many African teams" (or other teams) at the World Cup at the expense of some of the teams who didn't make it - Don't really understand this is a WORLD Cup...

Warning. Anyone blowing one in my ear might want to lube their arsehole before they choose to do it. That way it will slide up easier when I try and jam it there. And to show this isn't the only site "anti them" www.yellowfever.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13129Phil seems to have disappeared since we started complaining about them.

Personally the vuvuzelas don't bother me that much.
Watching the England game I was far more concerned at our lack penetration in attack and inability to take command of the midfield, allowing USA to play in our own half.
The noise doesn't bother me, I get used to it in about 30 secs. and if the SA's and others want to blow their own horns, let them. They look like they are enjoying themselves and having fun so how is that a problem as well as how can you tell someone how to watch a football match?
Hardly an issue and certainly not going to spoil the world cup.

I believe so, I am hetro Mark. The only thing as bad at this world cup other than these horns are the commentators. Brackley sounds like he's in front of a class of kindy kids and talks like one and the other English commentators are so friggen patronising it's not funny. Still could be worse, we could have to put up with the yarpy commentators like those smug/arrogant rugby ones we suffer in super 14.

I hardly missed a home international since my first which was the infamous Scotland game in '77 but with the exception of a few schoolboys/under 17 etc. matches I stopped going to England games after '96. The main reason is the 'fans' actually stopped me liking the team.

Still think that awful sound kills any atmosphere whatsoever at the matches. But to each their own, I am much more concerned about how they treat their security workers.

If we are going to remembered for the vuvuzela then so be it - at least it won't be for reasons such as a junta who used their hosting of the WC to justify their hold over the country (Argentina), the hand of God (Mexico), the French policeman who was beaten into a coma (France), the Uruguayans who were killed by Brazilians after their team beat the hosts in the 1950 "final", the Mussolini threats to his team (1934 & 1938) and a host of other things.
The strike issue - 2 sides to that story, see what they were actually promised, not what they are telling us what they were promised, and also take into account how unionised and miltant some of these unions actually are.
The NZ camermen - sorry it happened but I wait to see what happens in NZ next year when they host the rugby WC.
And to all other critics of this WC - it is here, it is going off okay, it is not our fault that some games have not been exciting but it happens - so accept it and get a life.

I dont think your guys will be treated with such disrespect to be honest Phil.
Itr is extremely sad and disturbing that certain countries have taken a football tournament to promote their own political agenda. Argentina being the most obvious in my own living memory. (My first viewing was the 1974 in West Germany tournament.
I think over-all, my most enjoyable one to watch was the one shared by Japan and South Korea although spain in 82 does hold a significant one for New Zealand reasons.
As for the quality of the football, sure some has been less than expected. I wont blame the minor considered countries such as my own as no one expects a lot from us. But the England performance, the Portugal level and Ivory Coast too, one expects a higher level to be on dispaly which hasn't been. in fact only Germany of the so called "Main" teams has surpassed themselves. abandoning the dull, efficient and conservative appraoches of German teams in the past, they really took the game to australia which showed them up to be a lot worse than they really are. Germany were on fire that nioght and played some supurb football.

Maybe two sides to the coin and a poor time to voice your discontent they should have protested earlier. But still, 16 hours at work for crap pay. I say Go Unions crush capitalism! But then I am a socialist for real.
