That it pisses you off.
Grow up I say.

If you feel sympathy for them just because they're Africans then this is sad.

I'm with respecting local cultures but local cultures must also respect foreign culture in such an international event like World Cup which is once every 4years. Although what they're also doing is anything but cultural, it's a stupid Chinese instrument used to annoy people. Drums would be more likely to sound acceptable and Drums are part of the African culture, but bee noise was never.

I'm not saying Vuvuzela is not good but constant Vuvuzela is annoying as fuck and if doesn't piss you off then you should know it's pissing millions of people and that you're minority in this case.

I can't believe how some of you are ok with this one. The WC is the highlight of the year and chanting and bans do turn the game into one nice atmosphere but Vuvuzela makes me feel like I'm living in some Bee community.

And another example, Germans are known for having one of the best football chants and I couldn't fucking hear them last night because of those Chinese toys. If you prefer Vuvuzela to random football chanting then we're living in a different centuries.

There is a difference between saying you don't like them and saying they should be banned.

I don't like them because they block out the other crowd noise, but I don't care enough to want them banned.

    i care enough to get them banned. fuck what the south africans feel.


    as far as i know TV viewers and tourists make up the majority of income profit for the event. you try to make the atmosphere as pleasing as possible to your customer, not as unpleasant.

    if you go into any business joint these days. and you have a legit complaint aout something they do, they will listen to you, if enough people complain about it, they will change it to they don't lose customers.

    Well let's just sanitize the WC then, eliminate all the stadium fans, play the matches behind closed doors, and broadcast it exclusively for television. We can pretend the Cup takes place in different continents, but all matches will be played live for the convenience of a TV audience in Europe so it conforms to their work and sleep schedules.

    World Cup indeed.

    If folks mean what they say, then put your money where your mouth is and don't watch the matches. It's that simple.

    But no, instead they will watch the matches and then complain about the fans actually at the stadium. Just weird.

    It's wrong to ban them but I don't understand why they (the fans and those who are in charge of hosting the games) insist on keeping them when everyone is complaining. They have spend lots of money to host the games in the best way possible so what's all this persistence about when they clearly see that everyone is annoyed?

    So either Vuvuzela or empty stadiums? Has Andy hijacked your account? :D

    Like I said, I'd take those vuvuzela and beat the fans with them until they start to make the same sound.

    I'm not sure if I'd go for a ban, but it's pretty silly to use it during the football match. If anything, I think it should be used when African teams are playing and not always. It kills the football atmosphere and it's stupid to watch without hearing chants and celebrations as it adds a lot.

    it's their tradition and they are doing it for years...even when the national club teams are playing in their league they are blowing the vuvuzelas.. You can't ban them. As all nigerians will play their songs from trumpets and drums or ucraineans will drink votka and puke in 2012..

    I think it's stupid too, Rab, but I think it's wrong to ban them.
    I'm not insisting on banning them but man there's a limit for everything. I wouldn't mind fans using it when a team scores or once in a while but the whole tournament? That's too much.

    I'm not mad. I think it's silly that TV viewers are trying to swing around their influence when they're not even at the event. It's as if people would just rather watch the World Cup as a massive multiplayer XBox Live version of FIFA 2010 with international teams at the controls. :yuck:

    The Fifa confirmed today that they will not ban them in stadiums while the company that manufactures them started a new-improved-more-quite version.
