I hope they dont. I like the Vuvuzela, it is annoying as hell but the World Cup is being held in South Africa so its only right that the football traditions of the country are present at every game.
It's no more annoying than bull horns, chanting, football yobs or the skinheads wandering around the streets drunk before and after every match. To be honest, I know it's not a universal problem and not everyone is guilty, but if you're looking at addressing problems with football audiences then there are more important places to start for society as a whole than just telling people they can't blow plastic trumpets because it distracts the players. And besides, given the disgusting amount that the players are paid on average, I'd expect them to be able to cope with a little distraction.
They already did this in Finland, I suppose. I remember reading a bit of news on that. Really I could not care any less about football, but I think muting the vuvuzelas is wrong. It's the WC and it's in South Africa and if over there people use these things then so be it. EDIT: Oh, and I'd imagine on TV you still hear the commentators and whatnot, so where's the problem? On-site you probably couldn't hear any announcements, which would make it annoying.
problem is that the frequency of the vuvuzela is right about the same frequency of human speech, so its difficult.
Yeah, but the constant drone still gives me a headache after a while, hence I don't like them. They actually make me not want to watch matches because I find them so annoying.
I love the vuvu's. A TV showing football is usually on somewhere in my house, or a loud neighbour's, and that BRRRRRR noise alerts me to said football and stops me from missing it. I only like football when its the world cup, the rest of the time I can't even sit for more than 20 minutes to watch before I get bored. My Girlfriend has just got obsessed with football, most games I miss because I am crying with laughter at just how angry she gets at it.
And if it's so annoying, there's always the option of just not watching the damn thing Go out, take a leather ball with you and kick around. Much more fun. Also that gif really made my day.
I don't quite understand why. If Scotland, Wales or Ireland got through I would be cheering them on, even if England were also in the comp. Now England v any of those teams, that would be a different story.
now that Mars bars have england flags on them is there mass starvation in Scotland? gallons of batter and streets of chip shops going unused...
You have no idea mate its fcking carnage up here. I urge every one to donate heartily £1 will buy a ned enough methanol for a week.... Honestly it's a form of wee man syndrome, trying to differentiate ones self from ones much larger neighbour leads to this all over. Kiwi's for example, would rather see England win the Ashes than the Aussies (well nearly). Personally i think its quite funny so heartily support it. Though there is one thing that bothers me more than Vuvuzela, ever time an English pundit opens his mouth its prefaced with 1966, please it was 40 years ago we know you won well done, now move on.
That's a bit like suggesting Liverpool fans support Manchester Utd in the champions league Plus, on the Scotland/England footies thing, it IS just good hearted banter, just a bit of fun. I do wish they would bring back the home nations games, those were some of the best games outwith the World Cup. And on topic, those bloody horns are annoying as hell, it's as if there is a constant swarm of bees flying around the stadium.
