I encourage a bit of local tradition and its nice to see a bit of different cultures but I hope to god they mute the hell out of the horns on the tv, I read that they can be up to 3 foot in length :blink: very dangerous things in the hands of a football thug in a stadium :rolleyes:

I honestly thought when I read it, that Topman meant the endless and repetitive critique of the England team on this MB - coming mainly from Belfast rolleyes.gifunsure.gif

You would appear to be mistaken. -_-

Have to say I thought the same thing too though. :D

Cheers. There's a few I chosen which I'm a bit unsure about (mainly the groups where any team has a fairly good chance of going through) but I still think there is a good chance of them happening. I've also placed a free £5 bet on the England USA game so hopefully I'll make my money back from that anyway.

I'm getting seriously excited about the World Cup now. As I mentioned in an earlier post, more because of the tournament as a spectacle than the opportunity of watching England or thinking we have a realistic shot of winning it. However, I'm even finding myself excited about our opening game. If we win that, we'll top our group, so it's a big one.

My World Cup has been ruined after only two games by the sound of those stupid horns!I cannot stand that noise for a whole month.It is like a huge swarm of bees round a hive.I had to turn the sound off in the opening game as it was ruining the spectacle.The chants and roars of a crowd are part of the excitement of a match but that racket drowns out any atmosphere. it is tuneless and banal.Am I alone in this?

Dont forget that the kick off times are an hour ahead of GMT!

I've turned the sound off too. Looking forward to seeing games in pubs now where there will be some atmosphere, I can't handle these bloody horns.

Hopefully they'll realise what a horrible atmosphere it's creating and restrict their use, we can't have a tournament full of this.

I disagree, If the S African's like it (which they obviously do!) then why should they be removed just because foreigners who watch on TV don't like it? It's S Africa, not England so why should they have to do what we do at Footy games?

If we were told not to do something in our own country that we all liked doing... there would be uproar!

If ever proof were needed that the tournament would be much better if held in this country after seeing so many empty seats...........

The games would all be fully attended by our immigrant communities/neutral fans/easier for foreign fans to attend due to our better infrastructure......

The mosquito drones would be absent allowing those fans to bring their own "ethnic noise" to the games..........

What a shame.........

I think the anti-vuvuzela sentiment is hilarious.

"Ban them". Brilliant.

It's nothing to do with us. Get used to it or prepare to be very annoyed for the next month.

I said restrict their use, not ban. It would be nice to hear the crowd for a change, one of the things I like about World Cups is that each match usually has a fairly unique atmosphere because of the different ways nations support their teams. With these each match is the same, just a constant buzzing noise.

Obviously South Africans could do whatever they want in their games, but maybe they shouldn't be allowed to do it as much during other matches.

It's not going to annoy me that much as I'll be watching all our games in a pub (or tonight - giant screen at a festival!) so there will be an atmosphere, but it is spoiling my enjoyment of these opening games.
