Live with it. Vuvuzelas are catching on and will wend their way to Europe and have already arrived in USA. Here you can buy them in your team colors or flag colors. Look at the travelling fans. They all have their vuvuzelas in their team colors. I for one love the things and love a noisy stadium as long as it is not that awful European singing. What are those songs anyway? Nursery rhymes, beers songs, anthems?

Please NO!! Please keep that swarm of killer bees away from the USA!! -- are these things going to soon be taking over baseball games and filling basketball arenas? I promise to enjoy every last word of every last awful European song - just keep all of those horns on the eastern side of the Atlantic.

Vuvuzelas have been around forever. I don't remember soccer matches without these, at least in South America and Mexico. First I ever heard these was Azteca stadium in Mexico 70. No one seems to remember these from back then.

Originally posted by scacchipazzoThey might catch on in the USA but then there might be reasons for that, eh? Baseball and basketball are hardly big in the UK, maybe there's an issue of cultural compatability to take into consideration. If you pulled out a vuvuzela on the terraces at my club you'd end up needing surgery to remove it.

I hate those horns, they make the soundscape annoying and monotonous. Of course there is the mute option but the sound coming from thousands of fans usually adds to the atmosphere.
Superb goal, outrageous red card, huge drop from the goalie or the most boring match this side of the millennium? -it all sounds like this in the WC2010 transmissions:
Originally posted by Svin1Tender ears, eh? Prefer the awful singing? It's a simple droning noise like so many giant bees buzzing about the stands. Notice how the visitors have embraced the vuvuzelas and sport them in their national colors. I'm gonna buy one and bring it to the next baseball game I attend. Since Norway is not in the cup, who do you root for?

Originally posted by scacchipazzoYes, I prefer the [horrible] singing, hooing, booing and what have you over that awful noise. I wouldn't mind vuvuzelas at all if people only blew them when something happened. Fog-horns is an integral part of every european match and those sound very much like a vuvuzela, only nobody use them all the friggin time!

I'm Danish but you won't catch me rooting for the national team, I hope some African team takes it home 😉
Originally posted by Svin1Sorry about confusing your flag. I guess you're right. The incessant manner in which it's used is unappealing. Guess you can root for whomever you like. I favor Italy although they don't look like they'll go far. Not a single African team has looked good so far. Maybe they'll straighten out. Ghana is about the only one with a decent chance and maybe CIV. Hard not to like Denmark since they played their hearts out despite loss. Luckily for Egger he's not Colombian!
