I say there needs to be MORE noise. I want the announcers to be drowned out. I want them to have to scream into the mics as they do on choice Monday Night Football gmes.

that would require players to have mics+radiotransmitters to talk to each other, but this aint american hand-ovoid with helmetss and timeouts and commerical interruptions, the only "technology" is maybe in the construction of the shoes

i love to hear the fans cheer and beat on drums and sing and when i go to a stadium i do a fair amount of yelling myself but these trumpets are just plain stupid-- they stand for nothing.

Well FIFA plans no ban on the vuvuzela, they're here to stay. Perhaps in the latter stages they will lessen unless of course many African teams advance.
I still prefer the singing.

maybe your broadcasters are filtering them too? check the audio settings.

South Africa got hammered 3-0 by Uruguay last night, which means they're on the verge of getting kicked out of the World Cup meaning no more twats blowing vuvuzelas.

The vuvuzelas can be heard pretty much in every game...

inventor of the vuvuzela speaks
 
"You guys don't understand my Vuvuzela."

Freddie 'Saddam' Maake, the supposed inventor of the vuvuzela speaks.

"It's scandalous how belittling people speak about it! It does make for atmosphere, the African atmosphere. ... Oh, all that whining. We don't ask you to stop drinking or singing during a match in Europe, do we?"

Saddam doesn't own the right on the vuvuzela. "Neil van Schalkwyk has set up a cooperation with a German company and is selling them here. He's making tons and look at me." (Saddam lives in a small house in the township of Tembisa) "Ourageous. I only ever got 2500 rand (about 260 euro)

Saddam tries everything to still make some money out of his invention. He puts a CD in our hands 'Vuvuzela Saddam Maake, Volume II. "De prettiest vuvuzela tunes, he says with a serious face. I also sing on it. Worth it. 150 rand" (16 euro)

At the parting, Maake coolly writes a bill for 600 rand for the interview.
CD not included.

honestly it doesn't bother me much, but i haven't watched a single full game yet.

Rob Instigator 06.17.2010 09:17 AM

yes!

i read that.

it is quite annoying indeed... i don't watch any games but a bar down the street shows every game and i can still hear it with my windows closed. no cheering or commentators, just this buzz all day.
