Have you ever been to a football match outside Tasmania ?

Is this a real article? I'm a little sceptical of it's authenticity.
I can't beleive a player would bag their own fans in an inaugural WC for the country. Especially since most of the crowd was wearing yellow and were obviously supporting them. Seems like a beat up. Unless he's just a jerk :-k

I don't care what fozz says how wonderful he thinks they are.. the droning/buzzing noise is annoying for us unlucky enough to watch it on tele (or fortunate enough if yer like me who hasn't got a tv haha)

It was loud enough, maybe he was surprised that he could actually hear his teammate calling for the ball.

that was a fantastic atmosphere last night imo, and the vuvuzelas just made it 1,000 times better, i wish i'd got one

no one wants to hear david basheer and kev muscat anyway.

i agree, they need to be louder...

im going to get my mates together and also blow our vuvuzelas so the whole world can have the atmosphere.

Shit all i could hear was those fucking things!

Is he deaf? FFS.

Khune: Vuvuzelas weren't loud enough

South Africa goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune has described the atmosphere in the opening game of the World Cup as a "letdown" and urged local fans to make more noise with their vuvuzelas in the country's remaining two group games.

After a lavish opening ceremony, South Africa drew 1-1 with Mexico in a game that introduced the noisy vuvuzela to a global audience, with just less than 85,000 fans in attendance at Soccer City.

But Khune, who made a number of good saves throughout the game in Johannesburg, complained that South Africa did not have the backing they expected from the home supporters.

"We couldn't hear the vuvuzelas," Khune said. "We expected to hear them and to be lifted by the people and the noise and the atmosphere. It was a letdown.

"It was very disappointing for us. It was very surprising. We thought there were going to be a lot more South African fans there.

"The atmosphere was not that good. It was not what we expected. There were a lot of Mexican fans there. It was like a Mexico home game. It was a Mexican advantage."

South Africa's second group game comes against Uruguay, who drew 0-0 with France on Friday night, and Khune wants the home support to be louder in order to tip the balance in the favour of Bafana Bafana.

"We have to hope that more of them come out when we play Uruguay," Khune said. "We need it. We need their support. When a team plays at home in a World Cup it should have an advantage. You expect that.

"But we didn't have it and it is because the South African people didn't buy tickets. It does make a difference. It lifts the team when you need it. When it is a very close game there are many times when you need a lift. It could have helped us today."
