I'm telling you all it's the sound of 20,000 cars being broken into outside the stadium!

I hated it when watching the confederations cup and I still hate it, watching the game on tv I want to hear the commentators not some fucking horn in the background.

It might just be because of the fact that it is one of the most annoying sounds anyone's ever heard.

Oh and the fact that it is bad for your hearing.

I too am also looking forward to the 300 flares lighting up the barbed wire fences surrounding the Maracana holding 300k people, despite the fire code only allowing for 3k people and 10 goats. The half time entertainment will consist of guessing which bay will be charged by the riot police.

most stupid thing ever invented i would say by the end of the would cup people will be excited just not to hear that noise associated with football ever again.

its rediculous. id rather hear a cat get strangled than those stupid horns.

i just hope the commentary booths are sound proof enough so i cant hear too much of the noise. (but i doubt it)

Calm down, those things are more an issue of public safety.

Vuvuzelas, on the other hand, are expressions of excitement :p

:-s Vuvuzela's are an issue of public safety.

Reports from Pretoria University have proven that being subjected to prolonged periods of noise from Vuvuzela's reduces a persons ability to hear.

Blow when your team has a dig/scores or when the other team is lining up a pen sure.

The fact that it's constant throughout the game is what most puts me off it.

Nay.

It baffles me that some people outside of South Africa watching it on TV seem to approve of it even though they don't like them.

I think they should be used for South African home games, but ban them for the rest.

I haven't seen the polls yet, but I'm sure a great majority of football fans worldwide dislike them.
