BlueStar Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I don't understand how people are still blowing them when someone scores. How do you fight the instinct to throw your hands in the air and cheer, or put your head in your hands? What kind of fan sees their team score or conceed in the World Cup and just continues blowing into a plakker tube like they have been for the past 30 minutes?

Guest je85 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 How someone can defend the Vuvuzela is just madness for me, ruins most of the experience of the game. I seriously got tired of watching the games i have seen because of that shit sound. Was in Sweden on Saturday and watched the Korea and Nigeria game on the telly and in the end i almost muted the fucking sound. That sound is gonna be in peoples ears for months after the WC is over. Really? It's a bit irritating, but after 5 minutes in I hardly notice it's there. People constantly moaning about vuvuzelas is as irritating as the actual bastard trumpets.

Ronaldo Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Aye, because 'fat shirtless geordies' disrupt the atmosphere and enjoyment of the World Cup. Not to mention team cohesion. It's noise for the sake of it and the worthless wankers should join a band if they want to blow horns for 2 hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnonel Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 :lol: Explain the culture behind them please. African games are all about colour, noise, outlandish costumes, etc Thats what we are all about. We Dress in crazy stupid outfits, with big sunglasses and hats etc. We make a noise with our vuvuzela (amongst other instruments). That is what African football is all about. It might not make sense to you. Neither does a man taking 10 wives. Just respect that other countries and their supporters are different than yours.

Jayson Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Id love to know why they dont even bother making some form of pattern or variety with them atleast.

Foluwashola Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Must say, I'm used to the badboys now. It is a bit of a shame that they somewhat prevent a "proper" atmosphere but I'm not going to shit my frenchies over it, it is only for a month Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 No one has a problem with any of that. Especially not noise. The problem is that the manner in which you're making noise is mind numbingly dull & there are better ways to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we enforce a constant, monotonous drone which essentially censors cheering, singing, the sounds of crowd excitement or any other musical instruments!" They make South Africa's support dull. Deathly dull. Thanks to the constant drone you've adopted, your so called "outlandish" support makes the Germans look like Mardi Gras.

It seems to me the people inside the grounds haven't had much experience at football matches, not top quality anyway, and do not understand what an atmosphere should be like and how it should effect the game.
