it's just that it can disturb communication for both parties.
I was watching The Netherland's first game on and off. If I didn't check at the moment they scored, I wouldn't have known. The vuvuzelas do NOT go any louder or softer when a good action is shown or when someone scores (only if it is against South Africa so I hope they lose their last game in a humiliation fashion). The commentator for that game dislikes The Netherlands so he too talked very monotonuously which ment there was absolutely no animo ON the field (vuvuzelas being the same tone all the time) and OFF the field (commentator displaying no emotions).
When "non-African" (broad generalisation) supporters are "at work" they sing and dance and at least cheer loudly for a good action or a goal. Nothing monotone about that!
They interviewed one of the two "inventors" of that thing and he said that we should respect their way of celebrating and that they (in return) do not ask that we stop dancing and singing... at least that dancing and singing barely lasts the full 90 minutes and at least goes easier on the ears!
It surprises me African football fans aren't deaf.

I really don't think anybody will actually blame the vuvuzela's for a loss, it's just that it can disturb communication for both parties. About the home field advantage, they use the vuvuzela at every match not just S.Africa's. I'm sure any other team at the tournament could do without the vuvuzela's.
I know.
I just think that a team can get past the horns and still play as well. It happens in every sport.
Re: Vuvuzelas! Ban them or not.

Anyone who has been watching the World cup games might have noticed this constant drone of Vuvuzelas from the croud, which is causing some debates.The main Argument for them is that it is the tradition of the country hosting the World Cup so they should be tolerated.
The arguments against are the way they spoil the atmosphere of the game for viewers who are used to hearing cheers and "woo woo´s" during the game, as well as chants and singing. Some of the players have said they can´t hear what their team mates are saying or the referee.
What do you think?

Might as well ban drums, and even crowd cheering/shouting and clapping as well.How about holding the World Cup in Korean Republic next?
That seems logical for you.
WTF are you on about, cheering, chanting and the odd drum doesn´t cause a constant annoying drone which drowns out the whole friggin arena does it.
The last world cup was held in S.Korea and Japan. Brazil is next1
