Whenever I turn on the TV to watch the games, they sound like a swarm of bees.

I doubt there are nationalists in here. All started with a critics of football (which everyone has the right to do) until you began with your "eurotrash" talk. That was enough to welcome dildito aka T-Fan into this discussion. If you don´t like football (soccer is just the wrong term, sorry) or don´t understand it, avoid the topic. I´m not discussing American football and baseball threads either because I don´t care about these sports.

They don't add much to the games, as you said there's no difference between one game and the next. Quite annoying too.

The Vuvuzela are staying according to the news :o(

I guess its going to help identify this World Cup but they are more annoying than Pompey's ringing bells !

I just turn the volume down. This also has the added benefit of meaning you don't have to listen to the commentators, who are almost as annoying as the vulva-blowers.

the commentators fail to realize that a large portion of their audience are not regular fans. Dumb down the game a little bit and give us some insight into the game.

for all the... well the one other vuvuzela fan here who speaks german
YouTube- Lass die Finger von der Vuvuzela

ripping into the opposition is part of the fun in world cups

How bad did Portugal look... amazingly poor play... Home Team plays at 230... don't know how we're going to add the 6th star... might be difficult to rearrange on the jersey...

Right on. I get the feeling North Korea is going to get spanked hard. I like how they're coming in as the mysterious underdogs though/ From the coach it sounds like they will try to attack hard and surprise but we'll see. What a fucking upset if they beat Brazil.

They were equal opponents in this game. I was not impressed by Brazil.
