Jabulani/Vuvuzelas

[Kingsbridge Saint]

What a joy it has been to see the new football season start with proper footballs and recognisable crowd noises. Brings home how sh1t the World Cup was really. Blatter really needs to retire.

I agree that Blatter needs to retire, but I don't think you can blame the Vuvuzelas on him That's a tad harsh.

The only way you'll see the likes of Blatter leaving FIFA is leaving it in a coffin.

The Vuvzelas were particularly South African and were rightly at the games. But not 20k-50k of them at once. That just ruined it. To me the best noise at a game is the building up of an expectant roar which is then capped off with a goal. With the WC I never once heard the increasing crescendo of a roar followed by the "goal" roar. Just that damned swarm of hornets.
