What started out as a fun way to express your excitement for the World Cup, the Vuvuzela has got everybody talking again and this time its not about the great spirit it is showing from fans.
The bee-like noise of the Vuvuzela has been echoing throughout all of the World Cup stadiums since the opening ceremony and what at first showed spirit and enthusiasm towards the game are now starting to irritate spectators and fans alike.
Danny Jordaan, South Africa’s World Cup organising chief said that they may start banning Vuvuzela’s from inside stadium due to a high number of complaints from viewers and broadcasters.
Vuvuzela is still a trending topic on Twitter but not a positive one anymore, users on the popular social networking site are complaining about the noise of the Vuvuzela and are asking for its ban, some even calling it the most annoying sound of 2010.
The captain of the French Football team,Patrice Evra, has even blamed the Vuvuzela for their poor performance on their opening match against Uruguay. ”We can’t sleep at night because of the vuvuzelas,” Evra said. “People start playing them from 6 a.m.”
Clearly the Vuvuzela is causing some bad publicity for the South African hosted World Cup, with most overseas viewers asking for its ban.
Whats your opinion? Do you think the Vuvuzela should be banned from World Cup matches? Please leave us comment and tell us what you think.
Well the vuvuzela made its debut here in nairobi two weekes ago at the Safaricom safari Sevens rugby tournament and it was a isaster. You could not here the stadium music and announcements, youo could not hear the refs whistle and could hardly hear each other talk. Even worse was the fact that the crowd forgot to cheer and chant the usual songs that have come to characterise the event.
Ban the damn thing!
