Will the horns ruin the World Cup?

I found it difficult to watch the ACN without muting the TV. I hope the WC won't be the same, but fear the worst.

You know. I wouldn't mind so much if it was at crucial moments in the game, if it was celebratory etc, but it's just a constant annoying noise which has no bearing on what's happening in the game

The horns are called 'vuvuzelas' according to MOTD on facebook.

Yeah, invented a decade or so ago. As folk have said if they were sounded at specific parts of the game, to celebrate for example then I think everyone could live with it. It's just a constant din which means no relation to what's going on on the park though. They actually tend to stop the noise when a team is on the verge of scoring. How ridiculous is it that things get quiter when the match is at its most exciting?

Hopefully they are banned before too much longer as it'll annoy the life out of me.

Game finished and noise was was exactly the same from the vevuzelas. It's just a constant drone which bears no relation to anything.
