And christ isn't it good a person talking about soccer without a grating englander accent? Sounds like a bit of xenophobia there. And more people in NZ play 'soccer' than rugby. |

| 1106791 | 2010-06-28 11:22:00 | You forgot "hung, drawn and slaughtered." It has totally put me off watching the games. Sounds like a swarm of angry bumble bees. Well done to the All Whites. Listening to the Vuvu's on TV is at least better than having to put up with them at the games. There's something wrong with having to wear earplugs to a sporting event and took some of the enjoyment out of it for me. Unfortunately they are everywhere - pubs, malls on the way to the games, at the games and afterwards in the streets. I even heard them inside the Joburg airport when I came home on the weekend. I actually think they took the home advantage away from the African nations as its a constant noise so the cheering for the home team was effectively removed. On the plus side all the fans from different countries really got on well together and you often saw opposing fans get pictures with their opposition. South Africans supported other African nations as well which was nice to see. Everything is football over there - even TV soap operas and adverts have football written into the scripts. I only hope NZ embraces the Rugby WC next year in the same way. But please, no Vuvu's. :-) cheers, Graham |
