Please please please BAN them - I can't bear to watch the football when all I can hear is that awful buzz!!!

BAN THESE ANNOYING ,NOISE ,IRRITATING ,GERM SPREADING, CAN'T TELL WHOS BLOWING FOR WHO OR WHAT PURE NOTHING BUT RUIN THE GAME NOISE MAKERS AND CHEER!!!! YOUR TEAM ON BY VOICE AND BANNERS.

"It's part of soccer culture there, banning it will go down very badly with SA soccer fans. Those wanting it banned are in for a fight if they keep pushing for it."

Who cares, they completely ruin any sort of worthwhile atmosphere. Ban them, throw them all on a fire and never speak of them again. They're an abomination. It may not go down well with SA football fans but to bad, it won't go down with any of the other teams fans inbthe tournament if all you can hear is ridiculous and completely pointless buzzing from cheap plastic horns. There is no justification of them whatsoever. If they were blown with some sort ofr relevance to what was going on on the pitch then they would be slightly more tollerable, but they aren't.

Vuvuzelas themselves are not the problem.

The problem is that they are handing them out for free.

It is too late to ban them now as the authorities gave out a shed-load when South Africa hosted the Confederations Cup earlier this year.

So even if they ban them now, there are already thousands of them in circulation.

BANstick for these bad, awful sounding things. Use your voice.

Ban

Let them have them for South Africa games and the rest, BAN BAN BAN, they create the worst atmosphere ever. They just blow them with no relevance to the game.

Just let sky know that it'll drop there viewing numbers, and they'll be banned so quick ;)

Personally I hate the things, no issues with drums or similiar, but can't stand any horn instrument.

Every time I hear the word culture I reach for my revolver. Who would of thought that Africa would be cheap, plastic and tackey.? Here comes the BUZZY BEE. Cant wait for Brasil 2014 then we can all see a real football culture. You all whites better make that party.

i heard a rumour that they werent exactly authentic and wikipedia seems to back it up. check it out...

Vuvuzelas have been said to be rooted in African history, but this is disputed.[5] People would blow on a kudu horn to call villagers to a meeting.[1] Adding to the appeal is African folklore that "A baboon is killed by a lot of noise." During the last quarter of a match, supporters blow vuvuzelas frantically in an attempt to "kill off" their opponents.[6][7] While such folklore has been attached to this instrument, the fact that it only truly became widely used after Neil van Schalkwyk, the co-owner of Masincedane Sport won the SAB KickStart Award in 2001, could indicate that this link has been contrived.
