I think that the WC organisers touted the fucking vuvuzelas too much and now we suddenly have this vuvuzela pride that hadn't ever existed before. Yes they were present at matches in the past but not to the extent that it drowned out singing and cheers. There's really NO traditional African or South African feel to it, it's just an annoying sound and if it carries on, Africa's first WC will be remembered for nothing other than a lot of noise with footballers and supporters alike complaining about the crazy, tuneless buzzing. Is that really what we wanted from this World Cup? Personally, I was hoping people would see how fabulous our country was, how friendly the people, how amazing the atmosphere... but instead we're going to get a bunch of tourists and players leaving the country with a vuvuzela-induced headache, a little bit of deafness in each ear and plenty of disgruntled complaints about how: "If that's South African culture then they can bloody well keep it to themselves."
Seriously where are THESE people?! These are the REAL South African football supporters, this is the REAL spirit of the South African football. But we can't hear them because they're being drowned out by the bloody vuvuzelas.

I know the feeling! The vuvuzela craziness has arrived to Portugal as well. Fortunately, not too much on my street!
