MattF Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Game finishes 1-1, which means I have 1 point in the pick-em. Hooray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsketor Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 And what a chance by South Africa towards the end, but the goalpost had other ideas. Many thanks to Discrimihater for making the sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Mexico should have had this game.Both teams should be disappointed they don't walk away with 3 points, more so with South Africa. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 They should mute all noises from the broadcasts except for the announcers. Those damn vuvuzelas are killing me. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Maybe its because its South Africa playing, but I'm not hating the vuvuzelas as much as I did last summerThat was the reason.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yeah the vuvuzelas are starting to bug me. Really bad.Like I could stand it for the South Africa game, because that's their schtick. But even in that game, when South Africa scored, the noise level never went up. It was just a constant buzz. There was no resounding "YEAH!" really showing they scored. They just kept blowing those things.FIFA should have stepped up like they were considering and make it only for the South Africa games. I don't know if I can do a full month of that.Hell, I'm curious as to how the players feel about that? Always playing with this constant buzz? Does it annoy them, or do they not even notice? | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 It's tradition and it always has been long before the Confederations Cup and World Cup came to South Africa.They're annoying but get used to them, They'll be at every match.

Does it annoy them, or do they not even notice?They weren't banned because FIFA heeded the South African federation's call for them "not to Europeanize an African World Cup." So yeah, the vuvuzelas are there to stay. The players are hit-or-miss. Some like it, some don't care, then some are like Xabi Alonso and called for a ban. I say keep em, if you want an authentic African World Cup, then you've gotta roll with the punches and the Vuvuzelas are one of the punches. I suppose a ban on the vuvuzelas would've been like telling the South Korean fans not to bring thundersticks to the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subi Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Since I live in a country which is nowhere near good enough to qualify, I have no idea who I will be cheering for. Maybe I'll jump on the Dutch bandwagon.You can always go for the U.S.Canada's PantsI would like to see the US do fairly well in the tournament, as well as all the other CONCACAF countries, but I don't think I could bring myself to actually cheer for them as "my" team. That being said, after sleeping on it, I am hereby officially on the Dutch bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least those sound exciting. These sound like a sad, dying elephant. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Henry on for Annelka? France really are happy with just a drawEDIT: Now, Malouda on for Gourcuff, seriously what the is Domenech doingEDITX2: Malouda is a good player, but if you're gonna bring him on this late, don't bring him on for another player who could help you score....
