2010 Soccer World Cup
So whose going? Im finding it a lot easier to get tickets in this phase. Applied on Friday (online) and got notification of success today. Phase 3 was a different story, but I was successful there none-the-less. Well partially cos I was downgraded. But anyway, I cant wait.

DSTV...tyvm.
As much as I'd love to go, the prospect of having my head blown off by some fanatic vuvuzela carrier sitting behind me, or in my general vicinity - is just too discouraging.

It irritates me enough watching international football on TV and hearing those vuvuzelas going all match. I think I might be tempted toward some actual violence if I was in the stadium.

Did you even watch any of the Confederations Cup? Can you imagine what it would be like sitting in the stadium? It gives me a headache just thinking of it.ADT wrote:Sojourn wrote:DSTV...tyvm.

I don't watch gemors...I'd rather watch UEFA cup or premier league

Re: 2010 Soccer World Cup
We have had a team build exercise at the office, soccer themed where these vuvu's were handed out.
I left early. The headache came with me.
At the recent S14 game Lions vs Stormers some poor non-thinking guy was merily blowing away (for the 10th+ time even with people complaining around him) when his "instrument" was accosted and flung over the railing.
We all cheered

Re: 2010 Soccer World Cup
I can't believe there is so much apathy and animosity towards this event.
Its the world cup people, and its in your country, and you complain because of some trumpets...it just does NOT compute...

To be perfectly fair, they're highly irritating trumpets.GreyWolf wrote:I can't believe there is so much apathy and animosity towards this event.

Re: 2010 Soccer World Cup
those trumpets are capable of causing permanent hearing damage - so subjecting yourself to the noise they make is even more foolhardy than ignoring that noiseand you complain because of some trumpets
as for wearing earplugs - its uncomfortable to my ears - i will probably give it a miss to go and watch live if im forced to wear earplugs

Re: 2010 Soccer World Cup
"barbaric".... quite a strong term
be that as it may, there may be matches where there may not be vuvuzelas...

Re: 2010 Soccer World Cup
On topic again...
Seems ticket sales are going very well according to news24.

As for the the vuvuzela's, its part of the atmosphere. I dont mind it, but ima buy ear plugs just in case. Soccer City may be crazy.
