Now I have to say here that I’m personally not a great fan of football, but when it comes to the World Cup I do occasionally watch a few matches mainly when England play like the other evening against the USA. But I will have to have a gripe here, as the match was rather spoilt by the continued blasting of those devilish Vuvuzela things ruining the entire watchablilty for me and I’m not the only one.
The absolute din from the Vuvuzelas was just way too overpowering, and well according to an article over on NY Daily News, FIFA Word Cup 2010 broadcasters, fans and even the players are demanding that the Vuvuzela be banned from the tournament.
Apparently, Danny Jordaan, the chairman of the World Cup Organising Committee is thinking about a ban and says “It’s something we are evaluating on an ongoing basis.”
Now the thing is if they ban the Vuvuzela from the World Cup 2010, it still leaves the iPhone and the new Vuvuzela application which we reported on earlier (here), so should the World Cup 2010 Organising Committee also issue a ban on the iPhone apps being used during matches?
Apparently the VuVuzela costs $3 in Cape Town and $8 from Amazon while the iPhone app is only $.99, but I do have to say the incredible noise made by thousands of these things going off simultaneously is deafening and completely distracts from what is happening the pitch, so what do you think should the Vuvuzela and the iPhone app be banned from the World Cup?
