Although it's great that manufacturers of novelty football paraphernalia want to give supporters something to cheer their favorite teams on, the Vuvuzela is perhaps one of the most deafening instruments ever to have been played at the world cup, they really ought to be banned or only blown into once the match begins then once a goal is scored, but to have them blasting throughout the entire game, just brings about anxiety in the players you can tell that they are already under enough pressure without having to listen to that dreaded monotone sound that is worse than a street full of car horns blazing away!
For anyone in the stadium, the noise must surely be agitating? - From my sofa, the sound is pretty horrific after half an hour, so I have no idea how no one in the arena has yet become tone deaf or at least hard of hearing. Like anyone, it's nice to get into the spirit of something and especially in the situation in which our players our representing our country, but does it have to mean at the expense of turning the volume down on the television?

The Vuvuzela broke emotions of World cup , without songs and chants of real fans football is nothing. Vuvuzela also stole the happiness of millions TV viewers in all over the world. And here I want to ask FIFA , why banned fireworks and flags when they make real football atmosphere but not banned stupid Vuvuzela?!?
And I repeat Vuvuzela destroy this World Cup - 2010 I really sorry for that :(
Sorry for bad english!

I didn't say that Chants and fireworks etc were spoilers - only this particular instrument that I agree has broke emotions, but also has created a lot of complaints, mine is just one in a vast line. World cup stadiums used to be brimming full in other era's, players are often relegated to other teams so this has had a huge impact upon the population of football supporters regardless of what instruments have been played in recent times.
My brother plays for Celtic and although the players welcome full support, it can also cause them to have increased anxiety if the auditorium becomes packed full of agitators - the Vuvezela would simply be banned here in the UK simply because football managers demand their players have acute concentration and why there are debates at the moment as to whether under-achievement is likely because of the added pressures of performance-pay as well as uncontrolled levels of over excited support.
No one has to agree with what I think, that isn't my objective here, but to come at it from the angle of how players genuinely feel about it all, which I am sure that some don't even if some of them do.
