Another view from South Africa (via the BBC website):
"If anyone tells you it's a denial of true South African football culture to denigrate the vuvuzela, they're talking big heaps of rhinoshit.
They're only used at matches in SA to make it sound like there's a crowd. Most SA Premier League matches are held in big stadia attended by 2 men and a zebra unless Chiefs / Pirates are playing (think Old Firm, and only a little less stabby). And most people in SA hate them too."
Hmm. National culture, eh?
And the players are complaining that it makes it impossible to hear each other on the pitch - a certain Messi was particularly vociferous about his - you know he is the by all accounts incredibly polite and gracious world's best player.
