Viewers can't hear ball kicks. They drown out supporters' songs. Players can't communicate well because of the noise.

I don't know, it is a bit overwhelming true, but when it mixes with the regular horns and the intense drumming, the US/UK game was the first to keep me on my feet for its entirety in a LONG time, and I think the drums and vuvuzela played a major role in that, it kept me marching forward like the Nyahbinghi drumming keeps ini heart straight forth trodding along the kings i-ghway..
I say keep em, all countries have their annoying and loud futbol traditions, this is just the Africans. and since when was this kind of plastic horn uniquely african? We used to blow the SHIT out of those things during parades and american football games back in the day, honestly I was surprised to see all the negative feedback to something that was already quite familiar to me long before the world cup publicity.
