It is from the Vuvuzela, a horn used by native South Africans in war. It is crazy annoying huh?

It's very different when you are there...most American's can't even begin to fathom the energy in the stadium at a soccer match.

Things aren't looking good for the U.S.; we have been completely outclassed all match. Sigh.

Now Crouch is on, you may well be right.

We'll take the draw...should lock us in to move on...

England made a mistake with the team selection, we forgot to bring a goalkeeper. Instead we have Rob Green by name and Green by nature, who forgets he is in goal and it is his job to stop the ball going in the goal! And, David 'Calamity' James, who can be brilliant or complete rubbish.

It is going to be a hard period qualifying for England, unless we get a little magic from someone.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? And we so damned near won outright, that barely-deflected strike was a heartbreaker. Of course, we didn't really earn the goal we DID get, so it all evens out :-)

Engkand also benefitted from a pretty flagrant non-call at the top of the penalty box -- last time I checked the rules, preventing your opponent from running onto the ball by reaching out your arm and hitting him in the face with your elbow and knocking him down was considered a violation.

The US played well enough to deserve the point even though it was on a gift. This might bode well for the US to come out of the group on top. If they wind up tied in points with England you have to like their chances on goal differential.

As pointed out, that is the sound of the Vuvuzela. There are usually thousands of them blowing at any given moment during the match (even though one is enough to be heard through the stadium). But the ones they use nowadays aren't the 'traditional' war horns (those were made from actual antelope horns), they're simply cheap plastic imitations:


Judging from the rate I've seen the tourists picking them up here at the airport and the games, I can guarantee you that they won't remain confined to South Africa after this World Cup is over. I can just imagine vuvuzelas being trumpeted at the next FA Cup final at Wembley (!)

damned Vuvuzela, uffff a nuisance. on the match, the score a surprise, england a bit disappointing(I don't think that is a really competitor for the best teams). USA an honest match, need 5 points for the surprise....

doubtful, these things are hardly new, i used to play with one when i was a kid like 15 years ago. Just not the USA cheering style.
