Low Scoring World Cup

Still avoiding it. What does it suggest to you when a mass of people attend a match and see it fit to put all their effort into constantly, without interruption, drowning out everything else with one singular noise? Does it suggest any particular interest in the particulars of the game? Does it suggest anything more than casual focus on the proceedings of the game?
You're the lunatic mate.
Why do you think they do it? Honest question. What's your theory?
You'd have to ask them. The onus isn't on me to provide an answer to that one.

But your not simply claiming the above. You equated a few people blowing plastic trumpets with South Africans as a people being unworthy to host the World Cup.
I don't know if you've seen much sat on your sofa, but most people in the stadiums are not blowing vuvuzelas. So even if you were correct in your ludicrous assumption that vuvuzelas players don't like football, your conclusion that the entire country is unfit to host the tournament is just bizarre.
That's a surprising answer from you, to be honest. You already seem to be imputing all kinds of reasons onto their behaviour. This is just one more.
You really think that people have to put 'all their effort' into blowing a plastic horn?
What the hell are you, some kind of easily distracted amoeba with attention deficit disorder?
It doesn't suggest anything to me other than someone watching a game, blowing a horn. Seeing as you're not there, don't have any added insight, it's a wonder why you think you can play mystic meg into people's motivations and attention levels. Barking

I said it was a poor choice on FIFAs part. Seeing how much this behaviour is celebrated. It's also fairly despicable that Fifas president has insisted on keeping these cheap mass-produced pieces of shit under the claim that it's in keeping with South African culture when they allegedly make about 10 rand for each of them sold. There is so much musical tradition that could be exposed in this tournament and all we get it is a thuggish din for a month.
This isn't just a case of people "watching a game, blowing a horn". There has so far not been a second of the World Cup without it. It is such an extreme instance that it merits the criticism.
In what way is it not part of their footballing culture? South African football fans blow the vuvuzela at games, it's what they do and what they, evidently, enjoy doing.
Nice attempt at using multiculturaism to mask your small-mindedness, btw.

Fuck it, it's fine.
Anything gives me the horn. The word "and" gives me the horn. If I hear somebody say "this and that" I get such a fucking hard on.
It's not enough that the horns are irritating, now the debate about the horns is irritating too.

engage? when in your very first sentence you call people 'utter twats'? then go on to spout more utter shit that is completely offensive?
and yet people did try and engage with you, only to get incoherent abuse as a result.
i'm starting to think you need professional help.
That's exactly what it is you goon. People blowing horns, no more or less.
Gawd knows why you feel that someone blowing a horn entitles you to pronouce them not a 'passionate' fan or to pass judgment on their inferior motivations for going to a game
The last sentence quoted is of course a lie. At least based on the knowledge you or I have
Quote from Blatter: "To answer all your messages regarding vuvuzelas, I have always said Africa has a different rhythm, a different sound."
Clearly suggestive of a more in-built cultural tradition. Which it plainly isn't.
Nothing incoherent. I've spelt it out repeatedly. All you've done is avoid my question time and time again. That's why you're a twat, alright?

what question? you fucking loon.
It's not plainly anything, not that your quote has any relevance to your claims or the thread in general.
What is it with you and this daftness. You're flailing around trying to find anything or anyone that even vaguely supports your view that vuvuzela blowing equals disrespectful, arrogant and less passionate fans.

It certainly isn't disrespectful, no.
Or what? You'll flap about and aggressively spout even more loonspuddery?
Thankyou. Can I come along to your next football match and spend the whole time running around blowing an air horn into your fucking ear then? That's some ultra respect right there.

I've already said, I think it's fine, and why.
IT'S NEITHER YOU FLAPJACK
There is nothing innately (dis)respectful about blowing a horn, nor does exhaling into a plastic tube seriously affect the ability of the vast majority of people to be engaged and enthiastic about something.
It's a stupid, false question. Now are you going to do us a courtesy and show us the mechanism by which you conclude that blowing a plastic horn invariably leads to those fans being less passionate or more arrogant.

Why would you be running around? You planning on actually playing at the same time as blowing on a vuvuzela? That would be pretty fucking awesome.
