My view is they are ok but you can not hear the crowd because these things block out every other sound surely that not a good thing long term for the game.
Maybe a corner of the ground but not the whole groud and not constant as you can't hear people cheering their own teams on.

Carpediem THIS IS EXACTLY THE POINT!!!!!!
To me atmosphere is a culmination of all noises, the players when they are close to microphones
the fans cheering and chanting
drums
air horns
commentry
you can hear everything in a normal match
here you can only hear the buzz, i tried listening to it on the radio whilst driving home and it was just static witht he odd word from the commentators getting through
It really wouldnt surprise me if this is the least watched world EVER and will never return to Africa because of the VUVEZELA

Quote:Trumpeter John Hemmingham, who is leading an eight-man team in South Africa, said the plastic instruments were part of the local culture and should not be banned from stadiums.
"It's the way the South Africans express their joy and pleasure at the tournament being here," said Hemmingham. "It's certainly a challenge for us but there's no point whinging about it."
Some people have complained the noise from the vuvuzelas has stopped fans from generating chants around the ground.
But Hemmingham, who was at Saturday's game between England and the United States in Rustenburg, revealed: "We didn't have any problem.
"The fans around us were all singing along and a lot of our fans were joining in with us using their vuvuzelas. It all added to the atmosphere.
who said the world isnt watching......seems its only a minority over here that aint watching....its like saying when we host the world cup, traveling fans saying that the louts singing was annoying and it should be banned....its what they do, so let them, its all in the spirit of fun:biggrin:
