That noise completely destroys any enjoyment of the game for me. I've not been watching because of it.

It's barely tolerable - but hasn't kept me from watching.

It drowns out the neanderthals all going "muuhn um ug ah hugh um hugh" at least
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I know I'm an easily irritated arse with a short fuse, but I have done my best to try and ignore them - I really thought I would get used to them, but they've just got worse and worse. My wife is going to throw me out of the house if I don't fuck up complaining.
The last straw was yesterday's Holland match. When Kuyt scored, there was a barely audible little crescendo of girly cheers from the crowd which were quickly drowned out by a ratcheting up of the wail of plastic trumpets (I refuse to call them Vuvuzelas because it gives them some kind of cultural credence) - Kuyt's joy was met with pure unemotion. At that point this World Cup died for me - I have now switched off and written it off as a pathetic aberration. I console myself with the thought that the 2014 tournament in Brazil should be wonderful, and after waiting eight years rather than the usual four my enjoyment and anticipation will be even more enhanced.
World Cup 2010 RIP.

It's alway nice to see the samba at the Brazil games. I say see, because I couldn't fucking hear it!
