The world cup is an international celebration of the worlds most popular game.
About 32 counties have sent teams this year to South Africa and billions of aficionados watch the spectacle. Soccer has never been popular in the US but even here there are quite a few interested people.
Unfortunately, the South Africans have discovered a plastic horn that emits a loud noise not unlike that of a bee, a very large bumble bee type. So loud is this noise ( louder than a jack hammer I am told ) that the players are bothered, the anouncers can hardly be heard and the spectators themselves must be nearly deafened.
Some of these spectators may not like to be subjected to this and their option would be to not attend the games. We notice a good number of empty seats at the venues.
The worst part of the horns is that seem very popular with the cretinous fans and many millions of these horns are being purchased all over the world. It seems likely that all soccer games world wide will be subjected to this racket. The popularity of futbol ( That's what is called all over the world except here ) is going to be seriously impackted. Maybe the world futball authorities will ban it.

We watched the game between Australia and Germany; my comment to Carlos, before I knew what was making the hellish racket, was that it sounded like a very loud fog horn. My guess is that folks are buying these ridiculous gadgets as mementos.
