BUt that's it right there, we (Chelsea fans) felt hard done, but that's the game. The ref is part of the game you have to deal with and with all my complaining and putting down the ref I totally enjoyed that game, the arguments over the non calls or the calls we felt that should not have been made made the game into something different for me. Knowing that the game went perfect or almost perfect because or technology will take a lot out of the game for me as there will leave very littl eof the human element. let stuff like what happen between Brazil and Egypt happen, nothing wrong with that. It creates rivalries, drives passion and leave some in bits and other overflowing. I truly believe with technological introduction into the game the game will lose a lot of appeal. No ne wants to watch the perfect football game.

Well first of all there's no proof that technology played a part in the ref's decision, based on the latest reports- same tiefin' Egypt tief everybody head wid an accusation, and man buyin' it wholesale.

Secondly I'm speculating of course, but if Chelsea had one of those pk shouts turned around in the same manner as Brazil on Monday, I eh think yuh woulda be complaining...In fact I'll go as far as to say yuh woulda be biggin' up technology.

Jus say yuh doh like Brazil nuh

What a display by SA, is really street ball going on. THey really hustled and did not allow NZ any time and space on the ball. Very good application of tactics by SA. It was fun and enjoyable to watch. It remided me of T&t vs Mexico.

You're link is dead...Anyway...

By Mark Gleeson

RUSTENBURG, South Africa, June 17 (Reuters) - FIFA is to discuss the future of the vuvuzela, the noisy plastic trumpet blown at the Confederations Cup which has drawn complaints from European television stations.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter told a media briefing he was aware of complaints the din of the instrument was drowning out the commentary of broadcasters and that they wanted it banned at this tournament and next year’s World Cup in South Africa.

Blatter said soccer’s governing body would discuss the matter with the organisers.

“It’s a local sound and I don’t know how it is possible to stop it,” he said on Wednesday. “I always said that when we go to South Africa, it is Africa. It’s not western Europe.

“It’s noisy, it’s energy, rhythm, music, dance, drums. This is Africa. We have to adapt a little.”

Vuvuzelas, which have been given away free to fans, are a constant background to Confederations Cup games.

Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso said: “I think they should be banned. They make it very difficult for the players to communicate with each other and to concentrate.

“They are a distraction and do nothing for the atmosphere,” he added after his team’s 1-0 win over Iraq.

FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke said last year the vuvuzela would not be banned unless it was used as a weapon by fighting fans.

Let dem hul dey ARSE! I never see frigging more. Now ah backing South Africa to beat Spain.

Fixed.

Anyway, they sound to me just like those same damn horns that the Mexican fans blow at the Azteca Stadium.

Deeks · « **Reply #166 on:** June 17, 2009, 04:29:59 PM »

Vuvuzela, the ultimate 12th man.

De ICC did legislate de 2007 cricket world cup in de caribbean and what happen? It end up bein de worst world cup in history.

Blatter is right. The World Cup is in Africa. It's a part of South African soccer culture. They didn't just make it up for this tournament. I know for a fact that noise is also prevalent in Mexico and they've had world cups there.

Let dem eurocentric mofo's kerry dey SKONT!

Zeppo · « **Reply #168 on:** June 17, 2009, 05:24:26 PM »

Those horns might not even be an issue next summer because it could be that there are relatively few South Africans in the stands.

The stadia now are only half-full and the complaint is that ticket prices are well out of spending range for most South Africans. They're starting to give them away just to have a full house. So how are they going to afford World Cup tickets??

Get ready to see the stands full of mostly foreigners next year (and few vuvuzelas).

No, the South Africans will just be outside the stadia selling them to the same European tourists (who will purchase them for fear of being robbed and violated, especially in Jo'berg! Kinda like how some o' dem does be buying tings off they tourist tour bus in Harlem).

It's amazing what football has come to. As I'm watching these games and hearing all the stadium noise, I was reminded of the atmosphere of the '78 World Cup where them Argentinians were probably just as noisy. xabi alonso need to hush he lil' bitch-ass liverfool self and play football.

You can count on the fact that there will be a maximum security atmosphere around all the stadia next summer.

The tourists will feel about as much fear as they would at Disneyland.

DVR breds...

If yuh very determined, yuh could close yuh eyes & ears and watch it later as if it's live (that's what I do for Champions' League).

It'll be tough to go an entire day without having the Brazil - USA score leak though (especially if USA pulls off the upset)...

Other than that, find an online feed or run away from the office and watch at a bar.
