Is anybody watching? Does anybody care?

One of the kids wanted to watch, so we did. U.S. /England then Australia/Germany. The vuvuzelas make it torture to watch. I cannot believe those things are allowed.

I don't. I've never understood the world wide craze for it. But then, I don't care for baseball, football, etc. either.

What is a vuvu whatever?

Vuvuzela

It is an annoying horn that they blow at the World Cup matches, which makes it sound like the players are inside a hornet's nest.

Ugh. Another reason never to bother with it. (rolleyes)

You can't appreciate it really unless you hear it. Tune in for a second one of these days and you will see what I mean. That is unless they change their tune and ban them - which is my hope.

It seems the players are complaining about them, too. It is hard for them to communicate during the game. There are rumors that FIFA may ban them. But that will be at some point in the future and probably only for FIFA-sponsored events.

For anybody even mildly interested in soccer, this is the event to watch. Especially since all the games are during the day in the US (well, at least on the East Coast). 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan was a pain in the shorts because of the vast time difference.

Australia was way overmatched against Germany and Germany took full advantage of that. When they play Serbia and Ghana, it is not going to be so easy. Both of those teams know how to play and they both play a very physical game..

Sorry, Jim. I don't know where that comma in my previous post snuck in from.
