Your loss, and I say that as someone that really doesn't care one way or the other about soccer. To me it's no different than any of the other traditional stadium noise making you find in major sports outside North America. Besides, the majority of people blowing those horns are the tourists since they are the majority of the people in the stands. It's just one of the things that comprises the flavour os this particular tournament
:-)
On a completely unrelated note, and something I've been meaning to ask for a while, why is it that you always post in all bold?

The horns are a little annoying, but watching almost every game thus far, I've gotten used to it. On the other hand, if I was in the stadium next to those horns, people would be blowing them out their other hole.
At this point, I can't believe how many ties there have been. It's sad that most teams seem to be playing not to lose, rather than trying to win.
I just hope the US can get 3-4 goals in a shutout on Friday, so they can win their group.

Goal scoring way down....My Portuguese team was outplayed this morning by Ivory Coast, even with Drogba being injured and hardly playing.....Interesting tourney to say the least...

Doesn't surprise me at all, it happens every WC, lots of draws in the first round.

Wow...I can see why Spain was favored to win the WC..they kept finding shots but couldn't aim it right. Nice work Switzerland.

Spain still played very well and are still the favorites to win the title. Switzerland just defended really well.
