Ok so England vs USA in 36 hours.
Where you guys watching it ?

(Those who think the world cup is sh*t, just dont reply.)

terrace in york. chavsville pub, but loadsa screens.

I might be watching the final in a Basingstoke pub, but thats about it. Havnt we been knocked out yet? :mutley:

I might watch this game too actually from home.

Got a seat / table booked in my regular pub - Mark (landlord) is putting on some food and stuff. Cant wait!

Is that the one on Fossgate?

Out of interest, how busy are the football free pubs when things like this happen? One down the end of my road has a sign saying "Football free zone"...just curious whether they tend to be deserted, or packed full of the people that want a pleasant meal out without a load of people cheering and chanting etc.

They tend to be very busy but packed with a rather sedate and peaceful crowd.

Are you being sarcastic and mean normal people?

The type that tend to hang around in pubs (IME) are the troglodytes that chant and bash the tables when anything remotely interesting happens in the match. Or is that just for the premiership games?

Ah, I just googled it -

Quotei. The sound like that of huge swarm of bees is made by fans. It is their way of supporting their team. It is particularly done by African people and is a part of their culture.

ii. The sound is a combination of sound from a horn called Vuvuzela and the sound from constant singing by thousands of fans together, like in a choir, which sounds like humming.

iii. The fact is, it will happen for almost every single game (particularly in those where African teams are playing).

iv. The good thing is that it is not that bad. If you think deeply, youll find that it adds to the very spirit of Football and symbolizes Africa. Every nation and every culture has something unique, its identity, and that should be enjoyed in its true form. Think yourself to be a part of Africa and youll start liking it.

I agree with you Susan, that noise is irritating.

You can barely hear it really. Sounds like watching Serie A to me.

Those horns a are a pain.

I dont want to watch a whole match with that noise, and apparently neither do many other Fans. So many in fact, that FIFA are seriously considering a ban.

Players have also complained they can not hear team mates.

Any stupid horns, buzzers, bells, whistles, etc should be banned.

I was getting seriously peed off by what sounded like some piss-poor polka band playing throughout the entire England vs USA game. Its not even like its quiet or they filter it out, its banging and hooting throughout the whole match. No wonder our players did so sh*te, they were probably getting fed up of it too.

Well it seems that people are getting pissed off already, and were only like 4 days into the tournament? somethings gonna snap and hopefully FIFA will ban them. I mean theyre not even tuneful for crying out loud! It wouldnt be so bad if they played something on them, instead of the incessant noise

They ban musical instruments from most cricket grounds but where there is a subcontinent team involved they still seem to smuggle the drums and horns in.
