Yea, I know. It comes up in Spanish. But if you're linguistically challenged, just click on the "English" tab at the right top.

I love soccer, but I think the USA will go something like 1-2 in pool play and be coming home early, as usual.
Now the womens' team is different. They are always fighting for the gold.

Well, they managed to tie England and they're a major soccer nation.

Question: Does anyone know what that horribly annoying sound is during the game? It sounds like a bee hive!

[Spartan]

I think that's what 4000 air horns sound like but I'm not sure.

They're a type of horn they have, called something like vuvuzelas. Some places are banning them because they're too loud.

My son just turned it to the Germany game and those horns are annoying. How stupid.

Can you imagine sitting next to one? :-0

I don't get the attraction of blowing them throughout the entire game. I could see after a score, but damn.

I and a couple of other guys tried bring one to a Lady Dawgs soccer game. They banned them.

I saw this this morning too siamcat! I guess it's not just me they annoyed the heck out of!

But it's okay to bring a 300 piece high school marching band to a football game, but not a few people blowing a horn at a soccer game?
