For some reason, I see the committee treating bagpipes and other cultural icons differently than the vuvuzelas. Sports games here usually have those inflatable noise-makers. You smack them together and they're fairly loud. Everyone only does it during cheers and scores, though...If the horns were only used then, it wouldn't be such a problem. The sport doesn't feel natural without the screams of fans.

That sucks D: But, yeah, it's good no one was injured...

No way am I betting. I'll root for Cameroon and regret not taking the offer up when they win, but I won't bet...Y'know, just in case Denmark somehow is able to defeat Cameroon....

I've been calling it soccer, but I've trained myself to think soccer when I hear football (depending on the context). It isn't too difficult at all, and I sometimes find myself thinking "football" rather than "soccer". Around this time, if you hear football, it's most likely relating to FIFA. During Super Bowl season, it's about American football.
