I tried watching a little the other day - but the sound of those trumpets (vuvuzellas or whatever they are called) drove me just about insane within five minutes.
I think I associate the sound with flies at BBQ's when I was growing up (flies are very bad in Australia) or perhaps the time a swarm of bees took up residence in a tree in my parent's back-yard and I got stung. ?
the main ref of the brazil v ivory coast game should should be fired after the two handballs got them a goal...

They had a goal earlier in the game but was called back on accounts of off-sides. However, video replay clearly shows no off-sides. The USA also got shafted in the game against Slovenia.So, the USA scored against Algeria late on in the game, meaning that depsite the win England only come runners up in the group.
Not the first time they've arrived late and claimed total victory, and I'd bet on it not being the last...
If you hit me at thirty miles an hour theres a 80% chance i'll live
If you hit me at fourty miles an hour theres a 80% chance i'll die
If you blow that vuvuzela horn one more fucking time im hitting you at 60 miles an hour
