The vuvuzelas make a loud noise comparable to a huge swarm of bees, and they are blown incessantly by fans throughout the matches. While some have defended the instrument as part of the South Africa World Cup experience, criticism has been almost as loud as the vuvuzela itself. VOA Sports Editor Parke Brewer is in South Africa to cover the World Cup and spoke about the impact of the vuvuzelas.
"The vuvuzelas were ever-present, (1)________________________________that the South Africans love to bring to football games and blow them constantly throughout the games. It's a constant buzz and a constant noise you have to deal with. Not just the fans in the stands, that (2)_______________certainly can tell that that's the case."
Christiano Ronaldo, who plays for Portugal and the Spanish football club Real Madrid, says the noise disturbs the players' concentration. Parke Brewer says others agree that the vuvuzelas cause problems. Despite the complaints about the plastic horns, Parke Brewer doubts that vuvuzelas will be banned.
"I think FIFA's president Sepp Blatter was very adamant last year here at the Confederations Cup when these vuvuzelas were a big talk of the tournament. It is one of those traditions here in South Africa that I am not sure they are gonna take away. I think there would be huge protests across the country (3)________________________________." Danny Jordaan says the vuvuzelas are being evaluated on an ongoing basis and that a ban is an option, "if there are grounds to do so." He said he would prefer to have the fans singing or chanting.
