I'm hearing vuvuzelas in my sleep.
Me too.
I haven't seen any matches yet, but tonight they're playing Italy vs. Paraguay.
Vuvuzelas will get soon into my sleep.

My condolences, Gianluca (the game just finished 1:1). :crying: Seems like the rain didn't really help your team...

To all U.S. folks who like soccer: great job yesterday!

@Gail: The exterminator's are frequently called over here in Germany since we're afraid of insect invasions 😉

Seriously: I wonder how someone does actually like an "instrument" making such a errmm... "special" noise

Thanks Jan, I think we're just glad to be part of it. I'll be happy if we score a goal at some stage - I think winning any games might be a bit beyond us, but you never know :-):-)

It's a side-effect of the vuvuzelas. It levels the playing field.:-D

Too much love going on this thread this morning - at least "morning" where I'm at. Everyone is being soooo sweet, I don't need sugar for my coffee!! Hell, if soccer can evoke these emotions with the likes of some of us around here, imagine what it can do for world peace.....

LoL, I think that none of this two teams would like a 2 ties in a row, especially Italy 😉

So what's with the ball being too round or too light or something? Is everyone complaining?

I think that the sports fans do fine when they're separated. It seems when they're in the same physical location we have issues.

It is interesting to see how excited people get, almost like the Olympics.

Too light would be a valid complaint but too round???? It either is or isn't round.
