What a superb addition to the world cup watching experience. It's so nice to listen to these beautiful musical instruments buzzing in your ear for 90 minutes.

I want to watch most of the England -Australian games. I do watch soccer once every 4 years.

One drawback.

The constant bloody sirens and hooters I can hear in the current Gre-Kor game a real pain. A real distraction.

Coupled with moronic chants I can see no way out...

baby oil might help

Disappointed, I thought this thread was going to have photos of large owls

Me thought large bazookas.

Yeah I think it is one of the most annoying features of this world cup.

On the the other hand if they showed a few big hooters ever few minutes, I could tolerate the noise

I watched a match last night and honestly thought it was a broadcasting error! If you're an ear doctor I'd be getting over there and setting up pretty soon, it'll be a licence to print money.

Stop trying to change the subject and get the owls out!

Wasn't changing the subject and no I won't

You would think they could wire some of those noise cancelling headphones to the microphones, The horns although they blow just plain suck

Im all for atmosphere but its something I want to breathe not listen too.

Imagine what it's like actually in the stadiums http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp...WHjwPOeqNKXA0Q

Rugby's on. No Hooters (of any type).

I honestly think sometimes soccer is a child's game. I want to like it, really like it, but they make it hard.

you now when someone says to you"have you heard that noise?"...

then all you can here is that bleedin noise?well..............

have you noticed all those african people blowing those bleedin trumpet things all through the game..?...

its bleedin worse than the noise your fridge makes all nite?

SORRY...

I don't mind them too much - reminds me of European cup ties 25 years ago
