OMG - I watched the England USA game and almost lost my mind with all that buzzing. I didn't learn until the next day what was causing it. I won't watch any more games as a protest to South Africa's rudeness. This is like inviting someone to your house for vacation, then playing annoying music constantly. They wanted to HOST the games, so they should behave like a HOST and make their guests comfortable. Incessant buzzing is not good host behavior. Obviously, they have a lot to learn in the social skills department.

Wow, I missed the game and have not heard anything (sm) - anon

about the buzzing ... what is that about? I was planning on watching both England and the USA play others later in the week but now ....

buzzing - bees

The nonstop noise you are hearing is from plastic horns called vuvuzelas. Unfortunately it is a South African tradition, sort of like the cow bells heard at the downhill skiing races during the Olympics. The problem is that this is a constant sound at 130 decibels which can cause hearing loss and I'm sure migraines. A jet engine is about 140 decibels.

They are selling ear plugs like crazy from what I have heard. Many players have complained that they are having great difficulty communicating with each other on the field and also with their coaches. There has been talk that they would ban the vuvuzelas from the venues, but I doubt that will happen. The did ban them from blowing them during the national anthems and during any official stadium announcements.

The matches have been great so far. The U.S. goal in the England game was part luck, but we'll take it:)

I've got to ask cos it's buggin me - anonymoose

Funny how when something gets stuck in your mind you can't think of anything else.

Hope it changes for you though.

The team looked great, and they played their hearts out. I hope they come back for the next game, and that the World Cup fires that ref!

What are your thoughts about the questions and how the candidates are answering them? Has anyone decided for sure who to vote for (if you're voting in the primaries or caucuses)? I'm still undecided, so if you have decided, I would appreciate some input as to why you chose that candidate. ...

I started watching it in the beginning just because of Adam Levine, and I've found I'm loving it the way Americal Idol used to get me. I love the banter between the coaches, though Christina gets a little too crude for me sometimes. But I like her otherwise. What do you think of the talent? I voted for Frenchie Davis today. Nobody on Blake's team impressed me much. I think Xenia's got a lot of potential, but she's obviously too young, and p ...

Anyone into the games this weekend? I am hoping for Dallas and GB to win. I'd rather face either of them than Arizona or Philly in the divisional round next week. My Vikings have caused me much Super Bowl and playoff trauma over the years and I'm not expecting much but hoping for the best. Favre really gives us a good chance. I'm anxious to see what happens today. I'll be a wreck by next week (they play on my birthday - the last time that ...

Is anyone watching Justified? If so, can you tell me who the guy is that plays the character Douglas Cooper(convict who escaped).

On History Channel. Lots of good info. The segment now starts out with McKinley vs Bryan. Many parallels to contemporary politics. But politics is definitely not the major focus. More of an economic narrative. Good stuff if you get a chance to tune in. ...

Liberals will suffer another disastrous election in 2018 because they can't figure out why they've already suffered 3 sequential disasters in a row that have cost them governorships, state legislatures and control of the federal government. Middle America has decided not to tolerate any more of their nonsense: BLM. Sanctuary cities. Open borders. Disgraceful behavior in Congress, boycotting the inauguration and confirmation committee meetings. Using extreme and misleading lang ...

Pagliano never showed up even though he was supoenaed. Mr. Combetta (Platte River) and Mr. Thornton (Platte River), and a third guy showed up. Cummings asked if they would intent to NOT answer any questions, Combetta and the rest pleaded the Fifth. What was incriminating about that????? Thornton was asked if he was questioned by the FBI. He pleaded the Fifth!!!!! How can Cummings truly argue with Chaffetz over this investigation (like he always does) over the subject since the FBI found pr ...

I have followed this case since this child first went missing. Honestly I could not have been a juror as I feel that this girl is guilty, have for a very long time. The fake nanny, fake friends, fake job, fake trips to the beach, child missing for goodness knows how long and the mom is out partying and having a good time, how could she do it? Even if she killed her child by accident, how could she go out and do all of the partying that she was doing with no remorse, no guilt, nada? Watching ...

I understand Obama's drive to socialism. It's really anti-colonialism that his father and grandfather pursued, and now he is as well. In this movie, Obama is heard reading from his own book, Dreams from My Father, which lays out the theme of the movie. Obama has major plans to drive America to its knees economically and lead us in the direction of being like third-world countries. Spread the wealth around. I probably did not explain myself very well, so maybe the best advice I ...

this is being televised when Obama stated a while back that the remains of our heros should be private. Does he show up at every soldier that comes home in a casket? No. I understand that this is somewhat different, but I think it should also be private, not for everyone to see. ...

If Congress wants to pass bills/laws, WHY DO THEY WASTE HALF THE DAY IN GENERAL SPEECHES? Senate Democrats are complaining about bills in the House that have not been voted on and the House is complaining about the Senate sitting on bills passed by them. As of today, there are now 40 jobs bills sitting in the Senate not voted on and today is the last day in session until after the election. I think the House has already left to go home. Harry Reid is blocking votes as they are rehas ...

Recently conservative media has been saying that all the polls are wrong (presumably even Fox's poll)...lol. The liberal media has been saying they are doing this so that when Romney loses they can say the election was rigged (among other things). I think that's wrong. I think pubs who say the polls are wrong are doing that so they can say...see that's what happens when the polls are wrong when Romney wins through what can only be described as blatant voter suppression.
