For those that are complaining.....get over it! I've been to many games in Europe and the "singing" people are referring to you hear on the TV is actually filtered, why, because most of the songs have swearing, are derogatory or antagonise (in a malicious way) the opposition e.g. singing what the Germans did in WW2 or singing about Liverpool fans killing their own fans (referring to Hillsborough), or sing racist songs or throw coins at players......there are plenty examples. Europe also brings much more colour to football than in Africa such as hooligans and organised fighting between clubs & countries etc. etc. Even with all these joys that European football brings I still support my team (Liverpool). This is African, yes you will like some of the customs and some not, why not try to out-singing the vuvuzela.......ideally with something more creative than England, England, England, England, England, England, blah, blah, blah. This is not Europe, this is Africa, we will not change. When is Rome do as the Roman's do.......Africa welcomes you with open arms.....if you don't like it tough, you can exercise your right and leave.

The phrase "man-on-man" appears to befuddle you....
This is what you get from 8 years of Bush!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------
As usual, you've got it all wrong. This is what you get after only a year-and-a half of Obama.
But it gives the brain dead something to do while watching the most boring sport on the planet..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------
I take it that you don't define Golf as a sport?
To paraphrase Bart Simpson, I didn't know that something could suck and blow at the same time...fortunately I have a mute button, and I use it while I'm snoozing in front of the TV showing another spell-binding 0-0 game. Or I change the channel to Univision and watch the f?tbol in Spanish!
Oh, i get it! Billions of people around the world love the game of "Football" but since a lot of Americans find it Boring & call it "Soccer" then that settles it! Because everyone knows that the U.S. is right in Everything & only their opinion matters. America, join the rest of the World for once! You are not as "Exceptional" as you Obnoxiously & Boringly try to convince yourselves & the rest of the World !
I know soccer/football is a national obsession in many countries, however, matching that obsession with incessant, distracting, mind numbing noise from horns only shows those of us who do not like soccer another reason to avoid the sport. If you are so eaten up by soccer that you need to honk a f***ing horn constantly, it merely reinforces the negative image you have made for yourself and all your other soccer hooting fans. It's even annoying on the television.

Imagine how boring basketball would be if a 7-footer was allowed to goal-tend all game....
Sheesh.
