Re: South Africa v New Zealand
It'll bring something different to the World Cup in Korea/Japan. With all due respect to their fans, as they turned up in huge numbers and great colour, the Korean and Japanese could never quite distinguish between winning a corner and scoring a goal. The level of noise of general reaction was often the same. Their goal celebrations were pre-meditated, so you never really knew if they were 'experiencing' it first hand.
I see North Korea have qualified for next year's World Cup. I'll be in that part of the world for it, so should be interesting. Kim will have to temporially postpone his nucleatr developments, and when the side are thrashed 6-0 in every game, really take it out on South Korean and Japan

Re: South Africa v New Zealand
My wife came into the room and said "that sounds like motor racing". For the world cup I may have to turn the sound down if the TV people don't do the sensible thing and turn the stadium feed right down.
As for comparing it to the Japan/Korea world cup: I wonder will we have so many utterly outrageous linesman decisions with the general aim of improving the host team's chances of advancing? I thought the Ireland Spain game was an embarrassment: they obviously fancied us advancing rather than Spain so that they wouldn't have to engage in too many blatantly corrupt decisions in a high profile match. Worst refereed tournament EVER!
Wonder will there be any food poisoning in this one?

The horns are a pain in the ass, but i heard somewhere that Fifa are looking into banning them for the world cup. They're almost as bad as those stupid clicking yokes they give out at leinster games!

Re: South Africa v New Zealand
I hope FIFA dont ban the horns.
Then it will be a case of our way or no way. That is the local 'custom' as it were at football matchs. If they dont want them the should not have given the World Cup to South Africa.
Next we will have FIFA telling Newcastle fans to wear jerseys and Rangers and Celtic fans to be pleasent to each other.

Re: South Africa v New Zealand
Fair point Leo: I certainly wasn't suggesting that anyone ban anything. But fat Newcastle lads not wearing shirts doesn't bother me - I look at the match, not them. They actually have banned various forms of Celtic and Rangers fans not being nice to each other, and not just violence either, some of their traditional songs are actually banned. And I don't have a problem with that.
Why would anyone ban fans making noise just because they don't like it? However I would miss the sound of the stadium if the broadcaster did the sensible thing and turned the feed down. Otherwise I might miss the commentary too - if the stadium ambience feed isn't turned down really low I will have to turn the sound on the telly right down.
