World Cup Betting: Bet On Fifa Banning The Vuvuzela

Fifa's World Cup, always a source of news and speculation, is grabbing the headlines of tabloids and broadsheets alike, and taking over much of our televisual airspace, but not for the emergence of International football stars or even England's progress,( although Robert Green's fumble in the goal mouth was front and centre at the weekend) but rather for the South African obsession with the vuvuzela. An innocuous plastic trumpet from the same stable as the Kazoo is dominating the matches, the commentaries and post match analysis. Unsurprisingly bookmakers Paddy Power hot on the trail of any potential market have opened a book to bet on Fifa banning the Vuvuzela from the stadiums.

Africa was always expected to offer colour and carnival to football's Mecca, but the anticipated traditional song and dance has been replaced by a drone of sound that is meeting enormous criticism from all corners. TV viewers complain that their enjoyment is marred by not being able to hear the rise and fall of the crowd and commentators are fighting to interpret the nuances of the team strategies with nests of angry wasps ringing in their ears.

Little has yet been mentioned about the effect of this background noise on the players, but is sure to arise as a possible excuse for poor performances by those who are underachieving. To blame the Vuvuzela's as a major hindrance to interpreting England's progress would be fairly ludicrous given the inaudible and unfathomable post match analysis by England coach Fabio Capello which can leave fans particularly flumuxed, and any team talk between Wayne Rooney Steven Gerrard and their manager would leave most querulous.

Will Fifa ban the Vuvuzela? 11/10 says they will, which perhaps indicates the precarious nature of this decision. When in Rome etc etc, and whilst the goals roll in and the teams progress will diplomacy be deft enough to urge the vuvuzela's demise when it is so clearly a part of South African Tradition. In a country that is permamently fighting the extinction of many indiginous species would this be just one step too far !
