I felt sorry for the aussies
4-0 with a man sent off without cause
But i must admit, germany looked a good side
Could it be another 1966 final ?
We will have to see

Cahill didn't deserve to be sent off but the Aus side didn't play well enough in attack or defence.
Germany are a great team. They will be very dangerous when they get a few games played.

telgordo: Does anyone else find those trumpets annoying ?
I end up with a headache after each match
God knows what it does to the players I am just watching the algeria/slovenia match and one of the players complained that he couldnt hear the whistle and nearly made a major gaff
I just found this link which says they are trying to ban them
Cant the SA fans just chant and sing like everyone else

Yes Tel they are very annoying. Only time i can listen to it is when Brazil play as it includes a lot of drumming rather than trumpets!

Hi english
It wouldnt be so bad if they played a tune on them
But it is just a monotone sound
They are just being lazy instead of using their vocals
The south africans have beautiful voices and should use them to their full advantage

The german team was good, yeah. But what the referee(s) did was kinda shame in my eyes. About the 1:0 goal I'm not too sure, but I'd really say that it has been offside before. But apart from that 'maybe'-situation, there've been a number of other offside-situations the referees just didn't see.
The red card, was indeed a real shame. It happened accidently (he was falling, surely not attacking the player with intent), plus: he didn't have a yellow one before. But even if he was given only a yellow, it still wouldn't have been fair (in my opinion).
Anyone remember the yellow card that was given a few minutes later to another australian player? Was that really a foul???
My conclusion: The referees messed up the game. (I'd really appreciate a 'camera overview'-referee!
)
If it isn't a fair game, then it's no good game, at all!
Back to the main topic:
The vuvuzelas are typical to african football traditions and so just a part of it, like eg. drums in european (or other) countries. To ban them would be very intolerant - no matter how loud they are!

Very fair assessment Bard
But how about putting mufflers in the vuvuzelas ?
Then they could blow them to their hearts content without annoying the whole world

You probably didn't see the first foul at Schweinsteiger by the same player??? The ref let it pass, Schweinsteiger complaint? The yellow yes, was acceptable! The yellow for Oezil was not acceptable. He fell...accept it the German team is pretty good! Let's see how they mature!
Vuvuzelas are not accepted during rugby, why should they be accepted during a football match??? Listen to what the German TV is saying!
Now to tuesday the next favourite of mine will play....Portugal!!!

Sorry.....but then I wouldn't have been happy seeing Germany loosing against your side.
thanks for being such a sporting friend!!!

Just an update on the vuvuzelas
They are importing them to the uk
But it said on the news the FA might not allow them at matches
I wouldnt like to be there if someone starts blowing one down a scousers ear at a liverpool match
They'd be blowing it out from where the sun doesnt shine

mufflers? that'd be a good compromise somehow! guess, nobody would mind, if they were a bit less that loud...
ah, actually I don't know that situation anymore. But I still can rememer one scene, when an australian Player fouled a german one and the referee didn't stop, because german was still in an advantageous position (havin the ball). But afterwards, that australian Player got the yellow one.
Yeah, but because he really wanted to fall - a dive ('Schwalbe'). That's what the referee saw as well...
Anyway, I didn't deny that the german team was playing good. Actually, they reached the best result so far!
It was just the referee (and assistants) I was criticising. And that's something, which has been really bad in nearly any game so far. Especially much wrong offside-situations.
Worst one I noticed is that one, which lead to a goal of Slowakia(in blue) against New Zealand(white). The upper Player was offside (but passive) and the lower one was also offside (and shot the goal!).

swordfish44: South Africans are getting fed up with them now too... including myself!!!
Rumour has it that a young soccer fanatic invented it when he modified his bicycle horn to sound like a chain saw....If only his mother had confiscated it there and then... she has a lot to answer for. lol
Imagine listening at close range to 40,000 chain saws!!!!!

I remember when i was at school many years ago we were told to make football rattles in woodwork
Basically you span the handle and a slat of wood hit a rotating wooden cog
It made a hell of a racket
These were popular in the late 50's and early 60's in the uk
But you dont see them being used now
Probably because of noise pollusion and health and safety
If you hit someone on the head with one as you spun it around you would have knocked them out
