Will FIFA ban the Vuvuzela?


I read up about this and was very happy to see that Fifa was not going to ban vuvuzelas for the soccer world cup. In all honesty i think this is fair to the nation in the way they cheer on thier country.

for example: In England the English cheer their teams on with songs they have constructed and wrote to sing to the team, or specific players to make a noise in the stadiums and make their team hear that they hav the supporters behind them.

In South Africa it is the same, Some spectators make beats with the Vuvuzela's and is like an instrument to show that they are backing thier teams.The footballers are used to this noise and also better in some of there playing because of the thrill they get in hearing the fans supporting them

As i have said i am happy to see that there will be Vuvuzelas in the 2010 world cup.
