Yeah, its an interesting balance.

Sponsors and TV say the noise is ruining their viewership, but FIFA insists that its not their place to be legislating what is culturally acceptable.

The real winners... ear plug vendors are doing a really brisk business.

Couldn't they come to a compromise and market a less noisy horn? People keep their horns, viewers keep their hearing.

The 130 DB of the horns is at the hearing pain threshold. (In comparison, a chainsaw is only 100 and a vacuum 90)

hmmm, pretty good result for the Italian Geriatric Society if I may say so, lol.

The Italians always have a slow start in the World Cup. They played much better in the second half and Pepe played really well. Nice goal from De Rossi too. Forza Azzurri!
