Brazil is every bit as bad, wander off the beaten track and you are in big fucking trouble. The good places are brilliant but the rough areas are as bad as most townships.

Personally Brazil is the only country I've been to where I felt nervous at night. Definitely more so than South Africa.

Cousin of mine lived in Rio for a year, loved the people but going out at nights beyond the ultra safe areas was a real big risk for a white westerner. You just stick out like a sore thumb and paint yourself as a target for the street gangs.

I like em - they add atmosphere - sound like bee's to me :p

Come to the 2010 rugby league grand final at old trafford with me in october. After 2 hours of 40,000 horns being blown, come back on here and tell everyone you like them lol.

Seriously, big rugby league games have 1000000 x the atmosphere of football games but in the flesh, these stupid horns just ruin it. Its not so bad when you watch on TV.

Hard to tell from just two games, but I think they're drowning out the crowd and imo this means a worse atmosphere.

I am mate aye. You goin? Listen to the start of the video. Have you heard fans like that at old trafford for football games bar for about 50 fans singing about man city in the stretford end. Thats why those stupid horns ruin it.

YouTube - St. Helens 41 vs Leeds Rhinos 20 2/2

I will be indeed mate :) RL Atmosphere is awesome. Been to many games where its been mental, Leeds v Bulls this year was electric right down to the final hooter.

I tried and tried to lessen the noise but no matter how I mess with the audio it always comes through, please god let the tv producers try and drown out the noise :(

I am cutting my hedges like a demon at the minute (this is a ciggie break) so I can get settled to watch the Argie match, I reckon it will be brilliant.

The ITVHD coverage (quality wise) is so crap. It looks like it's been scaled up. Seriously? :(

Oh and to hell with those stupid horns. I thought UNICEF were wiser with how they spent their money...

I think the Vuvuzelas are ace. The noise they make is nowhere near as annoying as the noise of people moaning about them.

It's the World Cup you miserable twunts!

Erm.... That game was on BBC HD, and yes their quality is questionable compared to other HD channels.

Whoops my bad. It was the earlier one. That's when I had my moan. I remember now cos in the studio with Adrian Chiles the feed looked good, it was on the pitch when I thought the quality was iffy.
