How does the use of the vuvuzela plastic trumpet affect the 2010 FIFA world cup?
The vuvuzela trumpet has a very irritating sound, causing headaches and making people drift away from the spectacular event called the World Cup. It is said to be causing a lot of noise pollution. It makes a sound as that of a million bees, however some people can make music out of it.
The South Africans, however, want to keep allowing the use of the vuvuzela as they believe that the trumpet gives the real taste of South African soccer. Please see the related link for more on vuvuzelas.
What are the nicknames of the 32 teams participating in the FIFA World Cup 2010?
There are 32 nations competing in the FIFA World Cup 2010. However, they do not all have nicknames. (And some of the nicknames, often given to them by opposing teams, are inflammatory as well as derogatory.) One nickname of the U.S. team is the "Yankees" or the "Yanks". England's team is sometimes called the "Brits".
The Portuguese are "the Navigators". The nickname was borrowed from the "real" Portuguese navigators (XV-XVI centuries) who crossed the oceans around the globe, and the dangerous "Cape Bojador" (not far from Capetown, so, not far from the Cup).
