I'm watching Italy play New Zealand in their second group game. The part timers for New Zealand, affectionately known as "the all whites" and sponsored by Michael Barrymore's Strike It Lucky, are currently holding the defending champions to a 1 all draw and the noise of the vuvuzela is as constant and tuneless as ever. By now all that needs to be said about the world's most irritating bit of plastic, [insert Jordan joke here], has been. Unfortunately it seems they are here to stay, for this world cup at least and if nothing else they provide a talking point to distract from the woeful football on display from the seeded teams. Blame the ball, blame the altitude, blame the girlfriend reporting from behind the goal line or the fan looking for a toilet in the dressing room but whatever you do don't blame the players...they might cry.
cheers,
R.
[Edit] FT 1-1 Well done NZ!
