Personally i like to hear the chants fans sing as some are hilarious. It is definately spoiling my enjoyment of the Tournament however. Even some players are making mistakes as they can't hear a shout from a team mate. I did see a few Dutch players cupping their hands to their ears to the Ref as they hadn't heard his whistle(ok, could be gamesmanship?). Just a matter of time before someone lets in a goal and gets knocked out of the Tournament because of the noise or gets a 2nd yellow card because they kicked the ball away imho.
No chance of a ban as they are making money selling them i guess. BBC did a report on technology cutting the sound but according to them because of the frequency it is on they would lose crowd cheers and Refs' whistle too. Anyone else miffed at this or is it just part and parcel of the game?
