    South Africa ponders vuvuzela ban after complaints

    South Africa's World Cup organising chief Danny Jordaan may ban vuvuzelas from inside stadiums after complaints from broadcasters and supporters.

    The constant sound of the high-pitched horn-like instrument has so far drowned out any of the atmosphere-generating singing usually associated with games.

    Ok

    Slovenia for the win - 5
    Serbia to get past Ghana (micheal essien's injury is too much for them to overcome) - 10
    Germany to rout Australia - 30

    What an entertaining game that Ghana/Serbia match was. Lots of energy from both sides.
