4) Vuvuzelas – Prior to the Confederations Cup 2009 and the World Cup 2010, no one really knew what vuvuzelas were; after the World Cup, everyone had formed an opinion on them. Some saw them as adding to the atmosphere; others saw them as noisy distractions that could be done without. Players were particularly critical of them, with Lionel Messi saying that vuvuzelas hampered player communication.
