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. Hate them or love them, vuvuzelas added to the charm of the World Cup in a unique way.
