Everybody says the 2010 World Cup is the best of the modern era,
and come on, isn’t it? Apart from the captivating matches
themselves, there was a lot of excitement, culture, great music,
the Jabulani, and of course, the vuvuzelas, among other things.

Hate it or love it, those vuvuzelas gave that tournament a lot of
character and individuality. If a match is put on the screen
right now and you hear that deafening sound drowning the stadium,
you just know it’s a game from the 2010 World Cup.

But that musical instrument, if we’re allowed to call it that,
was not able to cross over from that World Cup tournament in
South Africa to mainstream football all around the world. Why?
Because it was banned.
