Get over it. The vuvuzela has real no cultural heritage in SA and has existed outside that country for far longer. It's about as African as Kentucky Fried Chicken, and equally distasteful. Boris can be a bit of a plonker, but on this occasion he seems to be in line with the zeitgeist.

Taking the game seriously is admirable. Being poor losers isn't. Have you committed blasphemy? No, you've merely bought into the media hype. The overwhelming majority of England fans are realistic about the team's strengths and weaknesses and thus their prospects in this tournament. It's only the media who have said any different.
