THE STARTING 11: Reasons to bring Vuvuzelas to Toronto

A rare South African double-horned Bafana sighting

After the first few days of the World Cup there is only one word that the global audience has learned - vuvuzela. The much-maligned (except in Sith Ifrici) noise-maker is the dominant element when watching matches on TV and apparently ear-splitting in person. Despite calls to ban the plastic horns it looks as if they are set to stay through the duration of the Cup but we wonder, how could they be useful at BMO Field when TFC returns?
 
11. Just for the fun of hearing Craig Forrest say the word "vuvuzela"
 
10. Not quite as annoying as Year 4 of "The Dichio Song"
 
9. You can fit four chip buttys in the wide end
 
8. The GO Train would sound like a diesel-powered swarm of bees
 
7. Helpful in the new "MO BLOWS" campaign
 
6. "Qu-est ce que Vuve?" "Vuvule Les Rouges zele!"
 
5. Handy for summoning centaurs
 
4. TFC's new nickname: BMOfana! BMOfana!
 
3. Mating call to Argos fans
 
2. Fan giveaway: "Viagra Vuvuzela Day! - "Get the horn with Viagra!"
 
1. Vuvu-Beer Bongs

"Oh Herc, you can blow my horn anytime!"

  1. Vuvuzela + thunderstick... BMO field will turn into CFL venue. These would be much better used on the road!
    Dichio will be forever in TFC folklore.. one of the few original songs that we sing. Not being 'borrowed' from anyone else.

  3. Definitely agree with previous comment. The Dichio song needs to stay. No question.

  4. Dichio song is tired. Why do you sing for a retired player? He was just at the right place at the right time. I wish Andy Walsh scored the first goal. Some of you are so desperate for tradition.

  6. Dudes, have you read this site before? As a regular reader I assure you the whole thing is tongue-in-cheek. They are not "down" on Danny Dichio (although I think the song is played out - and I sit in the supporter's section btw) nor are they really calling for vuvu horns at BMO (@ Anon 10:41). Funny as always.
