Top 2010 World Cup controversies

VUVUZELAS: Worldwide audiences and soccer stars 鈥� including Portugal鈥檚 Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina鈥檚 Lionel Messi 鈥� have complained about the incessant high-pitched whine of the long plastic horns, called vuvuzelas, seen here at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. That reignited calls to ban the vuvuzela, but FIFA chief Sepp Blatter put an end to that discussion early in the tournament. A Cape Town businessman has touted his design for a slightly quieter vuvuzela that reduces the tuneless horn's sound output from a deafening 134 decibels to a more manageable 121 decibels. That sounds good.

Top 10 players to watch in the World Cup

LIONEL MESSI (Argentina): Shy, only 22, and already considered the best soccer player in the world, he鈥檚 a magician with the ball. You鈥檒l need slow motion to keep track of his footwork once he starts weaving through opponents inside the box. He scored one goal in his first World Cup appearance, in 2006, which also made him, at age 18, the youngest player to play for Argentina in the World Cup. 鈥淢essi is a creature as biologically adapted to play football as a shark is to smell blood, a salmon to swim upstream, a squirrel to gather nuts,鈥� says the London Times. He plays professionally for Barcelona. Soccer fans in Pretoria, South Africa, wave to Messi and teammate Juan Sebastian Veron during practice on June 6.
