Writing in the Guardian, Simon Burnton hoped that “perhaps South Africa can learn from the loud wooden rattles that soundtracked British football in the post-war era – and fell out of favour when everyone realised just how annoying they were. I can only hope that one day soon a similar fate will befall the vuvuzelas.” 
Akiandika katika jarida la Guardian, Simon Burnton alitegemea kwamba “huenda Afrika Kusini ingejifunza kutoka kwenye yale manyanga ya mbao yaliyotumbuiza kandanda la Uingereza katika kipindi cha baada ya vita –na yaliyopoteza umaarufu wakati kila mmoja alivyogundua jinsi yanavyokera. natumaini kuwa siku hivi karibuni hatima mthili ya hiyo itayafikia haya mavuvuzela.”
