Many Downers are enjoying the World Cup football (soccer) games currently taking place. But they don't have anything to do with Middle-earth, you think? Check out this video clip.

Ah! That solves the mystery of why the Nazgûl's cries were so devastating to the mind and spirit: they were actually using vuvuzelas!

Vuvuzelas, vuvuzelas, vuvuzelas. In dark Port Elizabeth's sides they dimly echoed. Great vuvuzelas of the North wildly blowing. Defoe had scored at last

Quote:

With that he seized a great vuvzela from David James his goalie, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightway all the vuvuzelas in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the vuvuzelas of Rooney in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains

Though I still reckon England will go out on penalties to Germany as usual!
