Let’s noise it up. The understandable sound of booing was drowned out by Rooney’s angry words, causing a stir that even the Vuvuzela creator would be proud of. North Korea went silent (not for the first time) as their players went AWOL (or did they?). Ghana went crazy, but not as crazy as the United States over the peep of a whistle. There’s even more buzz around Milos Krasic now, but sometimes words are not enough – just ask Mascherano and Maradona.
