I am so torn on this one. I'm all for local tradition, but I watched the 
whole USA-England match with great audible irritation. It was so bad I 
considered running the audio through JACK on a Linux box and trying to 
eliminate the sound with some clever frequency hacking.

Alas, my motivation was crushed by my inability to stop watching long 
enough to do so :-)
