1. There is two stats missing

The number of vevuluzzas or what ever the are that games and how many people need hearing assistance following attendance.

2. sales in England

While still in the group stages, supermarket Sainsbury's said its World Cup ranges - including England branded vuvuzelas - were selling very well, although overall sales growth in the three months to 12 June was an anaemic 1.1%, its lowest level since the end of 2004.

The retailer – which picked up on the horns after last year's Confederations Cup in South Africa – had sold 40,000 England-branded vuvuzelas at £2 each by June 12. In the hours ahead of England's opening match against the USA, the supermarket was shifting a vuvuzela every two seconds.
