That ground looks fantastic! No running track or other bullshit round the pitch! Built for football!!

 

[Belushi]

Thought I might watch the opening ceremony but ten minutes in I don't know how much more Chiles, Wright et al I can take.

Shameful that the BBC are not covering. Maybe will try the BBC 5 radio commentary and see if is okay.

I was totally just coming on to post that. As I don't watch a lot of sport I wasn't sure if it was totally ripped off the London Olympics or whether if you have seen one opening ceremony you've seen them all.

Well, specifically I was thinking about the fact that in two years Brazil are going to have to come up with a whole new opening ceremony for the 2016 Olympics.

The difficult second ceremony

 

[ffsear]

Feels like the opening ceremony to the hunger games

agreed i was expecting lots of loud music and dancing and all that kind of stuff. this is just some really weak shit and there's no atmosphere at all
