OLYMPIC GAMES 2012

[doctormalisimo]

What was done at Hampden was technically wrong, but I still find it funny.

If it happened to any other country, it would be a simple mistake and no one would care (except if it was the Ireland flag replaces by the British one or vice versa, thats the sort of thing that would cause a riot in Glasgow), but the fact that is was North Korea, the most lulzy country on Earth, just made it hilarious. Im surprised they even know what the South Korean flag looks like 2

Honduras 2 - 2 Morocco xD

Im happy with our opening game!

Barrada opened the scoreline in 39th min then after the break Honduras pulled 1 back with Bengston equalising on 56th min.

in 65th min Honduras has won a penalty with Bengston taking and scoring to bring Honduras in the lead but 2 mins after Labyad scored and equal the score in 67th min

in the 72th min Morocco was 10 man as defender Bergdich was sent off.

Honduras 61% Possesion Morocco 39%

UAE is winning Uruguay 1-0

Watching it on a UAE television on the satelite and the commentator is hilarious especially when he was saying prayers for UAE at the start of the game LOL

Can someone explain why the sporting events have begun already, before the opening?

I'm not really knowledgable about the Olympics, so maybe it's actually common for them to start before, but it seems to me that the opening ceremony should mark the beginning of the competitions

Just the football does, cuz there isnt enough time to fit it into the normal Olympic schedule

The torch at Buckingham Palace!

And at 10 Downing Street!!

The Olympic Flame sailing up the River Thames, past the Houses of Parliament, aboard Her Majesty's Barge 'Gloriana'. It's since left the River Thames at Tower Bridge and is heading towards the Olympic Park.

What a magnificent opening! especially I like references to the Industrial Revolution, Women's and Workers' rights. A reference to the King Arthur would be nice as well but anyway

James Bond ftw!

Children's choir were great

Pretty patriotic and folkloric opening indeed

And the most breathtaking part was where the huge olympic rings were set on fire

J.K. Rowling xwooxwoo it reminded me of the scene where Harry Potter was reading a book on bed in the beginning of the Chamber of Secrets. I think that was the reference.

Rowen Atkinson was hilarious 3

 

[Archer]

Songs choices are great, Queen and Sex Pistols ftw

Pink Floyd could be used as well.

I hope they did not forget The Beatles :?

And it's bad that they spared very short time for Charlie Chaplin...

 

[Archer]

Iron Maiden is also missing...

 

[Venage]

OMG OMG our outfits were horrible. Pink and light blue, really? oO

 

[Archer]

Neslihan Darnel looked gorgeous while bearing our flag

 

[Jukica]

Nice opening, Mr. Bean was my fave part and Olympic fire too

Beautiful show! Totally different from Beijing, but extremely good. I disliked the beginning though (with the middle ages and industrial revolution). It was fantastic of course, but a bit out of place imo.

And ALLEZ LA BELGIQUE of course !

I loved the colours of the world . We have a wonderful world, shame we waste it .
