Olympics

[Puja]

What the shit has gone on in the football?! As far as I can see, Argentina score an equaliser to make it 2-2 with 3 minutes to do, Morocco fans lose their shit and cause enough crowd trouble that the ref leads the teams off the pitch, it's considered to be a finished game until it's announced that the teams are actually going to come out and complete the last 3 minutes in an empty stadium and THEN, it's announced that the equalising goal has been ruled out by VAR over an hour after it was scored.

What the fuck? Certainly a non-controversial and sensible way to open the Olympics.

'The identity of the performers has been kept a tight secret...'
Will be interesting to see what big names are involved.
Can't see Macron diving out of a helicopter like HRH at 2012 though..

looks like they run out of cash

[paddy no 11]

I'd say no expense was spared given the cost of policing 6km of opening ceremony

It's just too grande and the sound quality is poor consequently etc

Picking up a bit after a touch Eurovision, not sure the al fresco approach has made it bigger/better.
Vive la difference!

Yes, vive la difference and let's have a merge of threads

Or a thread for Olympic cynicism and one for commentary
