I have a horrible feeling when it's our turn in 2012 it is gonna be cack. If the logo is anything to go by we are just gonna embarrass ourselves. (Anyone remember the millennium fiasco with the fireworks on the Thames not actually going off?)

Hope I'm wrong...

Its very impressive!

I hope we dont embarrass ourselves in 2012, i'd like to take my son along to watch some of it x

That was really good. I liked the globe with the people running around the outside. And the shadow boxing stuff. Actually I liked all of it.

We are never gonna be doing anything like that...!

I agree it was very impressive but it kinda takes the shine off it when you remember that 4000 people were forcible evicted from their homes which were then bulldozed to build that stadium. I think id rather have a substandard olympic opening ceremony than than live in a country that committed human rights violations on that scale!
