Ok I am putting it back on.

[Sidewaysbob]

Well, good work Argentina. That's how you enjoy yourselves in an empty stadium 

[mexos]

Abandon ship!

[Sidewaysbob]

Dual flag wavers isn't really working is it. 

[Oracle]

That can't be the opening ceremony? That was utter shit.

[Sidewaysbob]

I hope the organiser was better at comedy.... Oh wait

[Sidewaysbob]

Hurrah it's us. 

[Bacon Horsemeat]

The Dutch wore orange, including their faces!

It's been the highlight so far

I suppose a massive bombastic celebratory ceremony would have been in quite poor taste though, wouldn't it?

[Harrisown]

All these countries I’ve never heard of with the Union Jack in their flag.

Maybe, but I think they could have done  something low key and heartfelt. This was just short. 

[Sidewaysbob]

All the athletes in the stadium are just sitting down. 

Would it not have been better to just bring all the flags and one athlete in and say thank you to them for staying the course and still believing in the Olympics. 

[Nick R]

Calm down, Portugal

[Sidewaysbob]

It's always nice to see the IOC representative of each country to stand up and wave, thus justifying their wages for another 4 years 

[Nick R]

French guy doing a backflip! 😎

[Gotters]

 

[Sidewaysbob]

Oh hello, we have more. 

[Sidewaysbob]

Yet more jazz dancing. 

[Sidewaysbob]

Sexy drone light show and ila bit of John lennon... Nice 

[Minion]

Columbia's Kimono's were banging I want one of those!

 

This John Lennon cover is awful.

[Sidewaysbob]

I think "imagine" has become a very well used song. Time someone wrote a new one

[cubik]

John Legend should be forced to change his name. Absolutely over the top pub singing awfulness

[Minion]

The Spanish guy was funny. Oh yes Yoko Ono I see the link now, god I'm slow...

[krenzler]

They couldn’t afford rights to Zelda/Mario music?

Are you kidding? I hear those games sell for over $1million a piece!

[Darwock]

I’m ashamed, I only identified the two Final Fantasy pieces, and the Ace Combat one. I didn’t even spot Soul Calibur! Delete my account.

[Sidewaysbob]

Just say you fell asleep, everyone will understand.
