[Kurtofan]

It's raining on Hyde Park lol.

 

[VelvetMouth]

Can we help people unlock iPlayer without ban?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Any sheep in the stadium?

 

[Wes]

Any sheep in the stadium?

All the sheep.

 

[BigJonsson]

I bet we see some fancy chickens too

 

[Kurtofan]

Any sheep in the stadium?

Sheep, geese and horses.

[killer_clank]

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Wait NBC not showing the opening live??

BHAHAHAHAAaa!! oh man, lets pretend things didnt happen yet

wow

Dammit. Screw you NBC!

 

[B-Dex]

It looks like the shire with a maypole and a quaint english country cottage.

 

[VelvetMouth]

There are clouds overhead! It looks awesomely quiant.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Cutting to people in period dress feeding goats is wonderfully bizarre

 

[Hackbert]

let´s race those sheeps..

cool clock projection

 

[Wes]

The time being shown on the crowd! Awesome.

 

[killer_clank]

ho lee fuck that countdown is cool.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Very excite!

 

[D4Danger]

that cloud above John McEnroe's head makes him look like he's in The Sims

 

[DECK'ARD]

Light up seats for the countdown?

That's cool.

 

[Jensen]

Red Arrows!

 

[Salvadora]

I have a feeling I'll be cringing quite a lot tonight.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Will 007 be in this opening ceremony?

 

[Majine]

What the hell. Already underwhelming.

 

[Owensboro]

McEnroe? Awesome.

 

[zero_suit]

Those planes!

 

[Wes]

Love me some Red Arrows!

 

[TheBioLover]

The Red Arrows are fucking awesome.

 

[twobear]

Pink white and blue, the British colours!

 

[Juicy Bob]

I do wonder why sports like tennis, where winning a Grand Slam is more prestigeous than an Olympic Gold, are Olympic sports.

Winning a Gold Medal should be the ultimate achievement in any sport.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Red Arrows

*salute*

 

[Graphics Horse]

hold your fire missile guys, they're friendly.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Will 007 be in this opening ceremony?

Apparently he will.

 

[ckohler]

Wow. Those crowd countdown clocks are cool. Nice flyover also!

(Yes, I was able to figure out a way to watch.

 

[Chris R]

NBC doesn't understand that most people will check Twitter for results during the daytime and not bother watching taped coverage when they will likely know the outcome already =/

Still can't believe they won't have live coverage but they make more money showing everything in prime time

They will have live coverage of some stuff, good thing the sports I care about aren't ever shown in prime time. Sorry for all you swimming/gymnastics lovers though.

But yes, show the damn opening ceremony live idiots.

 

[Owensboro]

I assume the Red Arrows are the UK's version of the Blue Angels? Please excuse my USA ignorance.

The World Cup disagrees.

 

[Kurtofan]

Nice gesture from the British to do that for France!

 

[Beaulieu]

Is there a link to see the ceremony on the internet ?

 

[Subitai]

The day NBC pwned America.


The rest of their sports will be streamed live if not televised live at least. =/ I upgraded my Dish to 250 and now will get 3 additional channels of coverage. XD

 

[twobear]

That was such a fucking mental week. The day after those fuckers blew up the underground.

This is it gerls, I can feel myself swelling with patriotic mucus.

[edit]LOL @ the clouds floating over the arena.

 

[ckohler]

I take it the Red Arrows are the European analog to the US Blue Angels?

 

[Joel Was Right]

Here comes the rain

I take it the Red Arrows are the European analog to the US Blue Angels?

British. And they are better than the Blue Angels

#rulebritannia

 

[Kurtofan]

I take it the Red Arrows are the European analog to the US Blue Angels?

You mean British not European.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I take it the Red Arrows are the European analog to the US Blue Angels?

Yes. Er, The British one anyway.

 

[Levyne]

Is there a link to see the ceremony on the internet ?

I'm sure there is but no luck so far finding a legitimate one

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Boyle is directing this, right?

I demand Rage virus zombies.

 

[LanceVance]

I take it the Red Arrows are the European analog to the US Blue Angels?

British*

So damn awesome

 

[Wes]

So those are the white and gold uniforms we'll be wearing. Look very nice!

 

[altaz]

I have to agree with Michael Johnson, i think the athletes will regret not being at the opening ceremony.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Boyle is directing this, right?

I demand Rage virus zombies.

For 127 hours.

 

[Noaloha]

Fuck you, Red Arrows; I claim to not have a philosophical affiliation with the idea of national pride! What did you just do to me?!
