Wait, that's it?

 

[FortuneFaded]

Can someone please explain to me what was so good about the opening ceremonies in South Africa, Germany, Japan/South Korea and France. A point by point analysis please.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Who is this doughy fella anchoring the ITV set? I've seen him so many times and never caught a name.

 

[RadixNegative2]

I guess it's over...

 

[danwarb]

86% Sterling. Ouch.

 

[Acorn]

Hashtag hashtag hashtag tweet tweet hashtag yolo

 

[maliedoo]

yeah that's it.... pre-game show is next, then the game

 

[liger05]

I saw the last 10 mins. It looked awful and the sound was abysmal.

 

[Mr Cola]

86% Sterling. Ouch.

As a United fan theres no fucking way id vote for Wellbeck over Sterling, one produces, the other doesnt.

 

[LorDjidane]

How was the sound for you? Here on French TV it was really shameful. Do they have sound engineers in Brazil?

 

[Mr.Marston]

86% isn't surprising. Welbeck is crap.

 

[Filaipus]

Jennifer Lopes danced very well....








Holy cow shes hot.

 

[PsychBat!]

Missed the entire thing, except J-Lo and Claudia Leitte. Did Pitbull show up?

 

[Hellion]

WTF is happening? Is this a commercial break? ESPN3 is showing the field and nothing is happening

Lmao.

 

[Acorn]

Ah the old get the foreigner to big up England trick.

Adrian Chiles. Jack of many presenting gigs, master of none.

DREADFUL opening ceremony, by the way.

Adrian Chiles ?

Maybe the worst sports anchor on TV , a blathering idiot with pretty much no football knowledge.

 

[Strictly]

How long till kick off?

 

[Kurtofan]

dat J-Lo/Leitte tho

redeeming point

 

[SargerusBR]

Adrian Chiles ?

You guys don't know Galvão Bueno then

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

He's quick he's fast and he's got pace.

 

[D4Danger]

Lallana is so white

 

[survivor]

How long till kick off?

70 mins

 

[FortuneFaded]

I think this like those experiments that they have where people watch a game of basketball and somehow miss the bear that walks on screen.

 

[t0rment]

that was.... kinda awful

 

[Mesousa]

How long till kick off?

70 min

 

[kingkitty]

You guys should have seen espn, I never really watch golf but it's actually not that bad. I felt relaxed.

 

[LuuKyK]

You guys don't know Galvão Bueno then

This.

According to our Dutch reporter, everyone is free in brazil today? No school etc

Schools are on vacation time, normally in July, but started earlier this year due to the WC

Pretty much all non essential jobs are suspended a few hours before Brazil matches, some restart after.

Some host cities have declared holidays on their match days.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

JLo ad the other girl...

lmao


worst ceremony of all time

 

[LanceVance]

ITV coverage of football has sucked for at least the last decade

 

[NH Apache]

How long till kick off?

just over an hour

 

[Peru]

Did someone gif the kid with the red card waving off the performers? Seems like it could be used for ugly fouls the tournamen through.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Hey guys, let's goooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[KingJolly]

I will laugh so hard if Croatia wins

 

[Acorn]

ITV coverage of football has sucked for at least the last decade

Yup. I wish the BBC got all the games. No ads and actual analysis.

And no Ian cunting Wright

 

[Ser Goje]

So bad.

 

[SargerusBR]

According to our Dutch reporter, everyone is free in brazil today? No school etc

Yep, every Brazil WC match is considered holiday in many cities

 

[ChapaNDJ]

So that's it?

 

[Willkiller]

ITV has sucked for at least the last decade

.

 

[Mesousa]

Making the days holidays makes it seem like would be easier for a bunch of bored people to protest.

 

[Acorn]

Remember the Townsend Tactics truck?

 

[CelticKnight]

I will laugh so hard if Croatia wins

Adrian Chiles will probably strip in joy if that happens. I pray that it doesn't.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Dutch people, why is our broadcast really fucking behind?

 

[gutterboy44]

This,

Made me think of this,

 

[Daigoro]

Marcello Balboa on the desk on Univision.

 

[Mr Cola]

Cannavaro and Viera are criticisng our location but the truth is, it doesnt matter, we arent going to win and we need to be happy with that.

 

[Tubie]

man still 1 hour ugh

 

[Yurt]

Forget Qatar

Can we strip BRAZIL of the World Cup

 

[brokenbeans]

What happens now? Still an hour before kick off.
