25 years later, Sandstorm is still a banger.

 

[Big Baller]

 

[SirKicksalot]

Worst opening in 2800 years.

 

[Pancakes and Sausage]

This is the strangest shit I’ve ever seen.

I’m flabbergasted

 

[RJMacready73]

Really bad idea putting this all on the Seine, there's no spectacle it's all just little floats full o wankers, if your gonna go all decadence at least embrace your fucking history and have the dancers come out like a ball from Versailles and then progress into this modern shite and whys the Effille Tower not lit up??

 

[ADiTAR]

Do we have everything Claude? Everything except wipes for lenses.

 

[jufonuk]

It still goes from boring as shit to ok that’s pretty cool

Ok now they singing John Lennon the famous French singer from Les Beatuels

 

[RJMacready73]

Imagine if we put on a decent show...

 

[Giallo Corsa]

This was a proper opening ceremony - and in the land that birthed the event none the less.
It's not about bearded women, fat DJ's, non-abled doing breakdance, abhorrent trashy Eurotrance and general Western agendas.
It's not even about the "show" part of the whole.event, it's about culture and class - something which this French "event" lacks

 

[newtypepilot]

i really wonder if she is singing live as there will be a lot of background noise you have to isolate, like the rain, the engine of the barge, etc

 

[T8SC]

Here comes Seacroissant.

The West in general has lost its culture. But they did have a lot of French stuff in there.

 

[SirKicksalot]

First Assassin's Creed, now Animatrix. Wtf?

 

[ADiTAR]

This horse needs to end.

 

[DelireMan7]

This horse needs to end.

I find it really cool at the beginning. But this is way too long indeed

 

[SJRB]

This mechanical horse rider looks like a Dark Souls boss.

 

[SirKicksalot]

Jesus this horse thing won't end

 

[Big Baller]

Worst mount ever

 

[DelireMan7]

This mechanical horse rider looks like a Dark Souls boss.

The music is fitting well for a boss

 

[SJRB]

It's Celine Dion, bet on it.

Bro this is beautiful. The choreography, the music are insane.

 

[Big Baller]

 

[AJUMP23]

Give Olympics back to England, they know how to do opening ceremonies

Didn’t they have a whole sequence about their health care system. That was cringe.

 

[MaestroMike]

Shiny and chrome

 

[AJUMP23]

This knight in Paris is the dark souls of opening ceremonies.

 

[ADiTAR]

It's pouring the mf rain. Like Athletes are gonna suffer.

 

[RJMacready73]

Lol it is so bucketing down, I'd love to know how much Paris spunked on this shitshow lol it's gonna get slated tomorrow in the press... Oh wait they had bearded ladies and a breakdancing disabled midget, so it's a 5* hit

 

[AJUMP23]

What is this weird French stuff.

 

[T8SC]

Wet eh.

 

[ADiTAR]

[Big Baller]

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Grotesque, fuck France.

 

[SirKicksalot]

THE FLAG IS UPSIDE DOWN

 

[SJRB]

What is this weird French stuff.

 

[ADiTAR]

[DelireMan7]

THE FLAG IS UPSIDE DOWN

[RJMacready73]

[HAYA8U5A]

THE FLAG IS UPSIDE DOWN

 

[Gp1]

THE FLAG IS UPSIDE DOWN

The french military f*up... AGAIN!

 

[AJUMP23]

THE FLAG IS UPSIDE DOWN

Maybe they thought it was a way to surrender.

 

[SirKicksalot]

Shut the fuck up Jesus Christ

 

[T8SC]

 

[newtypepilot]

THE FLAG IS UPSIDE DOWN

one of them almost dropped it when unfolding it. Part of the flag was like an inch above the ground.

 

[ADiTAR]

they gonna light up the Tower with the Torch?

 

[SJRB]

O my god, Zidane has his lower button of his jacket not unbuttoned. This is by far the #1 sin a man wearing a suit can commit.

Look how shit his jacket fits as a result. Amateur hour.

Nadal, what a legend. Deserved limelight.

 

[RJMacready73]

Finally a bit of spectacle...

 

[BouncyFrag]
