Bastard's have knicked the boat off our badge!

On their badge as well.

Is this Italian opera?

Carmen is Bizet

 

[I'm With Stupid]

too much like Eurovision - you know those breaks where you get film footage and Graham Norton says " Ahh we have the entry from the Czech Republic or Chechia and they now call it - this is Nico who comes from Ostrava and these are pictures of that City, not sure who the girl is, er...... Ostrava is famous it seems for it flowers - you can see her running through the fields - oh and bizarrely also steel production"

I'd rather have a sarcastic Eurovision commentary though.

 

[Blue tube]

Gojira were quality, never fails to make me laugh at how confused bbc commentators are by metal bands

They are always phenominal.

I tuned in just for that bit, I can switch over now hahaha

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Even the Limpics ceremony can't escape the Autotune.

 

[BimboBob]

Amazing Dad dancing from the old man leading the brass band.

Russian competing for Cyprus because her dad has a business there, give over.

They are class. Enjoying every minute of this so far though, spectacular.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Is it me or does he BBC coverage have a constant sound of raindrops in the background?

 

[kunaguero10]

This is shit, give me the athletes dancing into a stadium anyday

UAE says hold my (non-alcoholic) beer.

This opening is unadulterated pish

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

This is shit, give me the athletes dancing into a stadium anyday

Tiny spectacles spread across the length of the whole river.
Spectacularly uninspiring.
Reckon I could have done a better job with just a month to prepare…

Every team on a boat, one after the other…
You dance over there…
You dance over there…
Put a few big posters up on the riverbanks…job done!

It's like an open-topped bus tour, except without the pissed players.

 

[crooky]

Not long left... Hopefully

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

It would help a great deal if they filtered out the noise of the rain. Jeez its incessant there.

 

[west didsblue]

It's like an open-topped bus tour, except without the pissed players.

Or the bus

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Why is there a constant rain sound? I've watched plenty of sports during the rain and I've never heard the rain that loudly before.

 

[MCFC1993]

UAE says hold my (non-alcoholic) beer.

I'd imagine everyone going to Dubai to train is getting offers to represent them.

 

[crooky]

Think I've seen enough.

Is there some sort of grande finale at the end?
