I'm disappointed that only one sailing race will be shown on TV in the U.S....

Couldn't agree more.

This was the worst opening ceremony of modern Olympic games. And i thought that no ceremony could be worse than Atlanta's. I was surprised to read that people liked it. I know no one who did. A disgraceful parody with Mr.Bean flinging his snot rag, a convoluted mess and a complete waste of resources.

So far, I am enjoying watching the swimming. It looks properly organized.

Considering the budget of the ceremony was £27,000,000, they did rather well compared to the $300,000,000 budget in Beijing and Athens $100,000,000 budget.

My friend made a joke about how our ceremony cost £8,000,000 less than the transfer of Andy Carroll

On another note:

HONDURAS!

actually I am from Denmark so I support the Danish sailing sports and teams of course, but most of all I support the Danish Handball team, which just won their opening game against Hungary 29-27.

I support them, but this game was so humiliating, Denmark's defense crumbled, our shooters couldn't score and we let everything fall apart all the time, and Denmark seriously wasn't playing their A game U_U

Spain! What a disappointment, yet again, what a shocker!
Guess Brazil is a clearer favorite than ever before now, although I do wonder what went wrong with the Spanish side? Maybe the youngsters who recently won the U23/21(?) Euro is the good generation, and since they weren't with the Olympics side, they weren't that good. But then again, I heard so much promising about the generation who went to the Olympics... Their group should have been a walk in the park... no, walk in the grocery store

What's all this talk around the Olympics that Spain will give the USA basketball team some competition? The Gasol brothers and Ibuka were impressive, but not "that" impressive.

Kobe Bryant
Lebron James
Kevin Durant
Andre Igudala (probably spelled wrong)
Carmelo Anthony

Come on now...it's not even fair.

Re: London Olympics 2012 Official Thread - Discussion, Opinions, Results & All News!

@Relax - Always wondered why you say "we" when talking about Spain? It says you're in Canada in "your location," does this mean that you're really Spanish and just moved to Canada or something, or does this mean that you're so into Spain that you refer to them as your own country? Been curious about that since the Euro.

I was born in Spain and lived there for at least two years of my childhood. I have a bit of Spanish inside me (maybe 5%) thru distant relatives, but not entirely. I have always supported Spain, so I refer to them as "we"

Spain is out of olympics. I was quite disappointed. I just think they put too much pressure on themselves after winning the under 21/23 WC (I think), and the how the main Spain national team won Euro/WC/Euro. There was a lot of hope on them. They dominated games, but as usually Spain lacked in defending mainly set pieces and counter attacks.
