RTE really missed a trick by not having a simulcast stream in the studio with the lads' expression as this shíte goes on.

My thoughts exactly.

Some of those lads with the football helmets on looked like they'd been told they'd be shot if they screwed up.

Why is every opening ceremony for any sports event (World Cup/Euros/Olympics) like this? Always a big load of rubbish with silly costumes and dancing with poor old George Hamilton reading out the nonsense script that all this crap supposedly represents.

Just start the football, I seriously doubt there is much crossover among fans of football and contemporary dance (or whatever this stuff is).

At least she's.not miming...

He sounded VERY stiff and awkward at the start of this as opposed to the Champions League Final ceremony. I suppose this is a longer gig to strap in for.

Has Shakira been replaced by Pitbull? :mad:

Jennifer Lopez? Brazil has quite a rich musical culture of its own, why was it necessary to get her to do the song?

String

This is dreadful stuff. Worst lip syncing attempt ever also 0/10

Can anybody hear what in the Fook they are trying to sing / mime ?

I will give you that, the London Olympic's ceremony was the exception, a celebration of British culture and it worked. Why can't this be a genuine celebration of Brazilian culture? That would be interesting... but J-Lo and Pitt Bull? This is junk.

They couldn't go with Shakira for fear all the other WAGs would try to muscle in aswell..

This is so rubbish. Bring on the paralysed lad in the exo-skeleton, and get on with things properly then.

Pitbull = Terry Tibbs.

in fairness the Olympics are more known for their opening ceremonies than the World Cup. We'll see what they give us in 2016!

Oafley Jones

Also, not a tit to be seen!!! I still fondly remember the opening ceremony to Italia 90. Bless those Italian designers.

jojofizzio

Who the hell was the one in blue??

Anyone

Some side boob at least, and a bualadh bos for J-Lo's lovely bottom.

brazilian culture tends to be a bit tacky

Sure, it can be tacky, but tacky and authentic is very different to whatever that was. There is quite a lot of good music from Brazil, they could have done a lot better than that.

I wouldn't be surprised if some suit in FIFA wrote that whole thing in his office in Switzerland.

I turned on ITV for a second and saw them talking about Barkley being late for the bus. Changed channel very swiftly.
