    I'm 26, Euro 2012 can't be topped anytime soon in terms of quality but this is gonna be good.

    No tournament will top Euro 2000.

    The media always seem to play up the negatives before a tournament.

    Look at the coverage before South Africa, everyone attending would be mugged/murdered and there was little actual violence.

    Or Euro 2012, the Polish hooligans would be on the rampage against foreign supporters, well there was some trouble that was mostly between the hooligans themselves.

    It turned out to be much worse. 1 million voovoozelas worse.

    So how long will it take for Eamonn Dunphy to declare that this isn't a "vintage world cup"?

    90 mins before kickoff though.

    And a huge part of the main stand is media & VIPs.

    Can't imagine they are too enthralled at the moment.... This is a desperate opening ceremony.

    London 2012 it ain't.

    It looks kind of cheap. Despite knowing how expensive it was.

    I was about to voice a somewhat similar view. I don't think Danny Boyle was involved anyway.

    Can't help thinking of Shakira and Waka Waka. That was a really great song actually.
