Beijing Opening Ceremony

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
What was Beckham doing at the closing ceremony? Or was it part of the 2012 handover, if so it makes sense I guess as he is like the ambassador for those Olympics, or something

Yeah was part of the handover.

The English part was so pathetic. Out of some ridiculous transforming bus was... Leona Lewis, who proceeded to butcher 'Whole Lotta Love' with Page. Then out of nowhere comes Beckham, who kicks a ball into the crowd.

Down on the ground there's "multicultural" dancers (meaning there was 3 black guys) with umbrellas.

Was Page sweating enough? Good lord.

Enjoyed the closing ceremony overall though, but expected a slightly better flame-extinguishing bit.

Thought the UK bit was terrible tbh. Good thing they've got 4 years to make to it better 8|

Surprised he didn't blaze a kick over the roof of the stadium TBH.

Yeah AWTA. At least expected him to boot it into the crowd but it didn't even make it that far. Pathetic.

While I liked that Double decker thing, it was a bit too theatrical. Beckam looked completely "what-the-damn" out there.
