I'm not really the avid sports fanatic I must admit. I'm only really watching the major games as well as my country's matches.. C'MON ENGLAND!! Also I really would like to beat a few people on Dreamteam, now wishing I had Naymer on mine!
Okay, so the opening ceremony, well hello Brazil, I want to be in you in carnival season! The ceremony starts off with charmingly colourful choreographed performances bringing to life the themes of the Brazilian rainforest, the countries development and of course a node to the beautiful game - football. And then, we move to the "buzz" entertainment.. We all thought at this point that booby carnival girls would samba on, I think it would have been more to taste. Instead we have a lovely blonde girl, J-Lo and Pitbull singing, I haven't a clue what about as the sound quality was incredibly poor, and I don't really believe the commercial style was the route to go down here, it all kind of fizzled out after that..
The first match - Brazil vs Croatia. Where do I start? Being the hosts of the World Cup, being the very first game, you'd think Brazil wouldn't shoot an own goal right? Doh! Naymer certainly pulled it back though and made his mark in the football world.. Although the decisions made by the referee were questionably in favour of the hosting team..
Think positive. Be happy. x
