    Good luck Japan and GO AUSSIES! 2 great teams supported by like-minded sports nuts - who will hopefully dominate their events and nab plenty of gold!

    My TV feed showed the Jordanian team instead of the Japanese athletes when they entered. They were talking about the Japanese, but not showing them. Bummer!

    My wife made a great point - with many other nations wearing national dress - why shouldn't the Japanese wear cool yukata/kimono/jinbei? Instead, they look just like us Aussies - smart but ultra-conservative. Spice it up next time and be proud of your national costumes - the world would love it!

    I was shocked when they played 'Galvanize' during that parade. Other than that, it was really cool.

    C'mon Foxie - Galvanize is a pretty cool Chemical Bros. track! Also good to hear a bit of Underworld in there! The music soundtrack was the best ever heard in an Olympics from my view, no contest.

    the opening was awesome in London, granted i think chinas was better ;P but they did really good i was impressed, just wished i could of been there. I bet if it were done in japan theyd prolly have gackt, god zilla and gundam lol jk jk, but i did dig the Queens entrance that was pretty flashy entrance the whole 007 thing was awsome.
