2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil: Opening Ceremony

Post by Coach »

Very Eurocentric thus far, granted Vasco et al pillaged and seeded the soil, but there was a history long before their insurgence. Capoeira dancers, a solitary raisin amidst the porridge, Brazil is indeed finished. Waiting with bated breath for the scene depicting the African culture inseparably entwined to Brazilian history. #whatashame

This song by j lo and pitbull seems so inaudible. Who is the lady in blue?

Think thread needs to be moved to eagles nest also.

Honestly same thing coach said. Dull! Maybe the protests took the focus off the preparations.

For a country with so much flair and swagger, this was dry. :curse:

Barely a black face amongst the capoeira dancers, pathetic. May they be beaten merciless when the time comes.
