    Gotta say, Team GB are smashing it so far! Though Germany have finally decided to start playing seriously. This could be a tight one.

    Watched most of the opening ceremony and felt it was tasteful & emotive.
    Brilliantly done, and amazing dance/synch movement. I can't think how many hours of rehearsals they must have had!

    Ah brilliant @JW77 I got as far as D with the parade, then the ADHD kicked in and I had to go do something else, but I was enjoying the music for sure.
