The soccer semi-final between Canada and USA was amazing!

What a heartbreaking loss for Canada though with Alex Morgan scoring in the 123rd minute to win it 4-3.

Hell of a game. They walked away with a bronze at the end.  Still a great accomplishment.

U.S.A. females won the gold medal match against Japan. Thankfully NBC had commentator from England.

Good to see 2012 go out with a bang, the closing ceremony was much better than the 'meh' opening ceremony which I didn't enjoy. But London did a great job in general if you ask me. Especially compared to Athens, which was an uninspired dud, and Beijing, whose ceremonies were oversized, soulless military parades in my opinion. Anyway, bravo London for some great games! Now, I wonder what 'los brasileiros' have in store for the world 2016.

I would like to congratulate everyone involved in what was a fantastic Olympics.

All athletes, volunteers, organisers, builders, funders, television crew, artists, architects, performers, commentators etc. Everyone is a winner.

I am particularly impressed with USA. I don't have to explain why. Just refeer to the medals tables.


Team GB. Just wow! You know how happy I am about Team GB.
Great athletic performance. A fantastic host city. Enteraining opening and closing ceremonies.
Terrific work from our volunteers.

But all nations did fantastic. Don't be dissapointed. All naitons
I was so impressed with how athletes from competing nations got on so well.


The fun doesn't end yet...

There is the paraolympics to look forward too. Check out this thread

Yorkshire would have finished 12th in the table if we were an independent country, we carried GB!

Also heard recently that NBC chose to show an interview with Michael Phelps instead of the 7/7 tribute part of the opening ceremony. Obscene.

If that's true then damn that's pretty disgusting and downright disrespectful, wtf is wrong with the American media? If the Olympics were in the USA this year, and the ceremony had a small 9/11 tribute, could you imagine the outrage amongst americans if the BBC, for example, replaced that section with an interview? The BBC would never do such a thing anyway, the British are respectful. Yet the american media replaces a memorial for British terroism victims without a second thought. *sigh*

Anyway I know that no political discussion is allowed so nevermind. I actually heard that NBC's coverage has been terrible anyway and that they've sparked all sorts of other controversy and anger as well.

I found the closing ceremony a big bore and a massive joke. One Direction and Ed Sheeran? Seriously London 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony? Seriously? It was awful. Terrible. Then George Micheal came on and started singing and I just left the room after that.

Don't get me started about Winston Churchill popping out of Big Ben and quoting from Shakespeare. The acting was done poorly by the guy playing Churchill and then later Elton John (yeah I know it wasn't really him since he's dead and it probably wasn't his clone either. The guy looked like Elton John though because he had the same blond hair in the same style and he wore some ridiculous glasses so I'll just refer to him as Elton John even though it wasn't) came on waving the English flag and then I saw some clown falling off a line he was supposed to be balancing on (yes it was an actual muck-up).

Christ, it was a joke.

Apart from the mediocre opening ceremony and joke of a closing ceremony, I did enjoy the Olympics.

"Now we're tearing the stadium down and building a council owned estate in its place!"

Millions of pounds down the drain and ultimate trolling at its best.

 Whatever.

Yeah well I enjoyed it. It started off bad, similar to the terrible opening ceremony, but it got much better and better, hell of a show imo. Probably would have enjoyed it less though if I wasn't drinking. But anyway i though it was silly, fun but genuinly British, and I'm a bit of a kiljoy. A great soundtrack, except for the Spice Girls.

And what's that bull**** about pulling the stadium down? Uh what? Thing cost nearly £500million. Stop talking crap.

Could the UK really afford the Olympics? No.
Was it worth it? Absolutely yes.

NBC was one huge fail this Olympics. I don't remember them showing a single event live, not even the men's 100m track finals.

Okay an over-exaggeration but they are planning to build over 8000 houses in some spots in the Olympic Park:

I guess I was fed misinformation about the stadium being torn down...

You didn't like Beijing's ceremony . It was the best one I've ever seen; it was absolutely amazing. London's ceremonies were all pretty boring.
