No Olympic spirit or sour grapes?



There is nothing more thrilling, fun and amazing when it all comes together and you can party for 17 days in a row.

Was 'there', did it and had a effing blast too.

The lead in and the Games are something that changes you town forever, it's a great deal of money and hassle? But, you get to say, "I am a ---------, this is MY town" or you can sit in front of the tube and see your little corner of the world is on display for the planet.

Go to any international match/sport where a Brazilian team plays. Those fans are crazy, they never shut up, sit down or stop moving.

They put any 'fanantic' to shame.
