And there probably ARE!

On topic of satanic, when the children sang at beginning I thought they sang "satanic hills" then it changed into oh Danny boy song.

They did.

Blake. Jerusalem.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

Tried all over for a link to the ceremony but nothing

According to historians, the U.S. has not dipped the Stars and Stripes since 1908 when the Summer Games were first staged in London and shotputter Ralph Rose refused to lower the flag supposedly saying: "This flag dips for no earthly king."

Morocco coming soon!

I like the pink and blue what country was that?

Some guy just did the Nazi salute multiple times when Germany came out

I just got up from a nap, just realizing that we are not going to see it LIVE! WHY WHY WHY??? Too late for me to watch live stream, already missed most of it.

I am not happy.

Dipping the flag is a london tradition of putting the flag down 45 degrees.

Whether you believe in it or not, you still do it. Just like you expect people to remove their shoes in your home or take off their hats in a church.

Its so much fun to analyse and yes we will remember the sport too once it starts properly.

I am taking my son and his friend to Wembley on Tuesday to watch team GB womens football, so it will be really special this year! Wondering what size flag I can get away with! As I am quite short does that mean I can wear a REALLY big union jack hat?

Rolling in the deep followed by staying alive..........is anyone else hearing these songs

That's an allegory pointing to resurrection, although I don't think even Jesus cared much for "the deep"..

Australian commentators said he was a former athlete and now coach

I am curious what will happen when Iran comes through. They are on the H's now.

Pink blue is germany.

And yes there was somebody in thea udience doing a strange salute...

The 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony begins at 9 p.m. in London. But if you're not a Brit, you'll probably watch it at 7:30 p.m.--no matter what city you're in. That's because NBC isn't airing the opening ceremony live. Instead, NBC is using an old-fashioned tape delay, so that everyone tunes in during prime-time. Oh, and don't even think about streaming the ceremony live.

While NBC is promising livestreams of all 32 sports and 302 medals, it won't livestream the opening ceremony. “It was never our intent to livestream the Opening Ceremony or Closing Ceremony," Gary Zenkel, president of NBC Olympics, told the Wall Street Journal.

"Whoa whoa whoa, wait a second - NBC is broadcasting the opening ceremony on TAPE DELAY? It's 2012!," Tweeted one viewer.

And Matt Wells, a blogs editor for the Guardian's New York office, Tweeted: "NBC showing complete contempt for its audience by not showing or streaming Olympics opening ceremony live."

Never heard of such a thing, $^$^%^^$ ers
