Oh was it? I thought the other way around - either way, both good

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Most of the time it's just some low-budget dance routine and then a performance of the official song. The hosts this time clearly put a little more thought and investment into it.
Of course, if you're expecting it to be akin to an Olympic opening ceremony, you'll be sorely disappointed. That goes without saying.
Infantino sitting there like a lapdog.
Are the clips from the desert still referred to as grassroots?
Look at that bald feck in the background.
What was up with Morgan Freeman's left hand? Just didn't move
Where can I watch the Opening Ceremony
Currently can only find Linekar and Shearer chatting shit

What's Infantino being today? A sell-out?
The American broadcast is so cringe worthy, just lapping it all up.
Look at ex-ginger Infantino, so happy sitting with all the sheiks, bald must be 10x times richer now.
Such a good lapdog
Such a good lapdog
Yep Wavin' Flag made you feel all the feels.
What is he saying?
Nope. Waka waka was the official one.. had all the players.. famously..
Look who’s he sat next to… probably setting up a WC for the Saudis
Surely they can get a better translator
That General..not a good look
Welcome and Good Luck to all
Paying tribute to the workers who died making this happen hoepfully
I looked it up because it felt odd. Apparently one is the official anthem and the other is the official song.
Whatever
BBC are basically hiding the opening ceremony. An opening ceremony would normally be centre stage. It is hidden behind the red button. I will just wait for the game to start.
No idea as there’s no translator on the BBC feed or at the stadium
Wavin flag was the Coca Cola 'official' one I think.I looked it up because it felt odd. Apparently one is the official anthem and the other is the official song.
Whatever
I want to be cynical, but the ceremony was quite well done… Morgan Freeman’s lip syncing (and, hate to say it, poor acting/gestures) was the cringiest part.
I thought the tent stadium was in the desert, or was that just CGI lies? Not a good look.
Both are amazing songs one just has more hips than the other.I looked it up because it felt odd. Apparently one is the official anthem and the other is the official song.
Whatever
Some dude named Mr. Q on the US broadcast is dripping with pride.
Fair play. They are covering the controversy around this WC.
Most definitely.
I think he paralysed the hand during a car crash a few years ago.
Was anyone expecting otherwise? They have lots of money. It was the accommodations that shocked people.
Looks like Beijing Olympics 2008 is still untouchable as far as opening ceremonies go. However, this one was nice also.
Yep. He's the founder of Iloveqatar
Have bbc gone pro-qatar?
BBC are doing it right tbf

Exact opposite in the US broadcast. They are absolutely lapping it up.
64 Super Bowls in 29 days.
Yes, and apparently that's how they end up with an official song and an official anthem. Probably the best thing out of WC2010, along with Forlán killing it.
Very apt64 Super Bowls in 29 days.
