For a 12 day sporting event.

It's a wonder this stupid UK government didn't offer to bump up the money, to help Australia out.

i also thought both opening and the closing ceremonies their shows were similarly great or even better than olympics shows


i feel sad for Australia that they can't host always such a strong powerhouse nation and the aussies is like our 2nd nation here in the family, we always support them in everything (World Cup, Olympics, Eurovision)
