RedArmy Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 This is dreadful. You would think with more space and less faffing about with having to move scenery etc around inside a stadium that this would be spectacular but it’s as dull as you’d expect the French to be.

Colinjb Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) As I understand it, the best bit was the band Gojira playing earlier. Of course, missed that.

Colinjb Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) Back to taking the piss though. Their creation of an arena for their administrative speeches underneath the Eiffel Tower, packed to the rafters with people in the pouring rain where nothing else essentially happened.
