Kicking Off with a Squib?

I've made it! Got back in time to catch the very first sporting action from Brazil which is from the Olympic Stadium itself. As the anthems play it looks less densely populated than a folk street party. I may have misheard the anthem announcement in the English but I'm sure I heard the instruction for us to 'listen to the Swedish national anthem'. I'm hoping for the Brazillian authorities these little things won't be indicative of things to come.
Going by the team kit advantage has to go to South Africa. The Swedish kit full gold akin to a z-class cabaret tribute act; though the Africans kit looks like it has a high possibility of coming from one of those bulk-buy shirt-printing website shops.
This is the same turf the athletics is hoping to get on next week. From the first few minutes it looks like it might hold up quite well but even the biggest football grounds get churned up so quickly these days. Slow and bobbly.
