I suspect they haven't officially named it EU5 yet because they are not sure this will turn out as something they want to waste the brand on.

Think of the stupidest things in the world and there'll always be someone who believes it.

Yeah, we had that guy posting that Nazis supported Israel earlier.

The Assassin's Creed tribute was cool. But I liked the entire package.

Liked the last bit of the ceremony much better. The boat bits were pretty awful imho. Particularly all those small nations with pitiful boats and then the big countries in their large superyachts. Not a good look

We don't have an Olympics thread?

Although Bhutan's boat was tiny but lovely.

Also the thing I found weirdest were the multi-country boats that looked like Thames Clippers - like Germany, Albania and someone else (who is before Algerie) sharing a boat

I agree. I'm not sure the opening ceremony on the river really worked too well. It was a bit bitty and disconnected. Some were great (Marie Antoinette) but because it was in different locations it didn't really seem like a show. Until the last hour or so once they got to the Eiffel Tower so it was all in one place - and that section was fantastic (although again on issues with rivers - they're quite long so the ghost rider took a while).

And on the rain - feel very, very sorry for Paris because this is just dreadful luck

Something for this thread or EU thread. But read a bit in Forbes on national security concerns in the rest of the Schengen area after Hungary's extending guest worker "national cards" to Russians and Belarussians from July.

Yeah that's potentially huge.

Not a song per se. I only listen to classical music. In that field, Canadian anthem. I love it musically.
