Argentina completed the 1st round by collecting every possible point, 9 dots from 3 games. The tango boys managed to get to the quarter finals along with the Ivory Coast. Lionel Messi, whose country was so thankful for Barcelona that allowed him to play the Olympics is delighting the crowds with his skills, led the Tango boys on Wednesday to set a new Olympic record of 9 successive victories, from which 6 were achieved in Athens 2004 and 3 here in Beijing, China.
Brazil also moved up to the 8 round, with a perfect defensive lineup that kept its goal clean. The 2 South American teams blew away any Asian hope of qualifying, after knocking out China and Japan. Samba will meet the lions of Africa, the Cameroon and Argentina plays in opposition to Holland.
European bands such as Italy, Netherland and Belgium qualified with no surprises. Squadra Azura are proving the fact that the world championship wasn’t earned by chance, and willing to confirm it against Belgium in the quarter finals.
Orange Holland is still sticking to the team work and specific passing techniques, which we enjoyed in the European championship games.
Africa is absolutely proud with 3 nations qualifying to the 2nd round. Ivory Coast and Nigeria will be facing each others, with 1 to go back home, and 1 to qualify to the semi-finals.
From the other side, Cameroon facing the Brazilian Samba will have to give all they have to stop coach Dunga and friends, and qualify to the semis.
Sport betting sites and bet panels are getting crowded more and more as the competition turns so fierce among the best teams of the world. Ronaldinho wants to show what he’s really made of, while Messi doesn’t want to fail his home country! For bet fans, I recommend revising it real well before outlaying any penny on a team. They are all capable.
Personally, I would “put money on” that football tickets are sold out already for each and every one of these games, and that crowds and atmosphere in the stadiums, will be the best part of the game.
Millions of people were amazed by that little girl with her sweetest voice ever at the Opening Ceremony!!!
The patriotic song “Hymn to the Motherland” at the Opening Ceremony was sang by a 9 year old girl “Lin Miaoke”…. that’s what all the audience watched and heard…
But no!!!! We’ve been fooled by the Chinese Opening.
Lin Miaoke was the beautiful looking girl on stage, but the beautiful voice you heard was that of “Yang Peiyi” the 7 year old girl, whom was hidden back stage since, as they said, had nice voice with bad teeth…not good to be shown on stage. Isn’t that shocking!
Lin Miaoke got all the praise…and innocent Yang Peiyi is just proud to be chosen to sing!
The Grand opening didn’t just have dancers all over the National Stadium,Bird’s Nest Stadium, not only drummers performing amazingly, not only space performers….but astonishing fireworks that exploded all over Beijing…The globe that illuminated the stadium was nothing compared to the fireworks.
However, we’ve been hearing that the fireworks were partly faked! All those watching live, whether in the stadium or on TV…they have seen a pre-recorded shot!!! on the other hand, videos were taken from Chinese street and it didn’t seem faked at all… what’s the truth behind this ! ?
De 29:e olympiska spelen kommer att ske i Beijing (Peking), under perioden 8-24 augusti 2008 i Kinas huvudstad. Invigningen kommer att starta på kvällen 2008-08-08 klockan 08:08:08.


Det är inte länge kvar till OS start och alla ögon är riktade mot Kina. De har många olika kriterier att uppfylla och kraven måste uppnås för att allt ska gå rätt till. Flera års förberedelser och massor med miljoner investerade i nya sportarenor. Kommer allt vara på plats inför vad många säger att det ska vara det mest sensationella OS någonsin?
Missa inte den fantastiska färden med de fantastiska sporterna som finns.

Lyrics:
“Welcome to Beijing ”
Another morning is coming, and brings in the fresh air
Our friendship will never change, just like the fragrance of green tea
My door is always open for you, and I’m here for you with open arms
You’d know me better when you hugged me, and you will love it here
Be my guest no matter you are from home and abroad
You are here as promised, friends we welcome you
I grow green plant at home to show you all the legends in the past
I want to plant in the soil to make you good memories
Friends and strangers, you are all my guests, and please be at home
No matter how many times we meet, there are still a lot to talk about
Welcome to Beijing, we will show you a brand new place
The charm of Beijing is full of life
Welcome come to Beijing, let’s breath together in the sunshine
We want to make new record on this yellow soil
I always keep my doors open, to welcome the world
The old ages is smiling like youth, to welcome that day
We are all friends, please make yourself at home
With all the smiles, I am here waiting for you—-By Hangeng
Welcome to Beijing, May my music touch you
Let’s working hard and try to go beyond ourselves
Welcome to Beijing, it’s great to be able to have dream
Just be brave and there will be a miracle
