This is one boat I'd have no trouble with stopping.

Can’t believe no Asterix

Hosting it on the Seine was really thinking out the box and a brave decision, but three things. It lacks the atmosphere of a stadium, the weather is dreadful which is causing problems and they've had no rehearsal, which really showed in the opening ten mins. They seemed to sort the cameras out, but then all those fountains getting in the way of the filming of the boats.

The Eiffel Tower bit is excellent though and excellent backing track in Supernature.

Are they trying to find the sauce of the Seine? This could take hours.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Shambles

 

[Swegulls]

Run Amelie run!

[Silverhatch]

Magnificent Eiffel Tower! Should’ve built a stadium around it.

 

[Weststander]

Group hug with Poyet.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Cities are about people, not buildings. Having no crowds for this bit is weird, eerie and makes Paris look shit

 

[Curious Orange]

This is dull!

 

[Farehamseagull]

Has Alexandre Frutos had his turn with the torch yet? If not, why not?!

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

[raymondo]

Where's VAR when you need it

 

[KZNSeagull]

You'd think umbrella girl could have been sent to the old boy in the wheelchair rather.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Just wandering around a dystopian empty Paris in the rain. Very weird.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Why is Darth Vader holding the flag? Those Frenchies are some guys aren't they?
