[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 810120, member: 72205"] The issue is and I'm incredibly biased having been volunteer at the last one is it's very hard to get hyped up as a nation after you just hosted it yourself. The euphoria of doing so just isn't the same thing at all. Coupled with difficult viewing times (a lot of finals are going to well past midnight) and you really need to a fan to really get into it. Remember the public were finding it hard to get excited before we hosted it until it all kicked off properly. I'm hoping it will change a bit once everything gets underway but I can't say I'm excited as I was 4 years ago by any stretch of the imagination. Still it's my favourite sporting event so I suspect after watching the opening ceremony tonight I'm in for a lot of sleepless night the coming 2 weeks. [/QUOTE]
