    2020 will either be in Tokyo (overcrowded) Madrid (bankrupt) or Istanbul (rabid fans).

    Istanbul will probably get it. The IOC appears to be trying to be more inclusive (Rio) and a middle eastern country has never hosted it.

    Wow, this closing ceremony is comparable to a 2-day old coffee that's been sitting there in the cold.

    I would prefer them not to play Wonderwall at all.

    The main flame went off before the conclusion of the ceremony. LOOOOOOL.

    What do you expect people? The organization failed the world wide audiences at the very basic level.

    Lets just say I am not a fan of overplayed pretentious pop.

    The remarks from the president is slap in the faces of the Brits. Basically it's like: is this all you can do, GB?

    Yeah, "happy and glorious"? He sure didn't look happy or glorious.

    So in "closing"

    We can conclude that England culture is overrated.

    You'd think a country with the royalty that they have would know how to deliver the required pagaentry.

    Or maybe they're not "exotic" and "foreign" enough. They're any easy mainstream choice to hate on, the same way the US is.

    Compare to London, I thought you might have underestimated Atlanta.
