I completely agree..people have been shot for less. I dont understand how the olympics have started before the opening ceremony.., does anyone else find it strange.
If I were the football teams I would possibly believe that the matches were an after thought having been put on earlier as the schedule couldnt fit it in. The only way I would describe it would be watching the 100m final and letting the guys have a head start before firing the starters gun
