No opening ceremony....

[Franco Vazquez]

I am telling you this is going to be one of the worst world cups in the recent history and that’s not just in cricket but all other sports as well. Did ICC throw down the money down the well? Like why is there no marketing at all?

yup why there is no noise, 2011 had a great ceremony I think 2015 also had one  if I remember.

There is a opening ceremony... currently on-going. One of the worst ceremony you could have asked for. No-ceremony would have been better.

Imagine if Ireland and Scotland were playing this WC, They could have brought in some famous celebs from those countries and it would have increased the attendance by at least a good 5k. It looked like Trump's inauguration if we look at the crowd. Pathetic ceremony

Opening ceremonies are pointless anyway. Just get to business.

Nothing can be worse than the 1996 world cup opening ceremony. The ultra boring laser show made worse by windy conditions that had the projection swinging all over the place

Been the case for a while. Was watching some thing on tv the other day...even soccer despite being the mat popular sport, is not as popular in England as it was 10 years ago. So what are youngsters in Britain into these days? Not even beer. That too is less popular than it was 10 years ago. Not sex- they're also having less sex than they did a decade ago.

No they are not. This is World Cup not something small. This should be a showcase of cricket to no cricketing world. What happened to today was embarrassing to say the least as a cricket fan

If a game needs gimmicks like this to survive, then let it just die. It's not worth it.
