Come to think of it...I seem to remember seeing them on an American TV show not that long ago.

post links if possible please...

I have no links, just a slow Internet connection and a radio. I was just stating that Australian radio had live coverage so one one should consider searching for Australian or other media for streaming video. Others on this thread no doubt will be able to find useful links.

I did a quick search and the official broadcaster in Australia is the Seven Network but didn’t see any live streaming link on their website. It might be there but I think NBC would block any US access by computer like they have for the CBC online stream too.

I see such real happiness in so many of the teams coming in. They are really happy to be there. Especially some of the African country teams and one from the smaller countries.

my guess is they are using the Chinese alphabet for order

Flag bearers at the 2008 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremonies in order of appearance.

They're on Jordan now, at justin.tv's site.

Oh yes. I saw the guys from Togo spinning around with enormous grins.

The crowd has been quite cheerful. I wonder what the reaction will be when WE hit the stadium?

I’m thinking pretty loud applause for the US teams.

Maybe some raspberries from the Canadians....(heh heh heh)

France enters...smartly attired. Sarkozy, in the crowd, stands and looks great.
