I'm not going to boo them unless they do something stupid. As far as I'm concerned they are guests in the UK and I hope they enjoy their stay.
EDIT
KOZZMO, you need to read up your history.
"Your attitude is the reason we Americans nearly let the Germans beat you in world war 2."
Nothing to do with UK's "attitude", the US was being isolationist and if the Germans hadn't had declared war on the US you would've stayed out fo European theatre.
"You lost your colonies in that war, and you deserved it."
again wrong, we lost mos tof our power, gold reserves etc in WW 1. The colonies wher elet go, over aperiod of 20 years AFTER the war, you really should look it up.
"The Malvinas, by the way, is in the western hemisphere, " and so is Britain you berk !! Where is the EAST-WEST LINE....er..in Greenwich, BRITAIN.
" Monroe made it American policy not to allow European colonies ", that's interesting because GUESS who helped the Monroe with this doctrine.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_Doctrine#The_S...
Because the U.S. lacked both a credible navy and army at the time, the doctrine was largely disregarded internationally. However, the Doctrine met with tacit British approval, and the Royal Navy mostly enforced it tacitly, as part of the wider Pax Britannica, which enforced the neutrality of the seas. This was in line with the developing British policy of laissez-faire free trade against mercantilism: fast-growing British industry was ever seeking outlets for its manufactured goods, and were the newly independent Latin American states to become Spanish colonies once more, British access to these markets would be cut off by Spanish mercantilist policy.
YES, it was the British royal navy that was the muscle behind the Monroe doctrine !!

The table tennis event. I like ping pong so staring at them is so enjoyable to wait for me. Appears so weird though. On a side word, i don't like how principal exercises are integrated in the summer Olympics. I think softball/baseball (yeah, they were taken away, i do know), soccer, tennis, golf, and many others. Are incorporated. Hockey and basketball are the one equivalent game that really works for Olympics in that method. I might love to see some action sports in there like for the wintry weather Olympics (skateboarding half of pipe!!!) but the us/Canada would simply dominate, that is the trouble. But action sporting events should develop world wide.

Your attitude is the reason we Americans nearly let the Germans beat you in world war 2.
You lost your colonies in that war, and you deserved it.
The Malvinas, by the way, is in the western hemisphere, and I'm not sure how you got away with colonizing it after Monroe made it American policy not to allow European colonies on our side of the world. If you get too uppity, we'll send our navy over there and throw you out. Our Monroe Doctrine technically requires that we take Argentina's side, so you should keep quiet.

Remember what goes round comes round .
Someday they may hold the Olympics and build a stadium on the falklands.
I wonder would their opening ceremony include mirage fighters .
