The festivities of the 2014 World Cup ceremonies commenced at 8:00 PM in the massive Stade de France in Paris. The first show was one military might as a contingent of German recruits drilled on the football field and gave fantastic displays of military might.

During the marching, the Gulf flag was also brought into the arena by the Gulf football team and when the drilling was done, they set up the next stage. Beyonce and Jay-Z performed on the stage and then PSY performed gangnam style. After a massive display of lights and color, a Japanese choir came into the field and performed the "Ode to Joy". At the end of the song, a huge firework show exploded in the distance from behind the Eiffel Tower.
The ceremonies ended well and there was no accidents. All the Presidents of the football associations were present but there were no heads of state that attended, some speculate as a protest against the Gulf Empire. Check out our attached photos and videos for more on the event.
