"Everything in this tournament is going to be loud," Nico William said while all eyes stayed glued to the screen.
On screen, the opening ceremony had begun, with performers moving across the pitch in formations that, from the aerial shot, resolved into shapes recognisable as the flags of the three host nations.
The music at first was the kind of music these things always had, enormous and orchestral, designed to make the moment feel as large as it already was.

Pause
[Mid/AN: Okay, for the sake of not offending anyone, I will skip writing things like the opening ceremony performance. I looked online a lot for maybe a hint about anyone who could be performing, but it seems FIFA has done its best to keep it under wraps or just hasn't gotten an idea yet, so fill in the gaps with your mind. I know y'all have very..., umm..., broad and nice imaginations. (.﹏.). Okay, now back to the book.]
