It is just basically present the trophy, run round the pitch then fireworks I guess ?

Pele might parachute in or Neymar might turn up in his wheelchair flying through the air like 2012...

should have a ceremony like lighting the torch, maybe a big gold ball that is pumped up in opening ceremony, then deflated at the closing

Surprised we haven't had a thread asking for it to be scrapped.

Surely John Terry will be involved ?

I don't get why we have these ceremonies, they're always a half ars*d affair when compared to the Olympics. Either do it properly or don't do it at all IMO.

Funny, I absolutely detest Olympics ceremonies but then I only like football.

I expect Maradona will come down, give his successor Messi a big hug and they will do a lap of honour with the trophy? Hopefully the fireworks will be blue and white.

Same here
