Whoops! World Cup Opening Ceremony Displays the Wrong Nation's Flag
Posted Saturday, June 14, 2014 by Foxsports.com
As we all know, Thursday’s World Cup opener did not go off without a hitch.
A bank of floodlights in Sao Paulo’s stadium went out inside the first 15 minutes of the match, the doves released met an untimely demise, and we all know about Pitbull’s costume. But even though we kept a running diary of everything that happened yesterday, we still managed to miss the perhaps most egregious moment of the entire day:
The awkward moment when they use the Niger flag instead of Nigeria.
Yup, the organizers of the World Cup opening ceremony displayed Niger’s flag on the giant globe… while announcing Nigeria. Oops!
