I know this kind of thing works at American wanky sport but for the rest of the world and especially the UK it really doesn’t. Total dross.
I’ve forgotten what I was watching.
For gods sake never let them have it again please 🙏

Could have been OK if it was bands and singers designed to get the crowd up.

Anthem type songs.

That was awful

Play the game, have the trophy awarding THEN have a party by all means... They could do a 2 hour concert for charities or something. All those rich folk in the stadium for "the experience" can stick their hands in their pockets

I've always been more of a Rock N Roll/Blues fan. But Madonna was a big deal back in the day. The funniest part of my Madonna story is that I'd been hanging out with her brother for a while. We knew each other from the East Lansing, Michigan State University bar scene. And he never said s**t about his sister until that night at the bar. I was working the door and he rolls up in a Limo. I'm like WTF? :roflmao:

That has to be the longest haif-time break ever in football.

Typical American.

Last summer's Club World Cup Final halftime show was no treat either Leon.

But in fairness, World Cup Halftime shows have been trending this way for a while. As I recall, the halftime show in Qatar was pretty bad also. I personally don't like any of it.

I think Paredes is lucky not to get sent off with a 2nd yellow. By the way, he's the FIFTH player for Argentina now that doesn't play in Europe.

Why are people in the crowd dancing to this music during the McDonald's break ?
Have they been paid or something
