FIFA announced Madonna, Shakira and BTS will co-headline the halftime show at the 2026 World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The lineup pairs Madonna's four-decade pop catalog, Shakira's Latin crossover anthems and BTS's global K-pop repertoire for a single, high-profile performance. The United States, Canada and Mexico are cohosting the tournament, and the halftime event will cap the final while drawing a global television audience and spotlighting pop music's international reach.

Sad to see ticket sales for the World Cup are struggling. FIFA need to do something drastic to get people excited about it. Let the players pick up the ball

A live alligator will be released onto the field during penalty time.

Maybe they could line up and try to advance the ball ten meters at a time until they cross the entire pitch to score

Not American enough. Give the players guns.

There are so many reasons why people outside the US dont want to come and most start with Trump, guns, high cost, safety, so ill stick to the summary

FIFA needs to cancel their Peace Prize.

How about guaranteeing ticket holders from abroad not being detained, shot, annexed or tariffed? - Nah, who would trust that kind of promise …

I wonder why foreign visitors are reluctant to come to the US after the attacks on foreigners by ICE thugs. FIFA, corrupt as usual, has added to the appeal by charging atrociously high prices for tickets. FIFA needs to move the games to Canada and Mexico for the safety of their players and fans.

11 goalies a side, each with different colored jerseys. Penalty box covers the whole field. Let it rip

Tickets in LA for some games are in the $1000s for shitty seats. The resellers really screwing people.
