Madonna, Shakira and BTS set to headline 2026 World Cup final halftime show
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
landmine hidden somewhere in the field
FIFA needs to cancel their Peace Prize.
Using your hands is a crutch
One player on each team can have a gun
How about guaranteeing ticket holders from abroad not being detained, shot, annexed or tariffed? - Nah, who would trust that kind of promise …
Could use the trump head ball Mexican artists made
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.
Wasn’t this how rugby was invented?
Soccer needs to implement Ai into the game or get left behind!
11 goalies a side, each with different colored jerseys. Penalty box covers the whole field. Let it rip
Sad to see ticket sales are still happening, instead of them selling 0 tickets, and the FIFA execs having footballs kicked at them by pro players for a few hours.
Give every attendee a peace prize
if they could use their hands, they wouldn't be playing soccer.
When “ICE will not be attending” is a selling point once a potential spectator has made it past Border Control is not a selling strategy. The Canadian and Central/South American games will be a better time than anything the USA is capable atm.
They should try not being corrupt sleazy rapacious bastards instead of changing the game. FIFA delende est.
Tickets in LA for some games are in the $1000s for shitty seats. The resellers really screwing people.
how about take it to somewhere that actually cares about it would be a great place to start
Maybe it was a mistake to stage a football World Cup in a fascist shithole country? And yes, THIS is FOOTBALL!
Maybe they shouldn't give out peace prizes to wannabe dictators and just stick to football? That'd probably help
Funny. The problem is that it’s held in the US, who care as much about soccer as about cricket or table tennis. They have no business hosting this, and I wish they hadn’t.
Shakira, Madonna and BTS will headline the first halftime show at a World Cup final. The previous World Cup final drew more than 500 million live viewers, but the introduction of a musical performance could attract even more casual spectators.
Sacrilege. This is not how football works.
Americanizing football, starting with high cost public transportation and ending with half time shows, will not work. It will push fans further away (even more than having a wc in a land without basic human rights nearly every time), while not being interesting enough for anyone new.
Halftime is 15 minutes. How do they expect to fit that lot in in that space of time?
The Sesame Street Elmo and Chris Martin World cup halftime announcement for BTs/Madonna/Shakira is fucking wild like what even is happening
My brain is still stuck on “monsters too” like they really said monsterfucker rights
THIS. I still cannot absorb that this actually happened, it's like a weird drug trip
It was so cute!! I love it. I mean, it's years that Madonna doesn't sit right with me, but that's personal preference, and Shakira is basically intertwined with the world cup, so it's an obvious choice. But, our Tannies!? On the biggest stage that football has!? I'm still downloading the news😱
