FIFA should just rename the tournament Stanley's World Series Superbowl Cup!

Pile of wank, if ever there was one.

Fuck off

Thanks America. 🫩

Trash...

NFL half times are 10 minutes outside of the Super Bowl and possibly the thanksgiving games.

The World Cup will be decided by which team has the better massage therapists.

Rules? What rules?

Nah, that's fucking ridiculous. I foresee an American Pie situation... "As the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield..." #FIFA #fuckup #WorldCup26

Invite the Tartan Army back over, pipes at the ready. 🎶Doon his legs, the muck will flow Let the stink rise high Let the stain run low All the lassies shout, "Pædo! Donald's shat his troosers!"🎵

No it's not. If you think for 5 seconds Trump wouldn't be screaming for credit from the roof tops I've got a bridge to sell you. FIFA was greedy long before Trump. Any long time fans can tell you that.

I hope the crowd boos them off. It’s the most important game in world football and FIFA breaks its own rules to flog burgers and coke. FIFA is saying football isn’t entertaining. I propose the next Taylor Swift concert has a break for Bolton Wanderers V Doncaster Rovers. It’s no less ridiculous.

Was this always the plan or have they come up with it mid-tournament?

A lot of people will be switching off for 30 I guess.

So we switch off our tv's

The players should all just come back out onto the pitch after 15 and start kicking balls about.

F*ck FIFA a million times over.

Complete BS. Way to kill the momentum.

The worst organised world cup of all time continues to find new ways to disappoint.

I guess we can all just switch off for 30 minutes.

Gente, essa não era a Shakira, não era mesmo...

For the love of money, what the actual… Terrible 😞

No need to be mean to the artists. For those who could not get a ticket to see BTS on tour this is the nearest they will get and that is exciting - even though, yes, it’s all wrong.

WTAF

Terrible!

Presumably, Trump will come in and take a penalty with a magic boot.

A rest that long completely changes football. It’s bad for the players too. They’ll come out stiff. Halftime is meant to be a breather not an actual rest. Each half of the game will be detached from the other.

Disgraceful

More time to pee and get new beers

A lot of sh*t being written here about “Americans”. We are under so much threat that a HT show in a sporting event is nothing. MLS fans are very respectful of the game, U.S. Soccer would NEVER have done this. It’s all corruption by the powerful. Is this really worse than slave labor deaths in Qatar?

UEFA needs to pull out of the world cup and watch it collapse, without the European teams it us a nothing competition

Nobody wants this, this is the worst idea ever. Football is not an American sport, we dont need awful music to entertain us. Half time is for food, drinks and analysis

So this is what we’ll get once prem ownership is majority American.

Go fuck yourselves, FIFA

Pathetic.

Why am I surprised we’re only hearing this now? FIFA are a clown show, stealing the soul of the game in a relentless pursuit of the Yankee dollar. Shame on them

That's what's been missing, we need more vuvuzelas.

There will hardly be any genuine football fans at the WC Final, it'll mostly be corporate guests, competition-winners and celebrities.

Cunts

They don't understand that people absolutely hate this Americanization of such a global sport that Americans don't even like. This is football, not a music concert. People around the world are not watching the game for music ffs.

Americans and fifa are ruining football

There's a lot of advert breaks they have to fit in for US broadcasters. Sigh...

The warm welcome for and celebration with visiting fans in the cities and bars on the other hand has looked ‘very football’ and beautiful to see (Boston being a wonderful example).

FIFA is spitting in your face and laughing while it shakes the last of its piss into your cereal, but you go off on the Big Bad United States. The US didn't determine the Half time show. FIFA did over a year ago. It's like you like being wrong and making us look bad because you're too emotional.

It's FIFA not the Americans who are ruining it. FIFA have all the power, they do not have to say yes. They can decide against hydration breaks and extended half time shows

Ridiculous claw finger nails, arm sleeves and autotune for 30 minutes? No thanks, we get expert 'punditry' in the UK 😂

Satire is dead

Its a literal fucking circus now.

Infanfuckingtino

Hope it gets booed from start to finish.

What the FUCK, #FIFA? You idiots! You are embarrassing football. Have you totally forgotten your mission, your values, your... Whatever you had, it's all in trashbin now.

Fire that cunt Infantino into the sun. What a prick.

Fuck off then.

Hopefully the BBC and ITV will ignore it and give us the usual punditry which suddenly seems the less bad option.

The minute it hits 15 mins buckets of shit should be poured onto the stage.

Hope England get there and come up with a 'creative' song about it.

I mean the idea of the USA is fantastic, but fuck off with this shit.

Say what now?

I think when an orange dictator got a player’s suspension lifted, all rules were off.

Looks like the football is secondary to money

fuck fifa. and fuck america.

Literally the shitest thing that has ever happened in the known universe in all of time. #FIFA #Halftimeshow is #Lame

Is that with or without 'hydration breaks'?

The fans will of course boo for 15 of those minutes, showing the kind of solidarity for their beautiful game that they’ve always shown when money tries to ruin it… ✊🤔

Why in gods name would I want to see THAT?

With such a long break it may as well be a different match. Can't help feel it will taint whoever wins.

Eugh

Get it gone

What a farce!😡😡

How very American.

Of course not, they’re just cash cows for these people, aren’t they?

Well, let's just not bother with the football, eh?

That's America for you.

Load of shit, will most definitely turn off my TV for the entire 30 mins.
