There should be a global boycott of this. A 30 minute HT & performance just so the American audience doesn’t get bored. Is 15 minutes too long to wait without being entertained? If you’re watching on tv then switch channel & wait for the game to restart. Better still, don’t watch the game at all.

I've noticed that they're playing loud music after goals and during breaks as well. And now the celebrety fixation. I don't like it. There's no depth

Halftime is for taking the dog out for its evening shit. Or making a quick beer run because the first-half supply is already gone. Clowns and circus acts? No thanks.

No we do not want it, halftime is by the rules 15 min to avoid players cooling off too much. Instead we have to watch absolute shit music then wait for players to warm up again. Infantino is a greedy insecure pig.

This will be the first world cup final in 40 years I won't watch. I'm not alone This is the reason why. For those that watch. Enjoy the theatre. That's all this is. Alas It's not sport anymore

The halftime in soccer is 15 minutes. GTFO with this bullshit. The 2026 world championship, will forever be known as the most corrupt ever. And the finger points directly at Trump and Infantino. Shame on them.
