On one level I think this is absolutely appalling, but on another level I feel entirely validated in not being emotionally invested in any sport whatsover.

“The 2026 World Cup final will stage a Super Bowl-style half-time show for the first time, with Coldplay helping to pick a "list of artists" to perform.

The tournament, which will be co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico, concludes with the final on 19 July 2026 at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.”

Chris Martin of British band Coldplay
BBC Sport · Coldplay to help decide 2026 World Cup final half-time show performers - BBC SportColdplay will work alongside Fifa to decide a "set of artists" to perform a half-time show at the 2026 World Cup final.

Half time is for having a piss and buying a pie, you heathens.

“The tournament, which will be co-hosted by three countries at war with each other…”

@Nickiquote and how’s the cohosting going work out with the USians being a big bag of dicks?

@Nickiquote How to make soccer even more boring? Put Coldplay in charge of entertainment

@Nickiquote Why would Canada and Mexico participate in a sporting event in New Jersey, in the land of their enemies? They should boycott. Sports are not worth fascism.

@steter @Nickiquote the last two world cups have been in Russia and Qatar so... Uh... Yeah
