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.”

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
