Football fans, like Wayne Rooney, slammed the half-time show
There had been reports, UK broadcasters had planned to skip the halftime show, choosing instead to stick to traditional football coverage and prioritise expert studio analysis of the first half.
However, it was shown in its entirety with performances from Madonna, Justin Bieber, the Muppets, Shakira and Coldplay. There was even a bizarre moment that saw Ronaldo and Ronaldinho in a car with Madonna.
“Ronaldo and Ronaldinho driving Madonna to the World Cup half time show… What is going on,” one fan said.

While another couldn’t get over how American it all was: “This World Cup is an absolute shambles. 30 min halftime show, championship rings, pathetic. Can’t wait for a proper WC back in Europe!”
Another agreed: “Can’t wait for the World Cup halftime show – said no football fan ever.”
Shakira was one of the headliners
Despite the controversy, Shakira took to Instagram ahead of the final to share her excitement.
Along with a photo of Burna Boy, she said: “Getting ready for Sunday! @burnaboygram See you at the @fifaworldcup Final! Dai dai, ikó, dale, allez, let’s go.”
