Yes I know we’ve had opening ceremonies (who can forget that Euros in London?!) But football doesn’t need razzmatazz |  |

| World Cup final half time show - discuss? on 20:27 - May 16 with 1341 views | J2BLUE | It would be one thing if there was some sort of area what was set up in advance and some random performed 3-4 songs in the 15 minutes but a half time show like the Super Bowl is an absolute joke. FIFA are destroying the game. Just to be clear I wouldn't be in favour of any half time show but at least the idea above would not screw up the game. |  | |  |

I've heard rumours it could be half an hour, which is completely ridiculous. |  | |  |

Athletes conditioned for a 15 minute break would then need another warm up. So stupid. |  | |  |

Exactly. Hopefully the rumours are BS. |  | |  |
| World Cup final half time show - discuss? on 14:34 - May 17 with 1027 views | britbiker | Bring back the fans spinning around a pole and trying to take a penalty without falling over. As it's the world cup it could become an international Its A Knockout. Bring back big Frank Bruno on Comms. [Post edited 17 May 14:40]

I'd like to see more of an American theme to the half time show. Either monster trucks destroying smaller cars or the latest version of Evel Knieval attempting to jump over a gang of buses or something similar |  | |  |

Think FIFA would need to get the rules changed with IFAB first. Law 7 states that the maximum half time break must be 15 minutes. Even one minute more needs the express permission of the referee |  |

No one is "spinning" a world cup heavily tainted by taking place in a rogue state, with appalling prices and a peace prize given to a deranged and dangerous leader. These things are real. |  |

They are real indeed, as will the football be real. Just focus on the football and you might enjoy it. |  | |  |

Presumably they won't have to queue for the loo first - that's what normally messes up half time [Post edited 22 May 19:54]

Surely it is inevitable that it will follow a similar format to the SuperBowl for pre-match entertainment and midgame breaks. EDIT: I also think it would be a big gig for Chris Martin. Surely one of their bigger stars like Grant Holt or even Jan Molby would be available? [Post edited 22 May 20:04]

I don’t recall these happening before but I’m really enjoying each countries mini trailer/film with the announcement of their squad .. England,Scotland,Senegal,Norway,curaçao, New Zealand I’ve seen so far. |  |
