BBC to ignore World Cup final half-time show as broadcaster sets out plans 09:17 - May 24 with 972 viewsMark

Good on the BBC, absolutely right. It would be mad not to do half time analysis in what should be the biggest match in the world!

maybe if it was actual analysis, and not just a bunch of ex footballers stating the obvious and citing rules of the game that dont exist anymore because their game knowledge is 20 years at least out of date, I think I can cope without their input.

youll probably find its a far more prosaic reason than the Beeb doing you a favour, in that given the artists performing, theyve probably applied all kinds of horrible repeat fees/iplayer limits that would just make it difficult, expensive or just impossible for the Beeb to show parts or highlights of the final again with the half time show attached to it, this way theyve probably got more scope to do things with the game footage.

or do you think FIFA just bundle this kind of thing in for free...

Probably one of the few things that Roy Keane ever got right was the "Prawn Sandwich brigade" We see this endlessly at Wembley where those in the hospitality area show as much interest in football as I do with classical music and ballet (each to their own by the way).
But then America is renowned for bally ho, razzamatazz and all that. The big problem is that although large parts of the USA are poor there are many that go the extra mile to pay for things that many cannot afford or would be severely stretched.
This world cup will be beyond many. Personally even if I could afford to go and pay extortionate amounts to stay,watch games,travel etc I wouldn't and I apply that to anything. If I feel it bears no relation to what it's worth, then no thanks.

Yep, and as football becomes ever more expensive ordinary fans are priced out.

I presume the half time interval in the World Cup Final will be the standard 15 minutes, as some reports suggested they would extend it.

Yep, the only problem being as another poster pointed out, that'll be ex players pointing out the " effing " obvious that even a blind person could see. Which is precisely why I rarely watch half time summing ups these days.

Nobody does, it's when people go for a wazz, the fridge etc, doesn't really matter what happens at HT it's filler and they know that.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

What?! Bloody hell. I was looking forward to 45 minutes build up to the half time show, a scintillating performance by Coldplay and then 45 minutes post-half time show analysis with Gary Neville.

Boo. Clegg OUT!

Most expensive tournament in history, costing anything to well over £10k to follow your team through the whole thing. A family of four can have a very nice holiday for that comfortably.

That’s assuming they’ll let you in because you haven’t called Trump a demented c*** on social media of course! I’m assuming Iranian fans may struggle to get an ESTA…
