I cannot wait to see Ulsan take on Wydad at The Camping World Stadium, Orlando.

There is to be a half time show in the final of the WC

This is not ok (even if a subsequent thread by crodonilson says it's great).
It’s a crock of shit, I don’t go to or watch football to see a musical interlude at half time! They are really trying hard to piss fans off too by trying to get Coldplay to do it. Much as I like Coldplay, even I know, if they tried that at the Amex they’d be risking Cucurella levels of booing! :wink:

We are moving towards it though with those f***ing flame machines at night games

Manchester City - allegedly the biggest cheats in football - and Chelsea, kings of creative accounting, stand to trouser between £47m and £70m each to help with their PRS woes and further distort the sport.

Pretty much sums it up.

The flame machines don't affect the game, and I could even stomach someone signing if they just walk on and get off again after 10 minutes. What would not be ok, is anything that delays the second half kick-off.

How would you enjoy a concert with a random bit of football being shown between bands?

There's not supposed to be a gap between bands at a concert, so a gap would be annoying. But you're right, if I was at the game I'd want to be thinking about the football I'd just seen and was about to see, not being bothered by some music. And at home I want to watch analysis of the first half, not watch a show.

What is the criteria for Chelsea being included?

I'm happy with this on the condition it's the come back tour of Gully's Girls.

When was the half time break extended to 15 minutes from 10? Search of the net and everyone is too young to remember but generally thought to be when football first started, 1992, to extend the TV adverts.
I've always wondered why there isn't a longer break, although if you're at the game watch on the touchline for someone with their hand in the air*. They are in charge of KO and the game wont start until they say so, or the commercials are over.
*Technology means probably told via headphones.

Friendlies played at 1mph with rolling subs I expect. Complete waste of time
Depends on the goal of the tournament. Given that it's an Infantino-led sell out, you can guarantee that the only "benefit" of this competition is to pile more money into the pockets of the richest global clubs. I somehow doubt that the clubs will take it seriously, but it won't matter, as long as FIFA get their PR and the clubs get their cash
